·39 min·3 clips

Three janitors review Amazon Prime's 'The Wrecking Crew' and immediately roast it for lacking Wreck-It Ralph.

The episode features three janitors from a film school reviewing Amazon Prime's movie 'The Wrecking Crew,' released in 2026. The hosts—Rodney, Jason, and Sean—start by joking about the title and expressing disappointment that Wreck-It Ralph is not in the film. They introduce the main actors, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, and note the Hawaiian setting. The hosts discuss Bautista's role in other shows like 'Barry' and 'Dexter,' and Momoa's consistent acting style, comparing him to Nicolas Cage. They summarize the plot: estranged half-brothers reunite after their father's death, involving a hit-and-run, Yakuza attacks, and a conspiracy about indigenous land and a casino. The hosts critique the movie's logic, such as quick travel from Oklahoma to Hawaii and unrealistic fight scenes. They analyze a poorly executed hallway fight scene, comparing it to 'Old Boy' and 'Daredevil.' The conversation includes debates about self-defense, character motivations, and the movie's 1980s influences, referencing films like 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Hawaii Five-0.' The hosts discuss supporting characters like Marina Baccarin and a corrupt politician uncle, and speculate about sequels. They conclude with mixed reviews: one host dislikes the film for being messy, while others appreciate its nostalgic elements and would watch a sequel. The episode ends with promotional details and a humorous tangent about 'Babes in Caves' movies.
