Episode #39 – The Spirit
Frank Miller’s take on The Spirit opens with Gabriel Macht and Samuel L. Jackson fighting in a pool of literal crap…and that’s really the perfect metaphor for this movie. It’s the first film the guys review that they hate, and Perry swears to one day make Derrick pay for forcing him to watch it.
