Folks, you're missing out if you haven't seen "The Fall Guy." The Geeks recently saw the new action/romantic-comedy in the theater (one of them twice), and now they're reviewing & recommending it to you, our discerning stunt team.

- This movie is part action movie, part romantic comedy. For the action part, it's a "love letter" for stunt people. What did the Geeks think about the stunts in the movie?

- Which scenes, stunts, moments, techniques, and running gags did the Geeks enjoy in the movie?

- When Todd went to see this a 2nd time by himself, how successful was his attempt to write notes in a dark theater?

- Three of the Geeks saw the movie, but only two Geeks could make it for the review. What was one of the complaints of the Geek who couldn't record?

- How convincing was the romantic comedy portion? Were the performances, dialogue, and editing, good enough to fill in any blanks that we didn't see on camera, while Colt & Jody were apart? Did Ryan Gossling & Emily Blunt have good chemistry when their characters were reunited?

- How well were the action & romantic comedy aspects blended together? Through the writing, directing, and editing, did the two genres fit together well?

- In the spoiler section, what was one Geek's issues with the plot and the movie-within-a-movie, "Metalstorm"?

- What comparison did one Geek make between "The Fall Guy" and "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King"?

- What surprise twist at the end did one Geek think was one of the best jokes in the movie?

- Was "Metalstorm" more "Mad Max," "Rebel Moon," or a little of both?

- If Dave Teague were still alive (not to be confused with Dave Shutt, who's still with us; he's fine, folks), what would Dave have thought about this movie, in general, and also about the end credits being refreshingly short?

- How would this movie have been received if it had come out in the '90s?

- What grade would Dave Teague have given this movie?

- And, bringing topics together, what ultra-bloody 1980s action movie, still a Dave Teague pick left on our list, did the Geeks randomly roll for a future review?

Listen now for the answers to these and other death-defying, safety-tested questions as we take the plunge with, "The Fall Guy."

NOTE: After the SPOILER SECTION starts, you can SKIP AHEAD to 01:08:33 for SPOILER-FREE ratings, the roll for a future topic, salutations, and some trivia about the Fall Guy theme song, "The Unknown Stuntman."
