Manage episode 394138548 series 3418151
Ever find yourself reminiscing about those '90s action flicks that peppered your youth with equal parts adrenaline and cheese? Well, saddle up for a throwback ride with Anna and Jimmy, as they circle back to the 1995 heist movie "Money Train." With Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes, and Jennifer Lopez leading the charge, we revisit the thrills, spills, and yes, the considerable amount of cringe-worthy moments that made this film a mixed bag of action-packed nostalgia.
They get real about the ambitious budget and box office reception, which, by the way, didn't quite match up. Their chat meanders through the film's plot—or at least what they can remember of it—and they can't help but chuckle over the one-liners and the dated racial dynamics that seem more out of sync now than ever. The chemistry between Harrelson and Snipes gets its due spotlight, as does Lopez's somewhat solitary strut on screen. But don't let their foggy memories fool you; they've got the nitty-gritty on those climactic scenes and the impressive train derailment effects that'll have you rethinking how much you loved (or didn't) this '90s gem.
Wrapping things up with a bang, they ponder the legacy "Money Train" has left behind and whether it withstands the test of time—or if, like many trains, it's simply due to be retired. From the brutal fight choreography to the nighttime filming challenges in New York, they unpack it all, leaving you with either a renewed appreciation for this blast from the past or a firm reasoning as to why some movies should probably stay in the last century. So, hop on board as they dissect this cinematic artifact, and don't forget to hit play for a journey filled with action, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of reality checks.
