Hello fiends and familiars, we return this week with an action extravaganza as we take a look back at the early days of Dwayne Johnson's film career to talk about The Rundown. This star vehicle teamed Rocky up with Sean William Scott, Rosario Dawson, and Christopher Walken to great effect. But does it hold up? We break it apart to talk style, archetypes, actor brands, action heroes, and much, much more.
