Why can't more movies be like Crank 2? Sure it's racist, sexist, implausible and disgusting, but that's what makes it so much fun! Jensen Karp is our lucky guest in the studio with Paul and June (Jason is still in New York, but is live via satellite or something), and together they figure how tar enemas and full-body Tourette's can make Chev Chelios' second adventure so much better than the first. If this podcast doesn't get your heart pumping, well...you'll die, I guess. So you better listen!

I stand by my opinion that Jason Statham is a hit man in real life, and all of these movies he's in are just documentaries.

I too have a mancrush on Jason Statham and will watch every one of his movies. Can't wait for Killer Elite!

What's up with the episodes getting shorter and shorter?

I'm glad this episode was over this movie because I would have never watched it on my own. I'm still a little shocked by what I watched. I'm still not sure what I watched but I'm pretty sure it was greatness.

Dwight Yokum and Chocolate were together. Chocolate is his secretary and girlfriend. When he says he has a girl out on the street, he is talking about Chocolate, who we cut to walking down the street.

They mention cameos and the gay couple but fail to mention it is Maynard James Keenan(TOOL) and Danny Lohner(NIN)? Come on guys!

The UFC fighter Keith Jardine also made a cameo. My favorite cameo was Jenna Haze but that's probably because I"m addicted to internet porn.

okay, in the scene where venus and orlando show up at the mansion, did anyone else notice a bikini girl running around with one of those collars they put on dogs to keep them from chewing on stitches?

Ok, so I'm at home on Friday night and I decided to watch it. Holy shit, this is probably the shittiest movie I have ever seen. It almost felt like they were really trying to make the shittiest movie ever.

Love this movie and this podcast, but this was hands-down the weakest entry yet. If I wanted to hear 4 people repeat "That was A-M
AZING! - That was fucked up - That was INCREDIBLE! - That was crazy" then I can mention Crank 2 to the meatheads at my office
and hear them yammer on about it. What happened to trying to figure out the motivations for why a film was made. I guess for this
one it was easy; the first one was a success. Then why does it qualify for this podcast? Because Scheer liked it? I bet he likes lots
of movies. What happened to trying to figure out some of the stranger moments/themes? It seemed like when anyone raised a question:
What was Chocolate's role, how did the head operate...we just moved right on. No theories about the head being from hell, or how
someone should have drank a beer out of it. Maybe the gang should just stick to movies that they don't love and think are "incredible!" and
are popular films, so we don't have to get is JD Raphael saying "That was Amazing!" dozens and dozens of times.

Agree with Jim above. maybe it's better to do a movie that they actually don't like, so they can dissect it.

1. Chicken and Broccoli

1) The sexual position 69, especially with regards to an Asian couple.

2) A non sequitur, based on the first definition, intended to be used in any particularly exhilarating situation involving Asians, as made famous by Jason Statham's character in Crank 2: High Voltage.

Usage:
Chinese Husband: How about a little 69, baby?
Chinese Wife: You want me to make chicken and broccoli at this hour!?

I originally rented this movie because Mike Patton did the soundtrack.... The score for this film was totally underrated, it works well with the movie but even on its own, it's got some great melodies and is indicative of Patton's more creative side as opposed to his ubiquitous vocal noise type projects.

Jesus, the "can't touch the ground" idea is genius.
