Naren and Nitin are joined by returning cast member Mithun Sundar for a fully loaded, all-guns blazing review of John Wick: Chapter 4, followed by a sprawling retrospective of the entire John Wick saga. The gang discusses threadbare the framework and set-up of the rules binding Wick-verse, and the escalating scope of action choreography through the progress of the series. Also on the pod - a dissection of the origin stories of directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelsky, and a celebration of this seminal moment in cinema where stunt directors are becoming full-fledged film directors. The gang marvels at the evolution of Keanu Reeves, and pays their respects to the wonderful turns from Ian McShane, Lawrence Fishburne and the late great Lance Reddick. Also, a contemplation on the important Matrix v John Wick debate. Plus - what's an Intermission episode without some impromptu quiz questions, and some out-of-the-blue Kamal Haasan connections :-)
