Episode 161 - "So I guess you have a choice. You want a war? Or do you wanna just give me a gun?"
The Silver Screen Podcast’s sequel season continues as we return to the world of professional assassins, blood markers and very strict hotel rules for a look at 2017’s John Wick: Chapter 2! Mike is joined by Michael Whaley and Lynn as we discuss whether Chad Stahelski’s sequel improves upon its predecessor, expanding the mythology and introducing us to the mysterious High Table, the Continental’s wider world and the consequences of John Wick being dragged back into the life he left behind. We’ll be discussing Keanu Reeves’ continued evolution into the role, the film’s new characters, its spectacular action sequences and increasingly elaborate world-building, as well as the stunning visual style and that unforgettable hall-of-mirrors finale. But does John Wick: Chapter 2 successfully build upon the foundations of the original, or does the relentless violence and occasionally sluggish pacing hold it back? Join us as we check back into the Continental and discover whether this sequel has what it takes to stay on the right side of the High Table!
