Episode 32 - Babylon AD
Episode description
In the year 2058, a racially ambiguous mercenary (Vin Diesel) is hired by a very French sexual harrasser (Gerard Depardieu) to smuggle a young girl (Melanie Thierry) and her Warrior Nun bodyguard (Michelle Yeoh) across the Bering Strait and into America. Pretty cool setup, right? I know I'm intrigued! Surely this will payoff big time! Spoiler alert: They do not. Another spoiler alert: Things get really Jesusy.
This week ya boys watch and recap 2008's Babylon A.D. A clustersuck of a film with a lot of good ideas that go absolutely nowhere.
