0:00.0	Hey, if you love the rewatchables, our entire library of episodes, which is over 180 at this point,
0:05.8	they're all available only on Spotify if you want here. Anything from the past six weeks that's
0:10.2	available everywhere. But if you want the entire library, all the classics that we've done over
0:15.0	the last four years, only available on Spotify. We're also brought to you by TheRinger.com and the
0:21.9	Ringer podcast network coming up. I guess I'm still too old for this shit. LethahWeapon 2. Wow, it's next.
0:52.8	LethahWeapon 2. I'm not a cop tonight Roger. His personal rated R. Now playing at a theater near you.
1:06.4	All right, Chris Ryan is here. Van Lathen is here. It was just me and Chris for LethahWeapon 1.
1:12.2	We brought in the big guns for LethahWeapon 2. LethahWeapon 2 is just a better movie. As
1:16.3	much as I love LethahWeapon 1, LethahWeapon 2. One of the greatest sequels of all time. We've
1:20.8	litigated this before in the podcast, but I'm just going to do it again. Because our argument is great.
1:26.0	Godfather 2 is the greatest sequel of all time. If you're doing the Mount Rushmore, Terminator 2 is
1:32.1	in there. I think that's when we brought this back up again. LethahWeapon 2, Dark Knight,
1:36.3	Aliens, Before Sunset, Empire Strikes Back, and there's maybe one or two more. Van, what's your
1:42.7	Mount Rushmore? LethahWeapon 2 on it. You don't even have to give me the other three. LethahWeapon 2
1:46.4	on the Mount Rushmore. You know what? It wasn't before this rewatch. I got to be honest with you.
1:51.1	I had never thought about it before, but it is now. I had never thought about it before, but leave
1:56.4	the Weapon 2 is superior to the first in almost every way. You're right about that, but you
2:01.1	you inception to that into my mind. I had never thought about it before. Chris, I was shocked by how
2:05.6	good this movie was. This movie came out 32 years ago, and it's like they basically perfected
2:12.4	the 80s action movie. They took all of the pieces and we've been covering them a lot on the
2:16.0	rewatchables. They took all the pieces that worked, dumped all the pieces that didn't work.
2:20.9	There's no dead spots in this movie. It fucking moves. I was writing down most rewatchable scenes.
