This is pretty much poppy culture podcast deconsecrated.

Today we're discussing the John Wick series of again in 2014 in light of the latest installment ballerina.

My name is Mark Linsonmeyer, and I don't know what ladies with tattoos are doing with my file behind the scenes. I'm Al Baker, and if you want to be a gangster, there's only one rule you need to follow. That rule is that there are only two rules you need to follow. The second rule is that there are only three rules you need to follow, but the last one is really important.

But I'm not going to tell you until later.

I'm Sarah Lambrecht.

And the thing that was hardest to believe in the John Wick universe is that there are hotels out there where murders don't happen.

That's kind of dark.

I don't know if I like that.

This is Lawrence Ware coming to you from Oklahoma City,

and you won't believe what I can do with a pencil.

And our special guest.

I'm Brian Casey, and I've got a Commodore 64 in my basement,

so maybe I should go behind the scenes.

Yes, Brian, brother of Dylan, brother of Josh,

has appeared on at least two or three, three PL slash PMP recordings over the years.

And we saw this movie together and I thought I should just get you involved.

So there you go. Lawrence reached out to us just like two days ago saying, maybe we shouldn't do this because ballerina is such a non-entity. Nobody's discussing it. It's not selling well. Partly from seeing,

well, it was too late to make this decision. But I think it's the franchise as a whole. I wasn't

aware until Sarah made it me aware of just that in this last May, this Wic is Pain documentary came out.

So just seeing that and seeing like what the series is actually all about, that it's like

these stunt guys that were second unit directors on the Matrix and other things that finally

got to make, you know, Keanu lent his star power to, why don't you guys just make them the directors?
