How Did This Get Made?

1992's Live Wire stars Pierce Brosnan as a bomb expert with two big problems: someone's using explosive water to blow up senators, and one of those senators is f**king his wife. Johnny Knoxville (Jackass: Best and Last) and Nicole Byer (Nailed It!) join Paul and Jason at Largo in L.A. to break it all down, including actor/activist Ron Silva's wild hair, Madonna the bomb robot, the exploding clown and exploding judge scenes, the multiple up-skirt bomb defusal situations, the bathtub sex scene, and so much more. Plus, Nicole reveals her very limited knowledge of actors who played James Bond.

Ed Burns and Sir Ben Kingsley travel to the past on a time safari in A Sound of Thunder—a Ray Bradbury adaptation that might have the worst CGI in film history. LIVE from Largo in Los Angeles, Paul, Jason, and June discuss all the ludicrous time travel logic, how everyone in this world should be losing their minds, the incredible energy Sir Ben Kingsley brings to his scenes, and the reason why this movie was released with unfinished special effects. Watch out for those thorns everyone! (Ep. #292 Originally Released 05/05/2022)
