This week, we’re seeing double. Jon and Will review Gemini Man, a new action-thriller-spy-clone film starring Will Smith from acclaimed writer and director Ang Lee. Known for its off-kilter shooting style and aggressively high frame rate, Gemini Man has critics and audiences torn, but where do the Cinemaholics stand? Also in the show, Will shares his thoughts on two other new films: Mister America and In the Tall Grass. And Jon briefly discusses his experience playing Borderlands 3 for Playstation 4.
This week’s theme music is “Gemini Man,” which was composed by Lorne Balfe and can be found on the original soundtrack for Gemini Man.

The tech in this movie was easily my favorite aspect, but wow was that a clunky script. Looks like October is shaking up to be a real wash, sadly.
When was the last good Will Smith movie?
I Am Legend, though I’ll vouch for Men in Black III and I liked Concussion a little more than most.
No love for FOCUS?
The fact that you guys would even touch on “Mister America” is a reason why I listen to this show every week. Keep up the great work.
