2 Fast 2 Forever #399 – Knockaround Guys (2001)
Brian Rodriguez returns to the podcast to talk about Knockaround Guys — and to tell the backstory behind one of our podcast network’s great untold sagas. (This time, he’s in front of the paywall — and has to bite his tongue accordingly.) We talk about how Knockaround Guys exists within a very specific era of mobsters, mob movies, and public fascination. Brian debuts a new segment — “the Barry Pepper Moment” — before we talk about Vin Diesel’s Multi-Facial and our frustrations by the tropes in this film. We ask: who, exactly, are the knockaround guys in this movie?
