Jason Statham Month: Crank (2006) Holy Sh*t!

Wow, wow, WOW! We continue Jason Statham month with a truly insane film from the directing duo Neveldine/Taylor. 2006’s Crank tells the story of a man who was poisoned and quickly needs to get revenge . . . and find an antidote if there’s time left over. In this episode, we discuss where Crank falls in Statham’s filmography, the innovative filmmaking used to make it, and lovingly question the plausibility of just about every scene. The show, like the film, is a wild ride.
