Ben would like to dedicate this episode to the unknown idiots out there, this one is for you. This week the guys cover the final Jason Statham Transporter movie.

Can the second Transporter movie get any more ridiculous than the first? Listen to find out. This week the guys cover Transporter 2, we expand our discussion from last week, still discussing Jason Statham, more on Detective Tarconi, Lolas crazy character, some off topic tangents, bonkers scenes, and Adam comes back with more trivia this time around. Tune in for this wild episode!
This week the guys start Diell’s beloved Transporter franchise. The love for Jason Statham in this episode is unanimous, unlike the divided opinions the guys have on the movie. We discuss our favourite scenes, the impracticalities, ridiculous Hollywood exaggerations, Jason’s Olympic past and current extraordinary skills, and Adam even gets stumped with the lack of trivia on this movie! Join us on this fun ride.
