The Rock is on the rock! John, Westy, and Matt break down Michael Bay's 1996 action classic — Connery's swagger, Cage's chemistry quirks, Ed Harris's tortured general, and how a script nobody could crack became one of the 90s' loudest, glossiest, most quotable blockbusters. Big opinions, big laughs, and a lot of green smoke. Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.
