About this episode

This episode dives into the chaos and humor of Lethal Weapon 2, exploring its impact on buddy cop cinema.

🎬🔫 Bury Our Bones With Cinema dives headfirst into the cocaine-smuggling, diplomatic-immunity-having, toilet-exploding chaos of Lethal Weapon 2 — the movie that asked, “What if your best friend was deeply traumatized andterrible at following police procedure?” This week, we’re unpacking all the high-speed chases, unhinged one-liners, South African villains, and property damage that made this sequel bigger, louder, and somehow even more emotionally unstable than the first. Was this peak buddy-cop cinema? Did Leo Getz actually invent podcasting with “Okay, okay, okay”? And how many buildings can two detectives destroy before HR gets involved? Expect deep dives, dumb jokes, explosive hot takes, and the kind of movie obsession usually reserved for conspiracy theorists and people who own replica police badges. Whether you’re a lifelong action junkie or just here for Mel Gibson mullets and Danny Glover sighing in disappointment, this episode delivers the goods. 🎧 Hit play now for: Behind-the-scenes madness 80s action movie insanity Buddy cop breakdowns Wild trivia and movie history Comedy, nostalgia, and cinematic chaos If you love movie podcasts that mix film criticism with…
