About this episode

The episode discusses the merits and memorable moments of Lethal Weapon 2, exploring its impact and legacy in the buddy cop genre.

Join us today as we tackle 1989’s Lethal Weapon 2. Is this actually the best Lethal Weapon movie, with peak Riggs–Murtaugh chemistry and Joe Pesci’s Leo Getz pushing the buddy-cop formula to perfection, or does it fly off the rails into 80s action nonsense?
