#117 - "The Gentlemen" - The Most 'Guy Ritchie' Guy Ritchie Movie of All Time

In this episode, we break down Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen (2019). We analyze the twisted layers of crime, class, and swagger as Matthew McConaughey’s Mickey Pearson tries to sell his marijuana empire while rubbing shoulders with the UK’s high society. We dissect Fletcher’s duplicitous narration from Hugh Grant, the knockout performances, and Ritchie’s knack for sharp dialogue, swift editing, and his signature blend of violence and wit. Join us as we uncover the elegance of The Gentlemen, and what makes this Guy Ritchie film a controversial throwback with modern bite.
