This week on Exploding Cars, Singing Nuns and Quipping Killers:


Greg and Joe tackle 2017's The Hitman's Bodyguard, a movie that asks the age-old question: What if Deadpool and Nick Fury had to road trip together while everyone tried to kill them?


Ryan Reynolds plays Michael Bryce, a once-elite bodyguard whose life has fallen apart, and Samuel L. Jackson is Darius Kincaid, a legendary hitman who needs to testify at The Hague. The twist? They hate each other. The bigger twist? They have to work together to survive.


Directed by Patrick Hughes (who clearly loves explosions and banter in equal measure), this movie delivers high-octane action sequences, absurd comic timing, and Salma Hayek absolutely stealing every scene she's in as Kincaid's imprisoned wife who might be more dangerous than both of them combined.


Is it ridiculous? Absolutely.

Is it self-aware? Painfully so.

Does it feature Samuel L. Jacks on singing \"I Will Always Love You\" while driving a boat through Amsterdam? You're darn right it does.


Greg and Joe buckle up, check their routes, and discover that sometimes the best protection is a good offense (and a lot of swearing).


As with every episode, this is the conversation that needed to happen about this movie. Also: Drinking Games, Important Questions, Joe's Back of the Box, and more.
