Mel Gibson film \"Payback\", about a man who will stop at seemingly nothing to get back what was stolen from him. We also go deep into the world of the 2006 action thriller (part mystery) Josh Hartnett film \"Lucky Number Slevin\", about warring factions of the city's two largest gangs and the lead character who's mistaken identity gets him wrapped up in more than it looks like he can handle.</p><p><br></p><p>In between, and all throughout, Mitcz &amp; Teddy explore how these movies got on their radar, their enduring legacies, and Teddy goes deep on practically every actor's background and projects.
