It’s a busy episode this week! Alex brings up some recent trailers and we break them down, and the trailer for Baywatch evolves into a Bonus Topic: International Appeal, then that blends into why they must use big name actors, and then that flows into Tim’s talk about casting and how they never match the nationalities (and why that’s okay), and Jamie devotes his love to a few chains.
