Episode 39.2: I am always looking for excuses to talk about how much and why I love The Raid.

Footage from:
The Raid (Gareth Evans, 2011)
Headshot (The Mo Brothers, 2016)
The Night Comes for Us (Timo Tjahjanto, 2018)
The Raid 2: Berandal (Gareth Evans, 2014)
John Wick (Chad Stahelski, 2014)

Technically there are spoilers for all of those movies because most of the footage comes from fairly late in each (four from their respective final fights), but also there's not enough of any of these fights, most of which are very long, so... I don't feel bad. I'm sorry if you think that I should. Also: I would have used more footage from TNCfU, but this is basically everything that isn't drenched in blood, and I'd like this video to not be age-gated thx. It was hard enough finding posters for Timo Tjahjanto movies that weren't R-rated on their own.
