You gotta give me one thing, I'm a scary judge of Podcasts. Dave starts 2025 off with taking 2003's The Recruit off the shelf. Dave remembers seeing this movie a number of times over the last 20 years and always enjoyed the performances and the twisting plot. While the payoff may have softened over the years, Dave still finds it isn't cheap and unearned. Phil ignored this movie when it came out and hasn't thought of it since, until now. He really enjoyed the first half of the movie at The Farm and enjoyed the manipulation of the characters. He wasn't surprised by any of the twists along the way but was a willing participant to the end. While it kind of falls apart to different trope in the last act, still an enjoyable watch.
