Buckle up for a high-octane episode of The Commentary Booth. This week, host Jamie Apps is joined by colour commentator Corrina Mabey to peel out and review the new action-thriller Eenie Meanie, streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu.
Starring Samara Weaving (not Margot Robbie!), the film follows Edie, a reformed teenage getaway driver dragged back into her unsavoury past to save her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend. Think Baby Driver meets Bonnie and Clyde with a toxic twist.
Jamie and Corrina break down the film's thrilling car chases, surprising emotional depth, and Samara Weaving's fantastic shift from Scream Queen to action hero. They discuss the gritty practicality of the stunts, the hilarious comedy beats (including a scene-stealing Tesla gag), and the film's shocking third-act twist you won't see coming.
Highlights Breakdown:
The fantastic, practical car chase choreography that outshines modern Fast & Furious
Samara Weaving's stellar performance and her move from horror to dramatic action
The complex, toxic relationship at the heart of the film and its surprising parallels to the crime boss subplot
The standout comedy moments, including a scene with Marshawn Lynch that had us in stitches
The surprisingly wholesome ending and why the film's emotional core makes it more than just a heist movie.
Is Eenie Meanie a solid streaming gem or just another forgettable car flick?
