The Big Hit May 08, 2026

Mark Wahlberg, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Christina Applegate star in the 1998 action-comedy The Big Hit—a movie that tries to make a farce out of kidnapping and murder while giving off vibes of a rejected Mountain Dew commercial. Paul, June, and Jason analyze Marky Mark breakdancing mid-gun fight, the locker room masturbation convo, the video store clerk, if Keiko was in high school or college, the "romantic" kosher dinner cooking scene, and so much more. Plus, a discussion about a bathroom with two doors leads to a rare June traumatic childhood story.
