About this Episode

With a new James Bond movie coming sometime this year, WDWM had globetrotting, action-heavy spy stories on the brain, which is how we landed on one of Matt's favorites, Steven Soderbergh's Haywire. Starring former MMA fighter Gina Carano - who recently had a standout role as Star Wars merc Cara Dune in The Mandalorian - Haywire isn't just her debut in a leading role, it was a film entirely built around and for her. Carano leads an insanely stacked supporting cast and steals the show from all of them in this down and dirty tale of mercenaries, double crosses, and international intrigue. She also gives plenty of brutal beatdowns in some amazing, no-frill action sequences that let her show off what made her a star in the ring and why she was a star in the making on screen.
