What happens when filmmakers team up to work on two different movie franchises? In the case of David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, it’s explosive. Zack, Amber, Steve, and Jim buckled up and got down to business watching Atomic Blonde (2017) and John Wick (2014) duke it out.

In 1998, four years after Jeffery Katzenberg left Disney to help Dreamworks create an animation division, they released their first animated film: “Antz”. And wouldn’t ya know it, that same year Pixar released a movie that also featured these insects: "A Bug's Life". This begged the question for the Film Fight crew, which flick measured up, and which one got stomped?

2006 inexplicably produced two star studded films featuring stories about the life and loves of competing magicians. It screamed Film Fight, so Zack, Amber, Steve and Jim pulled some sleight of hand and recorded this episode. If you’re looking for the secret, you won’t find it, because you’re not really looking… you want to be fooled.

In 1989 Driving Miss Daisy took home the Oscar for Best Picture. 29 years later, Greenbook (2018,) a film with similar themes, also won Best Picture. So you know what that means... Yep— the Film Fight crew had to put them head to head. Zack, Amber, Steve and Jim are now in the driver’s seat as they discuss the parallels, pitfalls and peaks of these two Award Winning movies.
Reveals: Zack gets his own theme song, Jim cures racism, Steve watches the wrong movie again, and Amber attempts reason in unreasonable circumstances.
