It’s throwback time on The Film Board as we take on Denzel Washington’s latest, The Equalizer. We take on all the various social constructs Denzel and director Antoine Fuqua look to equalize, from guns and home improvement to racism and gender inequality. Plus, the film is punctuated with violence and not a little bit of allegory. So join us — Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Pete Wright, and the disembodied voice of Chadd Stoops — as we take on this homage to Edward Woodward and 80’s pop culture greatness.

About the show

The Film Board gathers a rotating panel of film lovers from across The Next Reel Family to dig into a movie that just hit theaters. No tiptoeing around the ending, no "we won't spoil anything." Full spoilers, strong opinions, and the kind of argument you wish you could have with the friends you saw the movie with.
