Welcome to Season 3 of Snubs & Dubs! This season we are covering the 74th Academy Awards, featuring the films of 2001.For Episode 14, we are talking about Antoine Fuqua's Training Day. Training Day is a police drama about a veteran officer (Denzel Washington) who escorts a rookie (Ethan Hawke) on his first day with the LAPD's tough inner-city narcotics unit. "Training Day" is a blistering action drama that asks the audience to decide what is necessary, what is heroic and what crosses the line in the harrowing gray zone of fighting urban crime. Does law-abiding law enforcement come at the expense of justice and public safety? If so, do we demand safe streets at any cost?TIMECODES:00:25 - Intro01:51 - Other Watching: Hocus Pocus, Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, An American Werewolf in London10:46 - Training Day Intro17:19 - The Plot20:16 - Discussion 26:36 - Reviews, Box Office + Rankings33:43 - Fun Letterboxd Reviews35:30 - Academy Awards37:26 - Interesting Facts41:05 - Final Thoughts + Ep. 15 PreviewPlease leave a five-star review and follow us on the social platforms below!
