Denzel Washington might not be the best choice to protect your child - but if you need someone to avenge your child's alleged death, he's definitely your guy.

MAN ON FIRE divided critics and audiences, as told by its Tomatometer score (38%) versus its Popcornmeter score (84%). If you're a fan of the third Equalizer movie, you might enjoy the fact that this is where Denzel and Dakota Fanning teamed-up for the first time. Or maybe you'll just enjoy Denzel on a warpath south of the border.

We tackled MAN ON FIRE on the latest episode of the podcast, and on this video warm-up we'll give you some extra Rotten Tomatoes quotes, some extra trivia, we'll talk about the trailer, and, of course, we'll have The Josh Gad Minute - all expertly put together by @nerd_scum .
