And apparently you get a kick out of of some of my humor when you hear me espouse it yourselves so I'm glad but I Today's show, as promised, today is all about The Mongoose, a terrific action film starring Liam Neeson that is directed by his longtime stunt double, Mark Vancello, who makes his directorial debut with this film.

Now, Mark has directed second unit on films before, in addition to being stunt coordinator and doing stunts and doubling Liam for... decades but this is his first feature directorial and boy does he knock it out of the park mark is taking audiences on one hell of a ride with the mongoose which is Quite simply, a high-octane action thriller that delivers everything one could want from a Liam Neeson movie and then some.

Spectacular practical stunts, exhilarating car chases, helicopters, explosions, and a Shelby Cobra that deserves its own screen credit are just the beginning.

What sets The Mongoose apart, though, is the emotional story driving the action.

In making his feature directorial debut, Mark proves himself a formidable storyteller who understands that the best action isn't simply about spectacle.

It's about giving that spectacle purpose.

Now, as I said, a longtime stuntman, stunt coordinator, second unit director, and Neeson's former stunt double, Mark brings decades of practical filmmaking experience to the Mongoose.

And that experience is evident in every chase, every stunt, every precisely choreographed piece of vehicular mayhem and helicopter mayhem.

So, yeah, this happened to be a car as the vehicle, but it could be anything, you know, and hopefully...

And, you know, the stunt coordinator, Chris Weir, and his team and second unit, you know, they bring in the best drivers and everything.

Eugene was driving a lot.

Yeah, he was driving.
