BULLET TRAIN MOVIE REVIEW
Tim: The other actor I wanted more of was definitely Zazie Beetz…
Leigh: No!
Tim: Really?
Leigh: Oh, sorry. That was a very, very visceral reaction [laughs].
Tim: Can we please talk about this?
Leigh: I love Zazie Beetz. Really love her. Hated her Bullet Train character.
Tim: Really?
Leigh: Yep. Did not like her character. What was the point of every sentence coming out of her mouth being punctuated by “bitch”? “Bitch, bitch. Gonna kill you, bitch.” Did you not notice that? Then at the end, they threw in three in a row just to make a point. And I figured, okay, they're making fun of something here…
Tim: But it was lost on you? I guess it was lost on me, too.
Leigh: It didn't feel weird to you?
Tim: No. I don't even… this is so weird. We only saw this movie a couple of days ago. I don't really remember her saying bitch 500 times.
Leigh: She hardly had any lines, and most of them were “bitch”.
Tim: Well, far out.
