  • The Darjeeling Unstoppable
    Jan 2 2026

    The Darjeeling Limited (2007) vs. Unstoppable (2010)


    Today we tackle one of our countries oldest forms of transportation. The category is "Train Movies" and we bring you two very different locomotive based films. The Darjeeling Limited is a family drama from auteur filmmaker Wes Anderson. A somewhat "spiritual" journey that leads to more goofs than breakthroughs for Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman. We also discuss Unstoppable. A non stop (pun intended) action thriller featuring Denzel Washington as a conductor having a monumentally bad day at work. With Tony Scott directing in his signature full throttle style we found ourselves at odds regarding the overall quality of the filmmaking. So sit down in the quiet car, pour some sweet lime, and find out if you have what it takes to stop this speeding engine of an episode. Will either film score 8 or more stars and make the Greatest Films of The 21st Century List? Remember to Rate, Review, and Follow the show!
