WHAT A FANTASTICALLY CHARMING AND HILARIOUS THROWBACK! CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE Movie Reaction & Review with John Humphrey & Jon Maturan! Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart helped redefine the modern action-comedy era with this hilarious buddy-cop spy comedy that became a massive streaming favorite years after release. From outrageous CIA action sequences and high school reunion chaos to The Rock playing against type as an awkward super-spy opposite Kevin Hart’s nonstop comedic panic, Central Intelligence remains one of the most rewatchable comedy movies of the 2010s.

We break down the incredible performances from the stellar cast, including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Fast & Furious, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) as the sweet, unicorn-loving, hyper-lethal CIA operative Bob Stone / Robbie Weird, and Kevin Hart (Ride Along, Night School) as the formerly peak-popular high school athlete turned ordinary accountant Calvin "The Golden Jet" Joyner. We also highlight the brilliant cameo appearances and supporting players, featuring Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Need for Speed) as Bob's rogue ex-partner Phil, Amy Ryan (The Office, Gone Baby Gone) as the stern CIA Agent Harris, Jason Bateman (Ozark, Arrested Development) as the cruel adult bully Trevor Olsen, and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids, Spy) as high school sweetheart Darla McGuckian. Our hosts react to all the memorable gags, ridiculous physical comedy beats, and surprisingly heartfelt elements that make this movie stand the test of time. We break down the painful 1996 high school gym flashback sequence, the explosive bar fight where Bob goes full Jason Bourne in jean shorts, and the hilarious corporate office escape involving an improv hostage situation with a banana. We also break down the chaotic underground parking garage standoff featuring an accidental British rooster bird call, the meta elevator flashback sequences, and the wild high school reunion climax where Bob finally conquers his past bullies. From the legendary end-credits blooper reel that had us reminiscing about Rush Hour 2 to the fantastic on-screen chemistry, this movie gives us a blast of nostalgic entertainment to unpack. #Reaction #TheRock #Review #CentralIntelligence #CentralIntelligenceReaction #CentralIntelligenceReview #ReelRejects #DwayneJohnson #KevinHart #AaronPaul #JasonBateman #MelissaMcCarthy #BuddyComedy #WatchAlong #FirstTimeWatching #ComedyGold #Bloopers #nostalgia 00:00 Checking in 1:35 Central Intelligence Reaction 36:00 Huel Ad 37:50 Central Intelligence Reaction 1:15:06 Central Intelligence Review RIDE ALONG MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/WabpqkhUmQM A HAUNTED HOUSE REACTION: https://youtu.be/0rvAAg7e-38 Follow *Jon Maturan* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonmaturan/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8

In the beginning when Kevin said Dwayne looked like Hercules, its funny because The Rock actually did play Hercules in a movie. It was fun.

When Dwayne did roles like this earlier on, he hot clowned for it. A lot of fans just wanted him to be "The Next Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Hero". Now people cry about him doing "the same roles" over and over...
