M TOO OLD FOR THIS S***!!! Lethal Weapon Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects

Vecna: The Mind Slayer tee by @G9DESIGN & Dr. Stranger Things tee by @SASAMIIKU — perfect for hardcore fans & collectors alike! With Christmas around the corner, John & Aaron take on an Action / Christmas CLASSIC giving their Lethal Weapon Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! John Humphrey & Aaron Alexander diving into the buddy-cop classic that redefined action cinema and launched one of the most iconic duos in movie history. Directed by Richard Donner (Superman, The Goonies) and written by Shane Black (The Nice Guys, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), the film stars Mel Gibson (Braveheart, Mad Max) as Martin Riggs, an unpredictable, grief-stricken LAPD cop on the edge, and Danny Glover (The Color Purple, Predator 2) as Roger Murtaugh, a seasoned detective whose favorite phrase is “I’m too old for this…” Their partnership begins as pure chaos — but quickly becomes one of the most legendary pairings in action-comedy history. John & Aaron break down all the greatest moments: Riggs’ death-defying sniper takedown, the wild Christmas tree lot shootout, Murtaugh’s hostage bathtub scene, Riggs’ emotional unraveling, the brutal lawn-sprinkler fistfight finale, and the film’s surprising emotional core — the bond that forms between two men who desperately need someone to believe in. They explore how Lethal Weapon blends hard-edged action, sharp humor, and heartfelt character work to create a blueprint that influenced every buddy-cop movie for decades.
