Episode Training Day (2001) | Ep. 66 - Part 1

0:00 1:10:46

Denzel Washington swaggers through the streets of LA in this dark, morally complex thriller. Luke, Matt, and Westy ride shotgun with Alonzo Harris to begin the story (King Kong ain't got nothing on that performance).

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Antoine Fuqua, the cast, and the second act — unpacking the intense production, the gritty LA backdrop, and why Fuqua insisted on shooting in some of the city's most volatile areas.

Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
