Channing Tatum in 'Magic Mike XXL'

This week, Gavia and Morgan revisit a modern classic, "Magic Mike XXL," starring Channing Tatum as the titular Mike, Joe Manganiello and Matt Bomer as his stripper pals, Jada Pinkett Smith as an old flame, and more. Topics discussed include the film's radically chill depiction of masculinity, Tatum's charismatic performance and career, and the forthcoming sequel, in production now.
