Deeply badly waiting for "The Bricklayer VS The Beekeeper".

Does it have to start with B or could it be any mundane job?

The Brakeman is probably too easy. The Baker. The Bellhop. The Bartender. The Bus Driver. The Ballerina.

Wow, I think I've made the Oceans 11 of B-jobs, but oh, no B-jobs, let's keep it pg-13. I think I'll lie down now.

Dammit.
Another missed opportunity to cast Nina Dobrev and Emmanuelle Chriqui in the same movie, to prove once and for all that they are two different people.
(Or are they? dun-dun-dunnn)

LiteraryHero there’s already a movie called The Baker, with Ron Perlman as the mobster turned baker “forced back into it.”

We don't see much of it in the film, but it turns out John Wick is indeed a bookbinder.

Obviously, that's where The Baker comes in.

Ah, I see I've been beaten to this joke.

Ballerina is an upcoming American action thriller film. It is the first spin-off of the John Wick franchise.
