<description>&lt;p&gt;In Episode 5 of Asteria Echoes, host Atanaria dissects Prime Video&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;The Pickup,&amp;quot; a lackluster buddy action comedy starring Eddie Murphy as a veteran armored truck driver and Pete Davidson as his bumbling rookie partner. Hijacked by Keke Palmer&amp;#39;s scheming heist mastermind for a $60 million casino score, the film promises thrills but delivers stale chases, wasted cameos (including Marshawn Lynch and Roman Reigns), and zero laughs—despite Murphy&amp;#39;s recent successes like Dolemite Is My Name. Tune in for our breakdown of the script&amp;#39;s napkin-level quality, mismatched genres, and why this 94-minute dud earns a dismal 3.5/10. Is this the worst movie of this year? We discuss!&lt;/p&gt;
