NIACW 661 The Long Good Friday Brothers J and Drew discuss the 1980 film “The Long Good Friday” with Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan.

NIACW 659 Caddo Lake 03/08/2026

NIACW 659 Caddo Lake Brothers Drew and Eric talk about the 2024 movie “Caddo Lake,” which is better watched with very little information known ahead of time. They liked it quite a bit. Conversation drifts from “Annihilation” to “24” to “Lost” to “Six Feet Under” to James Elroy. Eric found it helpful that he had watched “The Deer Hunter” earlier in the day for the first time and he found that it was exceedingly boring. Caddo Lake had much more going on.

NIACW 653 Materialists 01/25/2026

NIACW 653 Materialists Brothers J and Drew discuss 2025’s Materialists.
