Ep. 17: Warriors...Come Out to Pod

Ethan and Devin are joined by Megan Tusler (@tuslersaurus) as we watch Walter Hill's The Warriors (1979). We discuss the stagnation and decay of 70s New York, the foreclosed glimpse of revolution, and why when you're forming a gang you should aim for a better theme than "roller skates and overalls."Be sure to check out Megan's amazing literature podcast, Better Read than Dead, which you can follow @betterreadpod.follow the pod on twitter at @youretallpod or email us at youretallpod@gmail.com.

Ep. 16: Better Dead than Red Dawn

To celebrate their new exclusive deal with Neil Young Archives dot Com, Ethan and Devin watch John Milius's Red Dawn (1984).

Ep. 14: It’s a Wonderful Subprime Mortgage

In celebration of the classic American holiday of Christmas, Ethan and Devin watch It's a Wonderful Life (1946). We dig into what exactly this film is trying to say about capitalism, considering the necessity of fictional George "ah shucks" Baileys working in tandem with divine intervention in order to save us from the inevitability of capitalist exploitation. Also we warn about the dangers of jazz, reminisce about Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, and fail to - at any point - pronounce "Auld Lang Syne" correctly.
