This week, it's Hart's War, the (surprisingly dense) third entry in this de facto trilogy of early, forgotten Collin Farrell-starring flops. We talk the odd cultural space of prisoners of war in film, Hollywood's love of interrogating racism via nice white people learning that inequality exists, and Bruce Willis' absolutely undeniable run around the turn of the century, Cole digs into why Terrence Howard didn't come back for Iron Man 2. Connor inaugurates a new feature celebrating the thespians of New Jersey.

This week, we take a look at American Outlaws, a forgotten attempt at a 21st century Young Guns in which Colin stars as a twink-ish Jesse James. Full disclosure: this movie sucks and is almost completely devoid of substance so we mostly just talk about other stuff. Connor comes to the defense of Casino Royale. Cole forgets about the existence of Dances With Wolves.

The boys return to talk Colin's first leading role, the visual stylings of Joel Schumacher, the complicated legacy of the Vietnam War on film, and a surprising Independent Spirit Awards nomination: it's 2000's Tigerland! This movie bombed so hard you have no idea but it's secretly pretty good. Cole fantasizes about seeing the behind the scenes rehearsal footage from Mother. Connor goes long on the strange and uneven career of Michael Shannon.

On our inaugural episode we introduce the podcast, explain our rational for only covering the 21st century, and then break into a freewheeling discussion about the 2000 crime comedy Ordinary Decent Criminal. Trust us, nobody is less excited that we're starting things off with a Kevin Spacey vehicle but that's just how it worked out. Connor places this film in the lineage of Irish TV movies of the 1980s and the broader Irish New Wave. Cole says a bunch of cancelable things because he's dumb that he ends up cutting out of the episode.
