  • #78 - Judas and the Black Messiah
    Dan and Raul begin this episode discussing some true crime doc-series on Netflix, including The Night Stalker and also The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. Then talks turn to the new feature film (now on HBO Max for 30 days), Judas and the Black Messiah, and the critical praise for the film is deserved. There is much to discuss in terms of the filmmaking here, including the very effective musical score and the astonishing performances, some of which most likely should see some Oscar love when the Academy Awards are handed on April 25th!

  • #77 - Saint Maud / The Head (Season 1, Episode 1)

    Dan saw a new indie horror flick called, Saint Maud, which he highly recommends and is discussed briefly as Raul hadn't seen the film.  Next, Raul and Dan dive into the first episode of the very new HBO Max series, The Head.  Playing on some of the similar tropes of a group of people living in an isolated and remote location, the show rightly calls attention to some of the obvious references and sets out to give us a really solid entry into the genre with plenty of suspense/mystery, and a little body horror!

  • #75 - One Night In Miami

    Dan and Raul are joined by special guest, Hannah, to discuss this highly regarded newly released film on Amazon Prime Video.  The film has great performance and simple yet highly effective direction, and also features a striking portrait of race in America circa 1964 from the black male perspective.  Listen ahead as the DTW crew delves into what makes the film so effective in its balancing of race discussions from each characters specific and unique point of view, but also utilizing the limited space of almost only a single hotel room for nearly the entire film in very effective ways.  This flick is good, watch it now!

  • #74 - WandaVision (Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2)
    Dan and Raul are covering a very very new show that just came out last week, and with good reason! This is a strong entry into the MCU as Marvel has made a very interesting and unique series that (so far) is taking place in a 1950's-style sitcom world featuring characters we know from the Marvel movies, Wanda "Scarlet Witch" Maximoff and Vision. This is sure to change and move in some incredible directions as the show progresses, so join us for a follow-up discussion to cover the entire season in March!

  • #73 - Mr. Mayor (Episode 1) / Coyote (Episode 1)
    Dan and Raul begin the show with quick discussions on a new show that just premiered. Raul talks about "History of Swear Words" (Netflix) first episode, which features Nic Cage and an exploration of the work "fuck". Dan saw the first episode of "The Go-Big Show" (TBS); a talent/skill game show hosted by Bert Kreisher.
    Next, two new shows that premiered last week are discussed including, Coyote (CBS All Access), which Raul really didn't like at all, but Dan found some fun to be had within this genre. Also, the first episode (and 2nd episode a bit) of Mr. Mayor over on NBC, the new show from Tina Fey featuring Ted Danson as LA's new mayor. Both guys enjoyed this and will continue to watch, but with some suspicion that it can really equal the greatness of past Tina Fey works.

  • #72 - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

    Dan and Raul open 2021 with a throw-back episode where George Clooney's directorial debut from 2002 is discussed at length.  Raul has been a big fan of the film for many years and has seen it more then a few times, whereas Dan hasn't seen the movie again since it came out in theaters.  Both enjoyed this rewatch immensely as its a film rich in style (both structurally and visually) and character development.  Listen ahead for a deep dive on all things Clooney and Rockwell, and whether Barris "autobiography" was the truth or an elaborate tale of fiction!
