Hawke Cast

Howdy, folks! It's our first 2019 Ethan film discussion, THE KID directed by longtime Hawke-friend, Vincent D'Onofrio! It a western about Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan, perfectly cast) and his longtime nemesis Sheriff Pat Garrett (Mr. Hawke). It's pretty good!

Join us 'round the campfire for some tales of fake beards, director cameos, male shouting, and streaming content trends.

And as always, keep Hawke-ing the skies!

What's so bad about drone bombing? Besides, well, everything about it. Ethan is trying to figure that out, while also trying to prevent the absolute decay of his immortal soul, in the 2014 film Good Kill.

Zack Bond returns to discuss this Andrew Niccol-directed film about a drone pilot whose conscience is awakened after he kills civilians in Afghanistan from a box in Las Vegas. The film is available on Netflix and is worth checking out, even if you already know drone bombing should be a war crime. January Jones, Zoe Kravitz, and Bruce Greenwood costar.

The poems read at the top of the program, 'War with Computers' and 'Twelve Hour Shifts' are from Reaper (2017) by Jill McDonough.

Wait, where are Corey and Kyle? They're not here. They don't live in New York. They can't just go to Broadway shows all the time! Thank goodness friends of pod, Ben Ferber and Alison Schilling, are on call to break down Ethan Hawke's new play True West! That's right, Ben and Alison are hosting their very own Hawke Cast episode, and things are gonna get a little crazy!

We've got segments galore, fancy sound effects, breakdowns of how theatrical copyright works, and even a special theme song just for this episode! You won't wanna miss this.

And always keep Hawke-ing the skies.

Third time's the Tom? *I am immediately strangled by my brother Paul Dano*

For our final exploration of True West, we called up thespian Tom Phelan for his take on the proceedings. We talk Ethan's gut, toast, toasters, boyfights, Neil Gaiman possibly scamming some people, and much much more. This show sounds like a nice night out. Imagine if Ethan gets another Tony nom for being a gross monster on stage? That'd be fun.

Keep Hawke-ing the skies, and be sure to follow us on Twitter!

Did you know Ethan Hawke is on Broadway *right now*? We did, but we really didn't feel like shelling out the money for tickets. We've already done a lot for this guy, ya know?

That's why we got four SPECIAL NEW YORK CORRESPONDENTS (but only three episodes) to tell us all about True West, in which Ethan stars as a real slimeball with Paul Dano as his brother!

First up is quadruple threat (dancer/actor/writer/podcaster) Rebecca Bulnes, host of the delightful podcast Classroom Crush! She gets into Ethan's gut acting, motion on stage, and Jeremy Strong's feet, somehow! You'll love it.

Enjoy our chat, and keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Welcome back to Hawke Cast! This is a new era for the pod, because Ethan Hawke himself found out we exist. Good news though, he loves us. Come on the show! It'll be fun!

Anyway, our first episode of 2019 is CYMBELINE with returning friend of the podcast, Shannon Keane! This film has the same director as Hamlet (2002), but is way more fun. Join us as we discuss Shakespeare adaptations, platonic bro squeezes, iPads on skateboards, and Dakota Johnson's outfits.

And from now until the end, keep Hawke-ing the skies.

Also follow our Twitter.

Welcome back, everyone! Hope you had a restful break. We... definitely did........

New episodes start February 4th!

Let's keep Hawke-ing the skies... until the very end.

Yes hello! For the final Hawke Cast of 2018, we got to do something very special. Here we have an interview with Vulture's own Hunter Harris, a wonderful writer and Ethan Hawke enthusiast.

Hunter and I came together to discuss Ethan's stellar 2018, especially his soon-to-be-Oscar-nominated performance in First Reformed. We also talk about the Before Trilogy, Ethan's remarkable ability to give thoughtful interviews, Bradley Cooper's seeming lack of enthusiasm, and how Vice sucks. Let's just say, if Ethan doesn't get a Best Actor nomination, the Academy will be hearing from Harris.

Thanks for listening to all 22 episodes this year. We will return in January after a short break.

Have a happy new year, and as always, keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Do you like comedy? Me neither, good thing this movie isn't funny and is instead a dark character study based on a play!

Ali Russo and Todd Stark join us to discuss The Jimmy Show, directed by and starring Frank Whaley. Ethan plays his work friend who's always stoned. We talk self-direction, New Jersey, the nature of adaptation, and the American Dad episode "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven", which we rewatched immediately after recording.

Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Today's film, GETAWAY, is actually a Christmas movie, which doesn't entirely fit with the month of November. Also, we recorded this in August. However, this film is unbelievably perplexing, so this episode quickly became our CONSPIRACIES SPECIAL.

Conspiracies addressed with the help of special guest Dan Vruno:

• Was this film a front for the mob?
• Did Ethan Hawke inspire Justin Bieber to grow a beard?
• Why is Selena Gomez the most followed person on Instagram?
• Why did Ethan Hawke take the role of BRETT MAGNA?
• What is Tonight at Noon, and why was it filmed in 2005 to never be released?

And more! Enjoy this episode about one of Ethan's worst movies, and please keep Hawke-ing the skies!
