This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm joined by Johnnie Wolfenstein of Trick or Treat Radio for a double-dose of Robert Mitchum craziness with 1955's The Night of the Hunter and 1962's Cape Fear. Caution: I may have sung some lines from the HMS Pinafore on this episode. You have been warned.

This is it folks. Episode 350 of the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast and the last episode of 2016. As is a TWoRP tradition, I have the Cancer Man in the house to record a drunken commentary. This year's film? 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone. Listen in horror as we get wasted watching children's entertainment!

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm joined by my buddy Bryan of The Last Horrorcast and Geek Nerdery for a truly Mannly double-feature of Michael Mann movies. We're discussing how the best laid plans of professionals and psychopaths so often go awry with 1981's Thief and 2004's Collateral.
