  • Waypoint After Dark 04 - Austin’s Final Ride
    Here it is! Austin did one final podcast with Waypoint before riding off into the sunset for greener pastures. Rob, Patrick, and Cado join him in reminiscing over the last five years, the ways we’ve changed as people, and the ways the industry has changed (and stayed the same) around us. Also Rob has got a story to tell about a tailor, a wedding, and a pair of slacks.

  • WPNMP - Draft Day
    It’s football season, so what better way to mark the occasion than watching … an NFL propaganda film? Rob and Patrick are joined by IGN’s Kat Bailey to discus Draft Day, an officially approved NFL movie that might actually work better as accidental satire than advertisement, even if there's a ton of product placement.

  • Waypoint’s New Movie Podcast - No Sudden Move
    Welcome back, Waypoint + subscribers, to the movies. It’s with your generous support that we’re able to return to the world of TV and Film just as we’re slowly returning to watching movies in actual theaters. Up first however is No Sudden Move, an HBO Max release from director Steven Soderbergh, who is popularly known for his modern remake of Ocean’s 11. His new film was partially marketed as a heist film, but quickly reveals itself to be a dark comedy more interested in how race, gender, and wealth intersect more broadly than the particulars of one heist gone wrong. Join Rob, Austin, Patrick, and Cado as they dig deep into what worked, what fell flat, and why the extreme wide angle lenses kinda make sense.
