The gates of Megalopo-Month are open! Zach and Austin are guestless this week as we discuss Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited passion project, Megalopolis. Did we think it was FFC's Magnum Opolis, or was it just MegaSLOPPYlis? We also get a call-in about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and we gush over The Substance!

We can't stop talking about animals! After just finishing our 'Creature Double Feature' series on Patreon covering animal films we decided to do another on the main feed. This time we're talking horses! We brought an expert on the subject, Zach's mom, Donna Zweifler, to talk about the 2003 film 'Seabiscuit' about an underdog horse that inspired America during the Great Depression. We also discuss the 2015 documentary 'Harry & Snowman', another true inspirational horse tale. Donna dishes on her love of horses, her own horse history, and also a shocking revelation about rabbits!

Listen to the entire Creature Double Feature series!

Hey y’all! We’ve got a special treat for you—a bonus episode to wrap up our summer series on Lonesome Dove. Zach, Austin, and Glen sit down with Sonny Carl Davis, the man behind Burt Borum in the series. Sonny spent a good eight weeks out there on set with the cattle drive, and boy, does he have some tales to tell! We were all in stitches hearing his stories.

Thanks for ridin' along with us on this journey through Lonesome Dove. Both parts of our series are now up and ready, so if you haven’t moseyed on over to listen yet, go check ‘em out!

It’s been quite a party! Our journey through Lonesome Dove reaches the end of the trail as we break down every scene from Episode 3: The Plains and Episode 4: Return. We discuss the power of Anjelica Huston’s portrayal of Clara, Call’s vision of the West, and Gus' heartbreaking coffin flop.

This week, the family hits the trail to discuss the TV Mini-Series Lonesome Dove. In this first of a two-part series, Austin rounds up his brother Drew, their Pa Glen, and cousin Zach to gather 'round and chat about the first two episodes. They rustle up stories of Glen's upbringing as a Texan, draw comparisons to Kevin Costner's film Horizon, and talk about how Augustus McCrae is the original BRAT of the Old West.
