This is the girl. It's a Dan Hedaya Double Feature this week, with Arco taking on David Lynch's avowed feature-length masterpiece, 2001's Mulholland Drive, and Jason watching great talent--William Goldman! Jodie Foster! Mel Gibson!--cash sizable checks in 1994's Maverick. https://youtu.be/OiCfHW3N3vo (Twin Perfect's YouTube essay on Mulholland Drive.) https://linktr.ee/moviechallengepodcast (Connect with Movie Challenge Accepted.)

After a brief hiatus, we're back with two movies that define this podcast. Jason was delighted by the third Keanu/Stahelski shoot 'em up, John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum [28:41], while Arco let himself be lost in the quiet beauty of Ryuske Hamaguchi's Best Picture-nominated Drive My Car [02:59]. https://linktr.ee/moviechallengepodcast (Connect with Movie Challenge Accepted.)

For the pod's first ever fan challenge, Jason watched the martial arts powerhouse that is Gareth Evans' The Raid 2 [02:12], while Arco went back to 1977, with William Friedkin's lost classic, Sorcerer [35:15]. You're gonna need a tougher truck. NOTE--Sorcerer was Friedkin's SEVENTH feature film as director, not his third or fourth. Mea culpa.

Until last night, Arco had never watched the Academy Awards in full. He'll never forget his first. The boys dive into the winners, losers, whether the Oscars are relevant, and That Which Can't Be Ignored. All on a special, emergency podcast.

In the most contentious episode yet, Jason had problems with the cultural statements he believed Matthew Vaughn's first Kingsman movie tried to make, while Arco threw up an eyeball during his second ride on the RefnCoaster, 2016's The Neon Demon. A true challenge, all around. If you enjoy the pod, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It's a small gesture that will help us grow.
