*This episode was recorded on July 9, 2023* THE STRIKE IS OVER!!! Now that we're not scabbing, we'd like to take you on a vague and existential trip to the land of freeways, hitchhikers, and oodles of banks to rob. With the Lone Star State constantly being the center of news stories, we decided to dive into the cinematic stories that portray Graham's homeland. What does the American psyche say about this land that's bigger than most European countries? Hear us talk about titles like: No Country for Old Men, Bernie, Paris Texas, Vengeance, Office Space, Red Rocket, Friday Night Lights, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and more!

We've come full circle and are talking about the Oscars once again! If you don't have anyone to talk awards season with or feel completely out of the loop, this is the episode for you! We discuss the merits of bullying children on the internet, the movies that got snubbed by the academy, Michelle Williams' hair, who Andrea Riseborough is, and Amber's sudden popularity. We also, of course, give out our predictions for this year's ceremony. Embrace the chaos and take a listen!
