It’s the latest entry from the DC theatrical cinematic universe. It’s SUICIDE SQUAD.It isn’t very good.But people seem to have a problem with people thinking it isn’t very good.We feel like we make a compelling case, and we certainly don’t blame anyone who disagrees with us.

It was 2001. Shortly after the attacks on 9/11. Directed by Michael Mann and starring the likes of Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, John Voight, Mario Van Peebles, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Joe Morton; the film ALI is released to critical acclaim and earning two Oscar nominations in short order. It would be easy to tell […]
Another one from the year-one vaults. In this never-before-heard “lost” episode, the guys in the Nighthawks diner bent their early format a bit. Discussing two movies simultaneously, the pair watched the classic street gang genre opus THE WARRIORS and also watched the documentary RUBBLE KINGS about the very real world that inspired THE WARRIORS. The […]
Well ladies and gentlemen, I can’t speak for Matt, but when we started this podcast one year ago, I wasn’t sure what it would become. I didn’t know if it would be just us talking to the ether, finding an audience exclusively among our friends and parents, or if it would actually be (what we […]

The origins you hear about 4/20, the official/unofficial stoner holiday, are about as varied as the people you ask. Some people are very observant and will be partaking in the cash crop of Colorado during April 20th, others may […]
It’s a real slobber-knocker as the champion of the sun clashes against the Dark Knight.
Let’s get down to brass tacks. We’re talking about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, for this episode of the Nighthawks Podcast. This deceptively deep movie is from film auteur and former Python, Terry Gilliam, and stars Johnny Depp as the enigmatic Dr. Hunter S. Thompson- er… Raoul Duke. Hunter S. Thompson’s book is said […]
A beloved and pivotal voice in modern science fiction is said to have been a founding father of Cyberpunk and for coining the term “Cyberspace.” William Gibson has already left an indelible mark on literature, but is yet to be a cross-over success in film. We examine one failed attempt in 1995’s JOHNNY MNEMONIC as […]
