@JackalsIII Great picks! ‘74, ‘75, ‘76 is where I lose most people. Nick just got to witness me trash Sly’s boxing in real time (we watched Rocky III this weekend). His fighting “style” is hilarious.

Bakula is great in that movie! “He is a tax attorney.” “And he’s an anesthesiologist.”

Our latest director episode! This time on the singular Jim Jarmusch.

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Thank you so much for these comments! We got such a kick out of reading them.

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast It’s WILD. 90 minutes, all hardcore conspiracy. I love it. Bought the DVD since it isn’t on BR ha!

@nicdostal @JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Though, the strangest one to film was “Descent”. The second we walked into that hotel room, we kinda flinched like there was something there. It was very very odd, and felt very real.

Nick and I will do a new commentary for the movie soon!

@nicdostal @JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast What’s funny is that I never directed him to “Act like me.” We never talked about my mannerisms, speech pattern, or temper. But he is *exactly* like me. The “time heals all wounds” line in “Rebirth” is me. That’s how I talk and argue. It’s shocking.

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Thanks so much buddy, you’re the best. I was terrified to record this, but it was very cathartic. Your support is one of the main reasons I had the confidence to say all this.

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Can’t tell you how much we LOVE your reactions to the episodes. That “Night So Long” conversation was hilarious. “Are we saying the same thing…”

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Haha exactly! And a Pulp comm would be fantastic, but my god I’d have so much to say. But I’m telling you… I think the theory holds.

[What Are You Watching? @WAYW_Podcast]

If you haven’t seen SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, we promise it's not the movie you think it’s going to be.

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast I really did love this, we’re still talking about it around the house! That F bomb he said to her was so funny/shocking.

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast I wanted to edit that sentence so badly haha! “Free ride” after you’ve paid makes no sense. Oh well, I try. I try.

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Exactly!! Loomis’ everywhere.

[What Are You Watching? @WAYW_Podcast]

Alex is watching John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN once a week for all of 2025. And that isn't even the craziest shit that's said in this pod.

@ClaudiusRey @WAYW_Podcast Justice for Ralph! If you go to the verrryyyyy end of the episode, you'll hear me call myself out on getting that wrong. Don't drink and pod, kids.

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Agreed. I too think Culkin will sweep, I just don’t know why. I don’t know why this happens seemingly every year, with no explanation. A decent performance sweeps every award, why? Yura is better than the other four combined but oh well.

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Good for a few hours of fun. Would love to see Bateman go full psycho for a movie. He already has the last name…

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @nicdostal @WAYW_Podcast She’s a very good sport for putting up with our recs. Mine wouldn’t let me show her 85% of the movies we recommend. Maybe 95%. Maybe 99%.

[Alex Withrow @shiftingPersona]

@JackalsIII @WAYW_Podcast Yeah that and Shame are probably the movies I wrote about most. Traffic feels primed for a commentary, even though it’s never streaming for free. But this definitely gave me the push to do one!
