December 31, 2023 17:05 - 37 minutes - 51 MBLast episode of 2023 has a country twang! Ethan did the audiobook recording for Willie Nelson's new memoir, Energy Follows Thought.

Episode 91 - Stranger Things 4: Volume 1 (2022)
May 31, 2022 11:30 - 28 minutes - 39 MBCan you believe it's been three years since the last season of Stranger Things? So much has changed! We don't have to think about it. But Maya Hawke keeps being a charming and fun part of this show that just keeps padding things out for no real reason other than Netflix needing their numbers to stay way up! They could be screwed by the time Volume 2 drops! That would be wild. We talk Robin's role this season, how they're setting up for a final one, Adam Pally, Soapy Hadid, and more! Keep H...

February 08, 2021 12:30 - 39 minutes - 54.5 MBWelcome to 2021! Bright things are on the horizon, I think? This could be a curse. Anyway, here's our episode on RZA's new film CUT THROAT CITY, in which Ethan plays a corrupt city councilman who loves getting drunk and giving soliloquies to his wife's grave.

Episode 76 - Before Sunrise (1995) with Ali Russo
March 20, 2020 11:30 - 50 minutes - 69.2 MBAll of Hawke Cast has led to this! My original plan was to do one at the end of each season, but that was a long time ago. We have yet to record Sunset and Midnight as of this release, but I wanted to have something special for our THIRD ANNIVERSARY, so here is BEFORE SUNRISE with returning guest Ali Russo. We'll do Sunset and Midnight um... soon? Is this a perfect movie? Basically. Was this the first time I've watched it when I am older than Jesse and Celine? I don't wanna talk about it...

Hawke Cast returns with a brief discussion of a rare Ethan Hawke tv appearance - He makes a cameo reprising his role from THE PURGE (2013) in the tv show, THE PURGE! It is truly a minute long, but it's always fun to talk Purge! Returning guests Michael and Dan of NAMELESS CULTS are ready to talk about James Sandin, a character from a film neither of them have actually seen! Michael loves Anarchy and Election Year though! Happy New Year, and let's keep Hawke-ing the skies even t...

Episode 72 - The Truth (2019) with D Arboleda
November 18, 2019 12:30 - 26 minutes - 36.4 MBToday's episode is about a Hawke movie that, as of the time we are releasing this episode, still does not have an official US release date! We saw this early at the Boston Independent Film Festival's Fall Focus, like how last year we saw First Reformed early. Ain't that neat? Anyway, the film is THE TRUTH directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda. It stars Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche, and Ethan Hawke as the silly American husband! It's like... it's a fine enough movie! Spoilers abound, but if ...

Episode 69 - Staten Island (2009) with Dan R
October 28, 2019 11:30 - 38 minutes - 53.4 MBHappy 69th episode! And what better way to celebrate than with a movie where Ethan literally gets covered in poop! Dan joins us for his very first Hawke to discuss STATEN ISLAND, a film where Vinny D'onofrio plays a silly mobster who essentially becomes the Lorax. The guy who made The Purge directed it? There's an extended homage to Gattaca? Who knows what's going on here, but it's pretty entertaining! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!
