Ep534: The Dukes of ARKANSAS

Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast travels down South with Don Shanahan of Every Movie Has a Lesson for a deep-fried look at Arkansas! Co-writer/director/star Clark Duke's off-beat thriller finds two young drug runners plotting to clean up a bloody mess before the shadowy head of their operation catches on.

The film evokes Elmore Leonard and The Coen Brothers, but has its own unique voice that alternates between warbly and refreshingly operatic. Ian and Don talk the good, the bad, and the nitpicky--and take a couple of fun detours to praise Vince Vaughn's film-stealing performance.

Arkansas is now available On Demand and via good ol' fashioned physical media--and you'll definitely want to watch it before listening to this spoilerific episode!

Episode 534 knows where the bodies are buried!
