There's gold up in them hills! And Ethan's got it in a big ol' bag! We discuss Ethan's latest film THE WEIGHT, a 1933-set wilderness journey with a bunch of criminals and an important package. While some of the filmmaking by first-time director Padraic McKinley distracts, everyone's performances are top-notch. Russell Crowe even has scenes where he's standing up! Keep Hawke-ing the skies, and we'll be back soon for THE LOWDOWN SEASON TWO!

Ethan's doing another friend favor, this time for his good buddy Steve Zahn! She Dances, written by Zahn and starring him and his daughter, is a less than stellar indie film that will probably no longer be playing by the time this episode drops. We discuss Ethan's Oscar night, Maya's wedding, dance culture, first time filmmaker techniques, Hank interference, and odd experiences at the AMC Boston Common 19. Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

BEST ACTOR NOMINEE ETHAN HAWKE!!!!!!! We're here to celebrate Ethan's nomination and discuss his crazy press run, including his chats with Sydney Sweeney and Joe Rogan. The Ethan panopticon serves us once again during our chat about 2025 films, Ethan's chances at winning, and the LGBT Oscar nominess and winners Wikipedia page. Keep Hawke-ing the skies! We'll see you at the Oscars!

The most popular TV show in America (featuring Maya Hawke!) has finally come to a close. Returning guest Nick Perry is here to discuss the SERIES FINALE OF STRANGER THINGS, which he saw in theaters. Bylers beware! You're in for a scare! Stranger Things is over! We never have to think about it again! KEEP HAWKE-ING THE SKIES!

Netflix pinched off a couple more Stranger Things episodes, and we're here to pick at it like an owl pellet! Maya doesn't do much, but we find other things to talk about - IT comparisons, RIP James Ransone, dozens of people standing in a room watching one gay boy come out, the Langoliers, Levon Hawke popping up in Marty Supreme, and Maya's continued fashion flops! Stranger Things finally ends on New Year's Eve! KEEP HAWKE-ING THE SKIES!

Okay you had a week, time for full spoilers of Stranger Things 5 Volume 1! In our continued coverage of the show that put Maya on the map (besides having two famous parents), we talk about the thrilling (?) conclusion of the show that ruined pop culture forever. Of course, Netflix is dragging this out in three parts so we'll be back soon to cover the next three episodes. If Maya's character Robin dies, WE WILL NOT COVER THE SERIES FINALE. THIS IS A PROMISE. IT WOULD BE VERY FUNNY. Keep Hawke-ing the... Upside Down??? Oh no!!!

Happy Hawkecember?! It's all come down to this - the first season finale of THE LOWDOWN on FX on Hulu! We talk conspiracies, Elohim City, the possiblity of the show's renewal, and more! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Come up to the bar and chat Blue Moon with us! Chris Feil of This Had Oscar Buzz and Harry Slepian join to talk Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers, Steven Sondheim, Tubi, height wizards, sexy Oklahoma, and Patch Adams being real! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Hawketober continues into Hawkevember as The Lowdown marches on! We're discussing episodes 3 and 4, which is tough since it's right in the middle of the season. This is more of a vibe check than anything else, as we don't need to just recap what happened. That's not how Hawke Cast rolls! Catch up on The Lowdown on FX on Hulu on Disney Plus! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

The black phone is ringing... will you answer? Hawketober continues with Black Phone 2, one of Ethan's only seqeuls outside the Before trilogy. The Grabber is back, and he's got ice skates! Emily and Michael return to discuss the disappointing film, despite some fun moments. What's going on with Blumhouse? They need to figure it out! We'll be back in mere days with more Lowdown. Until then, keep Hawke-ing the skies!

This could go all the way to the top... we're tackling Ethan's new FX on Hulu on Disney Plus miniseries THE LOWDOWN, from Reservation Dogs creator Sterlin Harjo! Ethan stars as irascible fuckup "truthstorian" Lee Raybon, bumbling his way through Tulsa's seedy underbelly. We discuss the first two episodes, the cast, and Ethan's wild press blitz this autumn. See you once again next week for BLACK PHONE 2 and MORE LOWDOWN! And keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Hot Ethan Autumn is here! We've got a plethora of episodes coming up, but first we're talking about Alex Ross Perry's documentary VIDEOHEAVEN, which Maya narrates. This is a good excuse to catch up on Ethan's year, plus some fun stories about video stores and ARP's loving tribute. Follow my Substack PROJECTS! Support SCARECROW VIDEO! Keep Hawke-ing the skies! We'll be back next week!

It's finally happened! We got ourselves a copy of the long missing short film LION'S DEN, one of Ethan's earliest acting gigs! We never thought the day would come! Please everyone be chill about what we say regarding this short film's director... he's out there somewhere! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!
