Brothers Drew and Eric talk about the 2024 movie "Caddo Lake," which is better watched with very little information known ahead of time. They liked it quite a bit. Conversation drifts from "Annihilation" to "24" to "Lost" to "Six Feet Under" to James Elroy. Eric found it helpful that he had watched "The Deer Hunter" earlier in the day for the first time and he found that it was exceedingly boring. Caddo Lake had much more going on.   File length 1:11:17 File Size 53.7 MB   Theme by Jul Big Green via SongFinch Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts Listen to us on Stitcher Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Send your comments to [email protected] Visit the show website at Not In A Creepy Way
