Hawke Cast

We did it! Ethan's Moon Knight antagonist is dead! The man got his bag and got out. Our last trip into the Marvel Cinematic Universe EVER! KNOCK ON WOOD! Keep Hawke-ing the skies, as always!

Hark! Vikings! Jack Draper of Exiting Through the 2010s joins us to discuss Ethan's small yet pivotal role in Robert Eggers' latest film THE NORTHMAN. He's a king that gets killed by Claes Bang! Few could say the same. Also discussed: the fall of CNN+, Hawke's pandemic productivity, Avatar: The Way of Water, and White Mike Summer. Pretty good movie! Go see it and keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Yes, it's true - Moon Knight is still going! And Ethan's in it! There was a big twist at the end of episode four so we had Clay Williams of Exiting Through the 2010s to break it down a bit. Two Oscars! Bad CGI! Standalone comics? Everything and more! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

MOON KNIGHT has begun! We bring in local MK experts Michael Roberson and Todd Stark to help us make sense of this wacky Marvel character and Ethan's villianous cult leader. He better die in this! Until the miniseries finale, keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Oh shit! He's almost here! Moon Knight, featuring Ethan Hawke as the villianous "Arthur Harrow"! He's got a magic cane and an undying devotion to an Egyptian god! What's he planning? Tune in soon to find out!

Happy 2022 everyone! This is a quick check-in to acknowledge that the man has a ridiculous number of projects this year! We can't wait to cover them all soon :-) Moon Knight starts March 30th, hope it isn't stupid! I guess that will count as our fifth anniversary episode? Good lord.

Ethan's pandemic output continues with this Abel Ferrara drama about... well... many things, including being on the phone and the Vatican exploding. Zeros and Ones starts with Ethan addressing the audience from his living room and ends the same way. Not what I expected that's for sure! Jack Draper of the podcast Exiting Through the 2010s attempts to help us parse this strange little film and discuss what's next for our man. It was his birthday on the 6th, happy birthday Ethan! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

A voice only performance in a film that's just Jake Gyllenhaal on the phone? Yes please! Our fourth Fuqua film, and certainly not the last. The Guilty is on Netflix now and it's 90 minutes and pretty good! Worth a watch. Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

He never stops! We discuss Ethan's latest graphic novel collaboration with artist Greg Ruth, MEADOWLARK! The dad looks exactly like Ethan, it ain't subtle! After some project updates since our last episode, we chat about the book and get some special insight into Greg and Ethan's lives from their recent AMA. Pretty solid comic! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

No more WAITING... we're back! Beloved friend of the arts Tom Phelan returns to chat about Ethan's latest project - a pandemic-inspired virtual performance of WAITING FOR GODOT. Yeah.... mhm..... Anyway, we discuss this version of Godot's failings, check in on recent Ethan updates, debate the existence of the fourth Before film, and much more! You can rent Godot here for a couple more days I think? But probably don't. We'll be back later in the summer. Until then, keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Ethan wrote another book! It's about going crazy while doing Shakespeare! Let's dig in! This is our last regular episode for a while, as we've caught up with the man's work. As we discuss here, he's got plenty cooking! We'll be back sooner than you can say "Keep Hawke-ing the skies!"

Ethan loves libraries! Returning guest Michael Roberson (Nameless Cults) joins us in the backyard to discuss Ethan's high-energy talk at the virtual library conference. We chat about the ALA's faults, vocational awe, actors who are also writers, the recent Moon Knight news, and more! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Welcome 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. It's a film that falls apart pretty fast, sadly. But we get to talk about Alita Battle Angel again, so for that we are grateful. Keep Hawke-ing the skies, and we'll see you soon!

Like all prestige miniseries, The Good Lord Bird has come to a close. We're back in the yard discussing our favorite characters, the series' best moments, and what the future holds for Ethan (it's a lot of things!) Keep Hawke-ing the skies and we'll be back soon with Cut Throat City!

It's time to sing about the goodness of the Lord! Ethan's television miniseries THE GOOD LORD BIRD is finally here! Ethan gets to freak it handily as famed abolitionist maniac John Brown in the miniseries he co-created and wrote for! This in many ways is Ethan Hawke's blank check, and the premiere is as promising as his best works. Even Boyhood shows up! From Boyhood! We'll check back in when the series wraps up next month. Until then, keep Hawke-ing the skies!  

Zap! We're back! Did you miss us and Ethan? He's been keeping busy during the pandemic and so have we. But not with this podcast, clearly. Anyway, we're here to discuss Ethan's latest film TESLA, in which he plays virgin king Nikola Tesla. Death rays! Electricity! Desi from Girls! TESLA has it all, even if it's not super great! Enjoy, and keep Hawke-ing the skies, even in these difficult times.  

All 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! Enjoy, and keep Hawke-ing the skies! We'll be back sooner than you can say "I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away."

Thar she blows! D and Zack return to discuss literary sensation and "fine" German-Canadian miniseries MOBY DICK starring William Hurt as Ahab and Ethan Hawke as Starbuck, not Ishmael. Uh, not sure what else to say. It's Moby Dick! Read the book! The miniseries is on DVD at the library? Keep Hawke-ing the skies?  

Happy 2020! 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 though we're almost out of movies! We'll keep going until he dies, if ever!

Happy 2020! Hawke Cast returns 2/10 with a new episode! Then probably soon after that with the Before Trilogy episodes! For real! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!
