Afterthoughts

Special guest Sean joins Dixon and John for one more go as we discuss another round of Recommends and/or Refutes! Sean, as a parent, subs in for Ryan bringing a family friendly mention in addition to The Boy and The Heron (2023), Dixon has David Lynch on the mind and revisits Eraserhead (1977) as a result, and John decided to join the theater going crowds and subject himself to Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005).

Don't shoot people. Shoot whiskey.

On this special episode of Afterthoughts-- Dixon, Ryan, and John discuss a variety of short films they watched as part of a recent local Austin short film festival. Special thanks to Hyperreal Film Club, their volunteers, and the filmmakers who participated in the Film Fest --we promise to try and stay on topic as we discuss the shorts from this event. Even if you're not a resident of Austin, you too can follow these filmmakers' journeys and (potentially) see their shorts.
