Episode #134
The Searchers are running the mainstream trail on this last episode before Horror Adjacent™ Month. Kevin and Chris cover whiny Spike Lee's claim to fame, Do the Right Thing (1989).

Episode #133
On the latest entry of The Searchers, Ben is joined by returning guest Mitch Capps to cover not a Western but a "Western-adjacent" film. This time we're going back to a favorite director of the show, John Ford, with his early talkie The Lost Patrol starring Victor McLaglen and Boris Karloff. Listen as we compare this to the rest of Ford's filmography, discuss McLaglen's career, evaluate religious symbolism in Boris Karloff's performance, and maybe a very random DCU tangent. Is this John Ford movie a hidden oasis out on the trail? Listen and find out. Thanks for listening, y'all! Please rate us a 5/5, and review us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us.

Episode #132
Back to Hollywood's Golden Age! Following our recent episode on David Lean's The Passionate Friends, Chris picks another gem from the '40s: Vincente Minnelli's The Clock, starring Judy Garland opposite Robert Walker. Does the perfect romance film exist? Take it from Haddaway: "What Is Love?" This one makes a strong case — strangers on a New York street become strangers on a train, and strangers fearing the future become strangers in love in the present. Who cares what tomorrow brings when happenstance can unlock romance like this? It's a film of rare firsts and lasts: one of only three non-singing roles in Garland's career, and one of Walker's few against-type performances. The tragically short lives of both leads add a haunting layer to the film's meditation on time — could a movie like this get made today? Join Chris and Kevin as they roll back the nitrate reels of Golden Age Hollywood to find out.

Episode #131
Following last year's coverage of Buffalo '66, The Searchers turn to Vincent Gallo's second feature, The Brown Bunny (2003) — a film that generated controversy from its infamous Cannes premiere and the now-legendary feud between Roger Ebert and Gallo himself. Opinion on the film remains split, but a growing faction of cinephiles has embraced Gallo's cult status as filmmaker, actor, painter, musician, and songwriter, championing The Brown Bunny as an underrated, raw portrait of an artist. Do Chris and Kevin agree? One of them has actually seen Gallo in person at a screening of his personal 35mm print — so expect some firsthand insight. Tune in to hear their take on Gallo's last released film, and sound off: do you think Gallo will ever release unreleased projects like Promises Written in Water and April?
