Hawke Cast

Everybody, hands up! This is a podcast! We have a new release this week, one that finally made its way to Boston: STOCKHOLM! Directed by the same filmmaker who turned Ethan into Chet Baker for BORN TO BE BLUE, STOCKHOLM is the story of the 1973 bank hostage crisis from which the term "Stockholm syndrome" was born! It's a good movie with a wonderfully cracked-out Ethan performance. Go see it! And k...

Newsflash: We were on the radio in February to discuss Hawke Cast with Jim and Margery of WGBH! WGBH graciously allowed us to put the audio of our Friday News Quiz on the Hawke Cast feed. If you haven't listened yet, please check it out! The audio quiz was VERY difficult! And keep Hawke-ing the skies!

In January of 2005, one of the darkest years of film on record, Ethan Hawke found himself in a modern remake of John Carpenter's ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. And it turned out to be a lot of fun! Michael Roberson joins the five-timers club of Hawke Cast guests and joins us for a discussion of this 'pretty good' remake. We talk fashion, tertiary characters, fun action scenes, and how the female characte...

Today, March 20th, is the second anniversary of Hawke Cast! Ain't that something special? To celebrate, we recorded an episode about one of Ethan's rare TV roles, because leaving anything out at this point is just irresponsible. Unfortunately, this role just so happens to be a voice on Adult Swim's worst (?) show, Robot Chicken. These jokes have aged worse than milk left on a porch. Also Ethan is...

Howdy, folks! It's our first 2019 Ethan film discussion, THE KID directed by longtime Hawke-friend, Vincent D'Onofrio! It a western about Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan, perfectly cast) and his longtime nemesis Sheriff Pat Garrett (Mr. Hawke). It's pretty good! Join us 'round the campfire for some tales of fake beards, director cameos, male shouting, and streaming content trends. And as always, keep H...

What's so bad about drone bombing? Besides, well, everything about it. Ethan is trying to figure that out, while also trying to prevent the absolute decay of his immortal soul, in the 2014 film  Good Kill . Zack Bond returns to discuss this Andrew Niccol-directed film about a drone pilot whose conscience is awakened after he kills civilians in Afghanistan from a box in Las Vegas. The film is avail...

Third time's the Tom? *I am immediately strangled by my brother Paul Dano* For our final exploration of  True West , we called up thespian Tom Phelan for his take on the proceedings. We talk Ethan's gut, toast, toasters, boyfights, Neil Gaiman possibly scamming some people, and much much more. This show sounds like a nice night out. Imagine if Ethan gets another Tony nom for being a gross monster...

Wait, where are Corey and Kyle? They're not here. They don't live in New York. They can't just go to Broadway shows all the time! Thank goodness friends of pod, Ben Ferber and Alison Schilling , are on call to break down Ethan Hawke's new play  True West ! That's right, Ben and Alison are hosting their very own Hawke Cast episode, and things are gonna get a little crazy! We've got segments galore,...

Did you know Ethan Hawke is on Broadway *right now*? We did, but we really didn't feel like shelling out the money for tickets. We've already done a lot for this guy, ya know? That's why we got four SPECIAL NEW YORK CORRESPONDENTS (but only three episodes) to tell us all about  True West , in which Ethan stars as a real slimeball with Paul Dano as his brother! First up is quadruple threat (dancer/...

Welcome back to Hawke Cast! This is a new era for the pod, because Ethan Hawke himself found out we exist . Good news though, he loves us. Come on the show! It'll be fun! Anyway, our first episode of 2019 is CYMBELINE with returning friend of the podcast, Shannon Keane! This film has the same director as Hamlet (2002), but is way more fun. Join us as we discuss Shakespeare adaptations, platonic br...

Yes hello! For the final Hawke Cast of 2018, we got to do something very special. Here we have an interview with Vulture's own Hunter Harris , a wonderful writer and Ethan Hawke enthusiast. Hunter and I came together to discuss Ethan's stellar 2018, especially his soon-to-be-Oscar-nominated performance in  First Reformed. We also talk about the Before Trilogy, Ethan's remarkable ability to give th...

Do you like comedy? Me neither, good thing this movie isn't funny and is instead a dark character study based on a play! Ali Russo and Todd Stark join us to discuss  The Jimmy Show , directed by and starring Frank Whaley. Ethan plays his work friend who's always stoned. We talk self-direction, New Jersey, the nature of adaptation, and the American Dad episode "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven", which we r...

Today's film, GETAWAY, is actually a Christmas movie, which doesn't entirely fit with the month of November. Also, we recorded this in August. However, this film is unbelievably perplexing, so this episode quickly became our CONSPIRACIES SPECIAL. Conspiracies addressed with the help of special guest Dan Vruno: Was this film a front for the mob? Did Ethan Hawke inspire Justin Bieber to grow a beard...

Happy HallowEthan/Ethanween! Hope you're getting some treats! In our very first CROSSOVER EPISODE, we have the hosts of acclaimed horror podcast NAMELESS CULTS , Michael Roberson and Dan Cullen! We're discussing the 2012 horror film SINISTER, which was genuinely frightening! Ethan plays a washed-up horror writer who discovers some gruesome film in his new home. You can probably guess what happens...

Welcome to Ethanween! Hallowethan? Whatever, you get it. First up we have a movie that's ostensibly meant to be scary, but it mostly just terrible! It's REGRESSION, which stars Ethan as a detective named BRUCE KENNER. It also stars Emma Watson, who is terrible here. Dan Richman and Todd Stark join us to discuss bad American accents, a gruesome sex scene, and a theory that this film was rewritten a...

It's finally here! The latest film directed by Mr. Hawke, BLAZE! This is a special episode because we got to see Ethan do a Q&A after the screening, and he's pretty much a genius! Enjoy the episode, the first episode in the "AME" era (After Meeting Ethan), and keep Hawke-ing the skies!

THIS IS A HAWKE CAST ANNOUNCEMENT. TONIGHT, I MET ETHAN HAWKE (the actor) OUTSIDE THE COOLIDGE CORNER THEATER IN BROOKLINE, MA. KEEP HAWKE-ING THE SKIES.

Corey saw Juliet, Naked, so we're back to discuss it again! It's a nice movie, y'all should see it. Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Do you too wear cardigans and dream of leaving your sleepy English seaside town? Do you have a minor obsession with disappeared rock stars and/or Ethan Hawke? Do you enjoy pleasant little romantic comedies that leave you smiling? Then JULIET, NAKED is the film for you. It's in theaters now! Returning friends of the pod Shannon Keane and Kyle Risley discuss Nick Hornby phases, Ethan's hair, Rose By...

Here comes the first* podcast to ever discuss another podcast! That's right, this week we're taking on the Gimlet Media podcast SANDRA, starring Kristen Wiig, Alia Shawkat, and Ethan Hawke in a comedic supporting role! Is Ethan a good voice actor? Is this podcast strangely apolitical about drones and our surveillance state? Does the concept literally make no sense? Is it all a giant ad for HP and...

Once you check in, you can never leave. But oh, you'll want to. Welcome to Ethan's directorial debut CHELSEA WALLS, a terrible film that's really more of a mood piece. Our guest is 23-year-old internet darling FRAN HOEPFNER , who hated it. Join us as we discuss Ethan's filter choices, dire audio quality, Uma Thurman's wig, and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.   And be sure to keep Hakwe-ing the skies!

You've got a date with Ethan! Our special Mystery Guest (first heard on First Reformed Part Two ) joins us to discuss the 1991 'romantic' 'comedy' MYSTERY DATE. Listen for our breakdown of the nonsensical plot, the blatant racism, and its strange similarities to 2018 comedy hit Game Night. This movie isn't worth watching! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Welcome to the final* installment of Ethan's Book Club! Described by critics as "Ethan Hawke's second novel", the focus of today's discussion is Ash Wednesday! In this sweaty episode, recorded on one of the hottest days of the year in New York City, we welcome two first-time guests, Arman Avasia and Ben Ferber, and two returning friends of the podcast, Alison Schilling and Ryan Duggan ! Join us as...

War never changes. And neither does the focus of this podcast! From the author of  DAD  (Remember, the one with Jack Lemmon's manic phase?) comes A MIDNIGHT CLEAR, a tale of young soldiers and their wintery trials near the end of World War II. Friend of the podcast Bobby Duffy returns to discuss religious symbolism, virginity pacts, babyface boys, and Peter Berg's Battleship (2012). Keep Hawke-ing...
