Episode notes
The Manhunting crew has finally reached their eponymous movie! Join Rob, Dia, Alex, and returning special guest Patrick Klepek as they discuss Michael Mann’s adaptation of the first of the Hannibal Lecter novels Red Dragon. It’s a fascinating look at one of the earliest serial-killer-profiler-gets-in-too-deep movies with a performance by William Petersen that would go on to inspire the TV version of Will Graham in the hit series Hannibal, a surprisingly grounded Brian Cox turn as Hannibal Lecter, and Tom Noonan being uncomfortably method as serial killer Francis Dolarhyde. Hell Fuzzy Yeah!…

WPNMP - The Matrix Resurrections
It’s time to jack back in one last time. Gita Jackson is back alongside Rob, Patrick, and Cado to talk about The Matrix Resurrections, the latest movie in the Matrix franchise, and one who’s own inception is scrutinized within this film. While Gita, Patrick, and Cado left their initial viewings having enjoyed the film, Rob was ultimately left cold. We get into how our different reads diverged, the ways in which this Matrix fits into Lana Wachowski’s work since the original trilogy, queer text and subtext, and the true power of love.

Mannhunting - Miami Vice
Rob, Alex, and Dia are back at it again in the Manniverse! Join them as they dive into the world of Miami Vice, the hit TV show that often gets attributed to Mann despite the fact that he’s only the Producer for the show. Still, the show has some classic Mann-erisms with some killer soundtrack moments, men losing themselves in their jobs, and ridiculous premises that boarder on Saw -like near the end of the show’s run.

Waypoint 101 - Roadside Picnic
STALKTOBER IS HERE! Rob is leading the entire Waypoint crew on a grand journey through all things S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and first up Roadside Picnic, the novel that started it all. We discuss this seminal sci-fi text at length, from its striking and terrifying worldbuilding to its economic allegories, its existential questions of humanity's essential nature to the material realities of coming in contact with something beyond your comprehension, and who's life is placed in danger for others to step over.

WPNMP - Draft Day
It’s football season, so what better way to mark the occasion than watching … an NFL propaganda film? Rob and Patrick are joined by IGN’s Kat Bailey to discus Draft Day, an officially approved NFL movie that might actually work better as accidental satire than advertisement, even if there's a ton of product placement.
