   WPNMP - The Matrix

   Patrick, Rob, Cado and special guest Gita Jackson are rewatching The Matrix trilogy in preparation for The Matrix Resurrections . They discuss why it’s such an enduring film, from it’s visually stunning production to it’s deeply meaningful and deft allegories for oppressive structures and a trans experience.

   Manhunting - Manhunter

   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!…

   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.

   Here it is! Austin did one final podcast with Waypoint before riding off into the sunset for greener pastures.

   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.
