Dart Board Movie Night
Welcome to Dart Board Movie Night! The podcast where we put 20 movies up on a board, throw a dart at it, and let the fates decide. Follow along with us as we uncover hidden gems, rediscover old classics, and explore the odd corners of the film world, all guided by the tip of a dart. Hosted by Drew Clark and Jared Given.

We resurrect the Maya Copa bit (yes we know it's mea culpa) to deliver the greatest Maya Copa of all. Drew was a big dummy and didn't back his audio up properly so we lost a few episodes. In order to keep the order of the dart throws intact and to not leave these movies completely out of the conversation, we are recording some shorter retrospective episodes to insert along the way. On this episode we reflect on THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973). Hope you enjoy. Drew is very sorry.
