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.

On this week's episode we luxuriate in an Oscars style, overly-long, incredibly indulgent fake awards show to honor the best of the first 50 movies we have watched for the show. We had an absolute blast recording this and reliving all the amazing achievements, moments, performances, and of course Top Brutes of this set of 50. We hope this will provide viewing inspiration for people who may have skipped some of our favorites of the year!

This week we are joined by filmmaker Stephen Steinbacher, as we attempt to pay homage to one of the early masterpieces of cinema history, Fritz Lang's first talkie, M (#3 on the board). A fascinating look at the hysteria and mob rule that can arise in response to the unthinkable, this one is remarkably modern for being nearly 100 years old. Don't let the year scare you away, this one will leave you thinking.

An acclaimed modern day director steers us towards THE LAST OF SHEILA, and we discuss whether this under-seen whodunit from the early 70's stands the test of time.
In one of the stranger "the dart works in mysterious ways" twists of fate, this episode was recorded on Feb. 15th 2023, the day of Raquel Welch's passing.
This picture of Michael Caine will make sense to those who listen to the episode.

Get philosophical with us this week as we contemplate our place in the universe with WAKING LIFE (#18 on the board), the 2001 Richard Linklater directed experimental adult-animation film. We're joined this week by Drew's longtime friend Mike O'Donnell to help us sift through the good, the bad, and the weird of this lucid dream of a film.
