After all, they’re stronger than us, and can make demands of our Earthly dollars. However, there was another time. […]

There’s a lot to be said about The Avengers: Infinity War. There’s a lot to discuss, there’s a lot to examine, there’s a lot to question. There’s also a lot to spoil. Walking that fine line, like they do, the denizens of the Nighthawks Diner have divided this episode up into two separate parts: Spoiler-Free, […]
The Nighthawks Diner is many things to many people. It’s conceptual. That’s how it works. For some people, it’s a great place for coffee and pie, after you catch a movie. For others, it’s a good place for coffee and pie, after you catch a buzz. No matter if you’re satiating your artistic interpretation, or […]
Much like the slice of conceptual pie that our listeners treat themselves to at the end of every NIGHTHAWKS episode, this slice of the NIGHTHAWKS PODCAST is indulgent. The boys sit down and reach into the slimy and slippery muck that is their interior feelings, you’ll find this movie nestled snug against the heartstrings: GONE […]
Listen, gang. The Nighthawks get it. They’re not out to snag a few clicks and a few downloads by offering a contrarian opinion to the Zeitgeist. However, they also feel the need to be completely honest with you, and the truth is that sometimes these opinions run contrary to the overwhelming opinion of the populace. […]
It is the 60th Episode of Nighthawks Podcast, and it is time for the 90th annual Academy Awards. In just a few short days, Hollywood (the broad concept) will gather at the Kodak Dolby Theatre in Hollywood (the actual physical place) to celebrate each other and to celebrate the art of film. Meanwhile, outside, Angelinos […]
It is a time of fabulous celebration, million-dollar dresses, hundred-million-dollar movies, and billion dollar returns. But more than the monetary value, and the superficial outward appearance, Hollywood is getting together this weekend to honor achievement in film. Joining us for a third year in a row is the official Nighthawks Oscar Czar, Cameron Maris, who […]
In the words of the prophet Mercury: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” Well, in as much as we’re prerecorded voices speaking from a conceptual diner, this is (in the words of another Prophet, I. Ron Sheik) “the real.” What is not real is the movie we’re watching for this episode of […]
Come with us, across the Atlantic and into the Great White North, as the boys in the Nighthawks Diner explore the Norwegian black comedy IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE. Equal parts FARGO-era Coen Bros. and Scandinavian Noir (Nordic Noir… “Noirdic?”), this little movie has a lot going on for it. A favorite of festival audiences, IN […]
The Netflix tentpole big-budget-juggernaut, BRIGHT, was released on Netflix recently. Is Netflix’s future so BRIGHT they have to wear shades? Or is the new David Ayer film low on luster? The shadow of sexual misconduct hangs over the film’s writer, Hollywood legacy Max Landis. Is it possible to separate art from artist? The boys in […]
