We celebrate the life and career of Ryan O'Neal with a discussion of his slickest star vehicle. My audio is a little choppy at times because I had to cut out a lot of barking. Peggy was very excitable during this episode but can you blame her? It's Ryan O'Neal, it's Isabelle Adjani, it's Bruce Dern, it's Walter Hill, folks. What a cast. What a picture. What a podcast.

We run down some of Austin's favorite new movies, some of Raymond's favorite old movies and exactly one prompt from the mailbag. Not a great ratio, I don't know what to tell you. Happy New Year, folks.
