One of the highlights from the first year of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, was when our hosts Will and Don were able to get together in person across the long divide between Phoenix and Chicago. Last, they banked four episodes of future hits. This time around, they were strategic for an episode on one blockbuster (and a big collaboration project coming soon).

For their 74th episode, our two conspiracy theory film critics, alien dads, and perfect school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan are reunited together again! Will was visiting family in Chicago and met up with Don to shoot the breeze and create some stellar content. A piece of that is a special shared microphone Cinephile Hissy Fit on Jordan Peele’s Nope. It’s one guy’s middle film and another’s new #1 of the year. Be listening here and be ready to watch a video version on YouTube!
