This time around your co-hosts, Scott Phillips and Eddie O'Blivion, take a look at a pair of science fiction Needles: the 2006 Cannes Film Festival disaster from Richard Kelly, Southland Tales, and James Ward Byrkit's 2013 mindbender Coherence. During their wide-ranging discussion they touch on two more non-science fiction Needles: David Robert Mitchell's trippy 2018 L.A. crime film, Under the Silver Lake, and John Carroll Lynch's 2017 dramedy, Lucky.

Southland Tales can be rented on Amazon and Apple TV ($ 3.99).

Coherence can be found on Amazon Prime, Peacock, Hoopla, Kanopy, Philo, Pluto TV and various VOD platforms.

Under the Silver Lake can be on Netflix, The Roku Channel, Kanopy and various VOD platforms.

Lucky can be found on The Roku Channel, Hoopla, Kanopy and various VOD platforms.

Remember that streaming contracts come and go, so when in doubt, consult the JustWatch app for the up-to-the-minute whereabouts of the Needles mentioned on the show. (No. JustWatch isn't a sponsor. We just love their app.)

Thanks to songwriter Burt Perryman for the theme of The Needle and the various music bumpers that were taken from his song "Faded Memory" with his express permission.
