We're happy to present you this week with another special interview episode about a haunting, subversive revenge western that is newly released to video on demand as of June 20th.

FALL IS A GOOD TIME TO DIE tells the story of a quiet young ranch hand named Cody (Joe Hiatt), who learns that someone who devastated his family years ago has been released from prison. Intent on serving up justice he believes was never delivered, Cody sets upon a path of uneasy revenge. His journey brings him into collision with a local sheriff named Jane (Jennifer Pierce Mathus), who is haunted by her own past as well as the burden of her job's responsibilities. The film is thoughtful, elegant, and emotionally resonant as it explores the impulses of grief and guilt amidst the weight of redemption and responsibility.

We had the privilege to sit down with writer/director Dalton Coffey as well as the film's two lead actors, Joe Hiatt and Jennifer Pierce Mathus, for a fascinating conversation about a film we greatly enjoyed. We hope you'll check out the film on your on-demand platform of choice and we hope you enjoy this fun conversation.

We're continuing our series on the films of David Lynch this week with what is arguably his most unusual entry: THE STRAIGHT STORY. Lynch had built a reputation on bizarre works like Eraserhead and Lost Highway. His films were often filled with graphic sex and violence as in Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, or even Wild at Heart. So, when his gentle, elegant, G-rated Disney film was released, it turned more than a few heads and earned him some of the most broadly universal acclaim of his career.

The Straight Story tells of Alvin Straight, an elderly and ailing man who learns that his brother has suffered a stroke. Unable to drive a car, he determines to set out on a nearly 400-mile journey to visit his brother on a riding lawnmower, embarking upon an episodic journey filled with interesting characters and beautiful landscapes. It is a remarkably spiritual journey of potent wisdom and uncommon grace, offered up with a degree of humanity that perhaps could have only been expressed by the late David Lynch.

We're joined by Andrew Nelson and Matt Murray to discuss the film's finer details as well as debate the wisdom of Alvin Straight's quest and explore just how far we might go in order to put things right. It's a thoughtful, funny, and vulnerable conversation that we really hope you'll enjoy.
