Shownotes Transcript

In this episode we're talking about 'Lucky', the directorial debut from John Carroll Lynch ('Fargo', 'Zodiac') and the final performance of the late, great Harry Dean Stanton.

Lucky follows the spiritual journey of Harry Dean Stanton’s character Lucky, a cantankerous, self-reliant 90 year old atheist, and the quirky characters that inhabit the Arizona town where he lives. Having out-lived and out-smoked all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self-exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment.

John Carroll Lynch's directorial debut also features director David Lynch, Ron Livingston (The ConjuringSwingersOffice Space), Ed Begley Jr. (St. Elsewhere), and Tom Skerritt (AlienTop GunContact).

Discussing the film are Sam Howlett, Kelly Powell, Ryan Hewitt and first time podder Mark Towers.
