2025-02-27 23:03:36 +0000 UTCMost recent Nextlander Podcast, Alex still said he'll be posting the schedule "soon" (next week?). From what was said verbally both on the Watchcast and main podcast, Brazil is next week. It is followed by The Warriors, City of Lost Children, and Dark City. I do wonder if/when they realize March has 5 Mondays.

2025-02-25 13:29:53 +0000 UTCI want to thank you guys so much for covering this and the sting. They are both movies I had never seen before and ended up really liking. I have now gone on blind for the last 5 or 6 Watchcast movies. It’s been a fun ride.
