[NO SWAYZ NOVEMBER] SA: U.S. Marshals (1998)
[ALTERNATE TITLE] The Fugitive: No Country For Old Corn. Jo Burke rejoins the Swayze Boys for yet the final installment of No Swayz November 2023. She forgets that this movie is a sequel, but it doesn't matter. Our favorite Second Degree Swayz Bro hunts Wesley Snipes across the country while the latter attempts to clear his name. Robert Downey Jr. also reappears, sans Australian accent, and prompts a discussion of the CIA and their role in our society. This is officially the episode where Josh loves cops.

[NO SWAYZ NOVEMBER] SA: Natural Born Killers (1994)
Fellow Swayze Boy Danny Bolterstein joins us for another installment of No Swayze November. Featuring: Josh's famous elevator pitches, Danny's famous contrarianism, Vince's famous hosting skills, and an occasional kazoo. We try to think really hard about a movie that might not need much thought, and end with a BRIEF discussion of what this movie seems to be saying about (TRIGGER WARNING) sexual assault. It's another one of those movies that appears to be in direct contradiction with its own message.

[NO SWAYZ NOVEMBER] SA: Blown Away (1994)
The Swayze Boys pull the switcharoo on Shane Stroud and present him with a movie that HE recommended to us. Jeff Bridges is a grizzled, secretly-Irish bomb squad veteran, and Forest Whitaker plays his replacement: a hot-headed rookie. Think: Speed meets Saw with Tommy Lee Jones playing a classic Batman villain complete with a titled lair. The Swayze Boys and the film both somehow avoid in-depth discussions of apartheid.

[NO SWAYZ NOVEMBER] SA: No Country For Old Men (2007)
One of Dan Stover's favorite movies is No Country For Old Men, which makes him the perfect guest for this installment of No Swayz November. Nobody is a good guy in this movie or real life. Javier Bardem plays a spooky monster long before Mother! Woody Harrelson sweats buckets. Tommy Lee Jones talks about his dreams as an accurately cowardly cop. Dan brings a literature-based perspective. Vince can't pronounce Javier Bardem's name correctly. Josh refuses to love westerns that aren't Brokeback Mountain. RIP Rip Torn.

[NO SWAYZ NOVEMBER] SA: Under Siege (1992)
Steven Seagal Expert Jim Margle helps us kick off No-Swayz November with a look at a man who is Swayze's diametric opposite. Busey chews the scenery in drag while Tommy Lee Jones plays a silly little Joker. Vince lays out the facts, Jim gives us the context necessary to evaluate this film's confusing messages, and Josh confesses to be a patriot at heart. Featuring a list of Steven Seagal's many crimes.

Donnie Darko (2001) Rewatch w/ Anne Oakley
Anne Oakley joins the Swayze Boys on a quest to solve the Fear/Love Spectrum and sort out exactly what this movie is trying to say. We mostly dive past formerly-tread territory and talk about what it was to be a teenager, refuse to rank the evil nature of this film's villains, and give sound advice about whether or not you should take your prescribed psychiatric medications. With that said, "Go away, Donnie Darko. We're tired of talking about you." Check out The Lowcocks new album, CONTENDER, wherever you listen to music!

The Swayze Boys admit past mistakes. Jo reveals her legal name and other dark secrets. Jake don't know shit about TUBI.
