The Searchers podcast is the passion of three cinephiles who seek to guide you across the potentially overwhelming and untraversed regions of cinema. After a long day toiling through the grassy knolls, dry deserts, and rocky slabs, you deserve a break. Come on down and warm yourself by the fire, crack open a beer, and join us. New episodes every other week.

Happy almost-Thanksgiving to all you lovely listeners out there. This week The Searchers cover John Boorman's Excalibur with guest and friend o' the pod Bryant Tyler. This film features the well-known Arthurian legend with a whole lot of meaningful symbology, which we'll get into and explain on the episode. It's a fun one, and thanks to Bryant for joining the gang to discuss another classic movie that audiences need to rediscover. We'll see you in December, y'all!
Bryant can be found on Letterboxd, HERE.

Searchers hosts Ben and Chris are again joined by regular Aussie guest Nick Langdon to discuss one of his favorite movies Dark City from director Alex Proyas. Several tangents about 90s neo-noir cinema, comic book films, and Australian filmmaking (and more) ensue, but it's a fun informative ride nonetheless. Thanks for joining us again, Nick!
