    After the pod's unfortunate hiatus, Cody is back and better than ever with his cohost Elijah Johnston; the boys tackle Charlie Kaufman's new Netflix original I'm Thinking of Ending Things, along with Michael Almereyda's wonderfully unorthodox take on the biopic, Tesla.

    Cody never got around to wrangling a new special guest for this week's podcast, so in lieu of that, he recruited Scrawls stalwarts Ben Noble, Joseph Shin, and podcast editor Reagan Jones for a discussion of their favorite films of 2020 so far. The boys touch on everything from Spike Lee's widely acclaimed Da Five Bloods to Lana Wilson's divisive Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana, even making a little time for some discourse regarding Eurovision Song Contest and The King of Staten Island. Things then take a sharp left turn into an extensive analysis and debate over Melvin Van Peebles' iconic blaxploitation (or is it??!) classic Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song.

    Torn on deciding on a film to discuss, Cody and his guest Chris Borg take a gamble on a joint viewing and subsequent reappraisal of Clint Eastwood's 1978 orangutang-starring, country music-filled comedy Every Which Way But Loose. Of course, given that this is the Scrawls on Cinema podcast, the two meander down some other conversational pathways as well; topics include The Godfather, Do the Right Thing, and the overwhelming oeuvre of Howard Hawks.
