Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard (One Heat Minute Productions) and special guest Sean Burns (film critic) will discuss the greatness of the departed Gene Hackman in the special CRITERION COLLECTION 4K release of NIGHT MOVES.Night MovesArthur Penn's haunting neonoir reimagines the hard-boiled detective film for the disillusioned, paranoid 1970s. In one of his greatest performances, Gene Hackman oozes world-weary cynicism as a private investigator whose search for an actress's missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) leads him from the Hollywood Hills to the Florida Keys, where he is pulled into a sordid family drama and a sinister conspiracy he can hardly grasp. Bolstered by Alan Sharp's genre-scrambling script and Dede Allen's elliptical editing, the daringly labyrinthine Night Moves is a defining work of post-Watergate cinema—a silent scream of existential dread and moral decay whose legend has only grown with time.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresNew audio commentary by Matthew Asprey Gear, author of Moseby ConfidentialNew audio interview with actor Jennifer WarrenInterview with director Arthur Penn from a 1975 episode of Cinema ShowcaseInterview with Penn from the 1995 documentary Arthur Penn: A Love Affair with FilmThe Day of the Director, a behind-the-scenes featuretteTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Mark HarrisNew cover by Greg ManchessSean BurnsSean Burns is a film critic for WBUR's Arts & Culture and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies and Crooked Marquee.

HR2 - Arcand continues to discuss the Patriots offseason? Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald joins the show to discuss the Pats pursuit of Cooper Kupp, and more. Finally, Brian Scalabrine represented the city of Boston well in a street ball matchup in New York.

SEGMENT - Arcand is joined by Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald to discuss the Patriots free agent class and what players are left out there for the Patriots to sign.

These New England Patriots are swiftly becoming a reflection of their new head coach. Who knows when this team's ready to win, but all five signings the first 24 hours of NFL free agency should bring to life everything Mike Vrabel preaches to the team as a whole. On Substack Live, we continued the conversation with Andrew Callahan, Patriots beat reporter at The Boston Herald and host of the Pats Interference podcast. * Milton Williams broke the bank. What's his ceiling? * New England was spurned by Chris Godwin, and that's been a pattern at wide receiver. Without a doubt, this is the worst receiving corps in the NFL. There is one veteran available who makes sense.* And the most important person in the building is obviously Drake Maye. The Patriots would love it if receivers warm up to the idea playing with their young QB exactly as John Brown, Cole Beasley and Stefon Diggs flocked to Josh Allen in 2019 and 2020. How realistic is an Allen-like ascent in New England?This organization has a vibrant pulse which, I suppose, is all Vrabel can ask for right now.If you'd like to join future Substack Live events, download the app and flip notifications on.
