In 2013 two guys whose favorite movie is (was?) Hudson Hawk decided to watch every movie in the Criterion Collection in Spine order. And why not make it a podcast? Hosts: @theadamglass.bsky.social @jpatrickdorgan.bsky.social http://www.lostincriterion.com

A screenshot of a tweet from the United States Department of Homeland Security. The tweet reads: "A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending. American Progress - John Gast" The tweet then contains an image of John Gast's 1872 painting American Progress. The painting, a metaphorical visualization of Manifest Destiny, depicts white settlers crossing the Great Plains of North America, including covered wagon trains, stagecoaches, and trains. Native Americans, American bison, and wolves are driven off the land by the advancing settlers. In the foreground, white settlers clear-cut forests to make farmland. In the center, a giant white woman with flowing blond hair and wearing a white toga walks with the settlers. She is Columbia, a personification of the United States of America, and she carries a "school book" in her right hand and places telegraph cable with her left hand.

Screenshot of a headline from Empire: "Paddington in Peru will not to Werner Herzog's Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo."
Under the headline is a picture of Paddington Bear, a small brown bear in a red hat and blue coat holding an umbrella, with mountains in the background.

A paper mask of the face of the actor John Malkovich, a balding, clean shaven white male with green-brown eyes staring into your very being. The mask is held by my hand above a table of assorted knickknacks on a white table in a front yard.

Movie poster for Hudson Hawk (1991). Alternatingly lines of red and teal text read: Catch the Excitement. Catch the Adventure. Catch the Hawk. Bruce Willis. Hudson Hawk.
Superimposed over the first instance of the word "Hawk" is an image of Willis as Hawk swinging on a rope.
