  • The 2025 Lone Star Silver Screen Movie Awards, Pt. 2 w/ Nick Holloway
    Feb 12 2026

    Austin is joined by Nick to finish their 2025 Awards conversation. They pick their Top 5 films of the year, cover their wild card and honorable mention picks, and generally thirst over Tom Hanks, Sophie Thatcher, Kerry Condon, Michael B. Jordan, and more. Balancing that with occasionally insightful commentary is a challenge, but one the boys are more than happy to tackle.

    This episode serves as the Season 1 finale of the podcast; Season 2 kicks off soon!
