Latest Episodes:

Episode 126 - The Weight (2026) Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

There's gold up in them hills! And Ethan's got it in a big ol' bag! We discuss Ethan's latest film THE WEIGHT, a 1933-set wilderness journey with a bunch of criminals and an important package. While some of the filmmaking by first-time director Padraic McKinley distracts, everyone's performances are top-notch. Russell Crowe even has scenes where he's standing up!

Keep Hawke-ing the skies, and we'll be back soon for THE LOWDOWN SEASON TWO!

Episode 125 - She Dances (2026) Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

Ethan's doing another friend favor, this time for his good buddy Steve Zahn! She Dances, written by Zahn and starring him and his daughter, is a less than stellar indie film that will probably no longer be playing by the time this episode drops. We discuss Ethan's Oscar night, Maya's wedding, dance culture, first time filmmaker techniques, Hank interference, and odd experiences at the AMC Boston Common 19.

Keep Hawke-ing the skies!

Episode 123 - Stranger Things 5: The Series Finale (2025) with Nick Perry Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

The most popular TV show in America (featuring Maya Hawke!) has finally come to a close. Returning guest Nick Perry is here to discuss the SERIES FINALE OF STRANGER THINGS, which he saw in theaters.

Bylers beware! You're in for a scare!

Stranger Things is over! We never have to think about it again! KEEP HAWKE-ING THE SKIES!

Episode 122 - Stranger Things 5: Volume 2 (2025) Dec 29, 2025

Show notes

Netflix pinched off a couple more Stranger Things episodes, and we're here to pick at it like an owl pellet! Maya doesn't do much, but we find other things to talk about - IT comparisons, RIP James Ransone, dozens of people standing in a room watching one gay boy come out, the Langoliers, Levon Hawke popping up in Marty Supreme, and Maya's continued fashion flops!

Stranger Things finally ends on New Year's Eve! KEEP HAWKE-ING THE SKIES!

Episode 121 - Stranger Things 5: Volume 1 (2025) Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

Okay you had a week, time for full spoilers of Stranger Things 5 Volume 1! In our continued coverage of the show that put Maya on the map (besides having two famous parents), we talk about the thrilling (?) conclusion of the show that ruined pop culture forever. Of course, Netflix is dragging this out in three parts so we'll be back soon to cover the next three episodes. If Maya's character Robin dies, WE WILL NOT COVER THE SERIES FINALE. THIS IS A PROMISE. IT WOULD BE VERY FUNNY.

Keep Hawke-ing the... Upside Down??? Oh no!!!

Episode 117 - The Lowdown - 'Dinosaur Memories' & 'Short on Cowboys' Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

Hawketober continues into Hawkevember as The Lowdown marches on! We're discussing episodes 3 and 4, which is tough since it's right in the middle of the season. This is more of a vibe check than anything else, as we don't need to just recap what happened. That's not how Hawke Cast rolls!

Catch up on The Lowdown on FX on Hulu on Disney Plus! Keep Hawke-ing the skies!
