TRUE DETECTIVE – NIGHT COUNTRY REVIEW
Time is a flat circle…again. True Detective is back with its 4th season now with showrunner and director Issa López. This season, aptly named Night Country, takes us to Ennis, Alaska where the town is preparing for the grueling six month period of darkness. On the eve of the first day of dark, a group of scientists from the local Tsalal research facility go missing and Chief Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) leads the investigation. Former partner and now State Trooper Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) pushes her way into the case since a severed tongue is found at the crime scene which may belong to a victim from an unsolved case that haunts her to this day. As the scientists are discovered in what may be the most gruesome popsicle ever conceived, Danvers and Navarro reluctantly pair up to solve the grisly murder and uncover darker secrets that plague the town of Ennis. Wright, Sarah Jane, and Neil discuss the newest season’s change from the gothic, grimy, and sweaty previous seasons to the cold and desolate night country. Does True Detective’s newest season hold a candle to 1st season’s masterpiece or does it shrine through the darkness as a successful entry? Listen as they discuss True Detective: Night Country!

Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies.

His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’.

Neil Anderson (Screener Squad)
I first got hooked on movies when I saw Star Wars at a drive-in theater as a kid. Growing up in a small, rural town meant not having access to a lot of movies. In college, that all changed. I couldn’t get enough. I love it all — flicks, films, movies, and cinema. I still have that wide-eyed wonder of that kid watching movies from the back of a pick-up truck at the drive-in.
