Yes, May 4th is Star Wars day. No, we didn't talk about Star Wars.

But Earth's Mightiest Critics did talk about a rebellious country boy (with a very familiar name) who must navigate a treacherous hive of scum and villainy!

In this round table review of Cool Hand Luke, we look at Stuart Rosenberg's sweltering chain gang drama, which stars Paul Newman in the iconic, titular role. From changing depictions of masculinity on film; to connections with Christ imagery and Rebel Without A Cause, and the disappearance of culture-shaking big studio pictures from the modern movie landscape--this spirited episode is 50 eggs worth o' podcast!

Cool Hand Luke is now available on 4K UHD Blu-ray from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
