This week\\u2019s guest Robert Saucedo, film-buyer of The Alamo Drafthouse, welcomes us to mid-80s, small-town Texas as commented upon by Talking Heads lyrics and the deadpan, obliquely humorous observations of David Byrne. \\xa0John Goodman heads a cast of highly idiosyncratic, so-weird-they\\u2019re-normal/so-normal-they\\u2019re-weird characters honoring the state\\u2019s sesquicentennial by putting on their own \\u201cCelebration of Specialness.\\u201d

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing John Waters\\u2019\\xa0Multiple Maniacs\\xa0(1970).
