    Saddle up and keep your trigger fingers loose—Ken and Andy are riding back into the wild, weird West! This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, the fellas tackle the dusty trail of The Cowboys (1972), where John Wayne herds up some preteen ranch hands; the grisly horror-western Bone Tomahawk, where things get downright cannibalistic; and the brand-new frontier slow-burn Rust (2025), a film with a production saga nearly as dramatic as its plot. Expect shootouts, side-eyes, and saddle sores as we decide: is it worth your gold, or should you just rustle up a torrent?

    🦇🕺💉 This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, we’re throwin' on our capes and creepin’ through the crypt of Black vampire cinema! First up, the OG fang daddy himself in Blackula 🧛🏿—smooth, spooky, and rocking a velvet collar. Then we hit the streets with Vampire in Brooklyn 🕷️, where Eddie Murphy does everything (including the wigs). And finally, we dig into the indie cult madness of Sinners 🎤🩸—twin brothers, a juke joint, and oh yeah... vampires.

    Is it sexy? Scary? Campy as hell? Yes. 😈 Tune in, sharpen your teeth, and find out if these bloodsuckers are worth a Pass, a Pirate, or a full-on Pay.

    This week, Ken and Andy reach deep into the cinematic grab bag and pull out three wildly different flicks for your reviewing pleasure in an episode we’re calling… Mixed Bag.

    🌀 Twisted (2004) – Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, and Andy Garcia star in this forgotten thriller that gets our full “Better Than Gigli?” treatment. Spoiler: the bar is low, but the laughs are high.
    🕵️‍♂️ Black Bag – A slick, shadowy espionage flick that tries to stay one step ahead of the audience. Does it succeed, or get lost in its own spycraft?
    🎮 A Minecraft Movie – The blocky video game behemoth finally hits the big screen. But does it mine for cinematic gold or fall into a pit of pixels?

    Three movies. Zero connection. One question: Pass, Pirate, or Pay?

    Tune in for chaos, critique, and a few curveballs—now streaming wherever you get your podcasts.
