    7. The Bad Guys (2022)

    After languishing in Widows territory for so long (thanks to our unplanned, extended break), Drew and Rafe move to something a little more family friendly: 2022's The Bad Guys for an animated heist flick. How does this feature hold up to the less-animated pictures we've looked at so far? How will our hosts handle adding anthropomorphic animals to their draft rosters? Should game masters use different voices for NPCs? We talk about all of that and more in our latest episode! Please let us know what you think about this episode!

    It's Inter-MISSION time: Drew and Rafe are back with our Widows Inter-MISSION to finally put a button on this film's discussion! They talk about things they missed the first time around with Widows and stat their draft characters, talk about films they wish they had merchandise for, maybe hit on a game they want to develop, and announce the next Heist movie they'll be taking on.

    6. Widows (2018)

    2018's Widows marks a departure from the other heist films we've looked at so far and marks the first time we've explored the heist as a dramatic film instead of an action/comedy piece. This month we look at a second group of unskilled heist specialists, much like Bottle Rocket, but in a far more dramatic fashion and with much bigger stakes.  Please let us know what you think about this episode!

    Inter-MISSION: Bottle Rocket

    It's Inter-MISSION time: Drew and Rafe are back with our longest Inter-MISSION yet!

Programming Reminder: There will not be new episodes of the podcast in August, but we'll be back in September to continue our Heist season with the next film! We'll continue to interact with friends through our Never Say Die Facebook group though. Interact with the show on Instagram and Twitter or email us at theneversaydiepodcast@gmail.com.

    5. Bottle Rocket (1996)

    So far, every heist we've looked at this season has been accomplished thanks to the efforts of a highly-qualified team of specialists. This month we're looking at a subgenre of Heist films that undermines that resolution: the incompetent criminals. We talk about Wes Anderson's debut film, 1996's Bottle Rocket, featuring Owen and Luke Wilson as part of a criminal team with bigger ambitions than talent.  Please let us know what you think about this episode!

    4. Sneakers (1992)

    While our hosts haven't shared their individual short-lists of movies to pick from, Sneakers was surely on both of them. Rafe and Drew talk about this iconic 1992 heist film, complete with an excellent plot and a star-studded cast. Listen as Rafe dislikes baseball movies, Drew torments himself with his draft selection, and the duo rave about one of their favorite movies, which holds up incredibly well despite being over thirty years old.
