Dean makes Ciara watch a fourth film shot in his hometown, an Arthurian epic by Exorcist II director John Boorman: Excalibur, which features zero locust POV and tons of before-they-were-famous casting. They talk about Cahir Castle, Gabriel Byrne's soap opera career, and what are movies even supposed to be like, anyway?

For the first episode of the year, Ciara chose John Ford's late career masterpiece The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance as Dean's third encounter with both Ford and John Wayne. They talk about its unusually unscenic take on the frontier, the role of violence in politics and how it reflects on the western's place in American culture.
