I think what's hard for me with that characterization for res dogs, and again, this could just be a limitation, is I feel like so much of it is in the shadow of their friend dying by suicide.
Roxana HadadiGUEST
I guess it's hard for me, but I understand what you're saying because so many episodes were like, this is the wacky stuff Willie Jack and Cheese are getting up to, or Big is discovering the cult of white men having sex with fish or whatever.
Roxana HadadiGUEST
But I think thematically for me, it always felt so much like a drama.
Roxana HadadiGUEST
Yeah.
Roxana HadadiGUEST
We're gonna talk about the criminal justice system, and we're gonna talk about what that means in the US.
Roxana HadadiGUEST
I think what's hard for me with that characterization for Rez Dogs, and again, this could just be a limitation, is I feel like so much of it is in the shadow of their friend- ... uh, dying by suicide that I, I guess it's hard for me, but I understand what you're saying because so many episodes were like, this is the wacky stuff Willie Jack and Cheese are getting up to, or like Big is discovering the cult of white men having sex with fish or whatever.
Roxana HadadiGUEST
[laughs] But, but I think like thematically for me it always felt so much like a drama.
Kathryn VanArendonkHOST
Oh.
Elena OrtizHOST
It's done with such a light hand and so deftly with the camera, the cinematography, and just sensitivity towards, you know, the characters that this is a real person they're talking about.
Elena OrtizHOST
This is Rokey's mother and this is Jack's sister and you hear her...
Elena OrtizHOST
Or you see her looking at her sister's photograph.
Elena OrtizHOST
They've been living in that house.
Elena OrtizHOST
It's clear that Roki, the niece, has done this before and that she's been sort of trained to do this.
Elena OrtizHOST
But the way it starts out with the two of them, it's just beautiful to see them out there.
Elena OrtizHOST
Then you get introduced to this story about the sister being missing and the tribal cop who is their JJ is Jack's Brother, but half brother.
Elena OrtizHOST
So not not actually related to the father, the grandfather who comes into it in in a bit after that.
Marina AntunesHOST
Yeah, okay.
Steve StebbingHOST
Um, but, uh, yeah, and, uh, Willie Jack's in that fucking movie.
Marina AntunesHOST
[laughs]
Bill HarrisHOST
Yeah.
Steve StebbingHOST
I love W- I love Willie Jack.
Steve StebbingHOST
Uh, and only one use of Skoden in that movie, and it's to rile them up in the end.
Marina AntunesHOST
