About this episode

Evan and Ward discuss the film 'Sheep Detective' with guest Smirkgently, exploring its inspirations and cast.

Joined this week by friend of the show, Smirkgently, Evan and Ward talk about 2026's "Sheep Detective" loosely inspired by the book, "Three Bags Full" and starring Hugh Jackman, with Nicholas Braun, Ncholas Galitzine and Emma Thompson. Evan and Ward ride handle Smirk's cutting wit and brilliant discourse without Bill this week (which is why there isn't a more detailed description of the episode since he wasn't there and now you know who to blame when synopsizes aren't written and art isn't uploaded).
