The Lowdown Slowdown: Episode 2 Recap

In Episode 2 of "The Lowdown Slowdown," Christian and Kurt dive into The Lowdown's "The Devil's Mama" with newly stoked enthusiasm for all things J.J. Cale and Tulsa. We're particularly fired up about the continued musical choices, calling out two more J.J. Cale needle drops. The brothers bring their insider Tulsa perspective to scenes like the gas station and draw from their very real experiences at Tulsa's Center of the Universe. We analyze Ethan Hawke's increasingly battered appearance, celebrate Dale Dickey's performance as the "Devil's Mama," and geek out over Ken Pomeroy's casting as Dale's daughter. We dig into craft details like "Lee Raybon-core," Jesse Ed Davis's "Keep Me Comin'" and the show's immaculate dialogue and constant sources of pure comedy.
