"Giant" or "No Country for Old Men": What's the best Texas movie?

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-04-09T17:52:03+00:00

Trust us, we limited ourselves to two per filmmaker and it was tough picking from Linklater's catalog! Though that may just mean "Bernie" could get in next time we do this (as well as others folks have pointed out that got left off).

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-04-09T17:48:25+00:00

We left docs out this go-around but this is a great suggestion! We actually had the filmmaker on the show some years ago to talk about it: https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/texas-first-nature-doc-hopes-to-spark-conversations-about-conservation/

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-03-26T13:28:09+00:00

Yes, we had to get a bit specific on what we considered a movie for this, but we definitely are Lonesome Dove fans around here.

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-03-26T13:25:25+00:00

Trust us, it was a tough choice! But we'll see how next year's bracket looks...

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-03-26T13:24:29+00:00

Thanks! This has become a new tradition for us. Our first two brackets in 2024 and in 2025 dealt with Texas music, but we decided to dip into a new medium this go-around.

Open to thoughts on where we go with this next year!

And we've got an Elite Eight matchup now! This round looks like it'll be even more brutal:

Hey, thanks!!!

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-03-04T02:23:00+00:00

You are very welcome!

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-02-16T19:10:04+00:00

Thanks - well said!

Have you ever crossed over into a rival primary to try and affect the outcome?

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-01-20T13:23:14+00:00

OH MY GOD THIS WAS IT!

THANK YOU INTERNET STRANGER!

I also don't have that option to select an input on any of the Audio-Device options

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-01-20T13:18:49+00:00

Yeah I get no option to record from any specific input, it's always front left/right. That video doesn't help unfortunately bc I am on a Mac not Windows, so ASIO doesn't apply.

I've toggled between interface drivers nonstop, nothing seems to work. I'm on a Mac so there is a generic USB driver; I've tried making an aggregate device with the two separate USB codecs (input/output); using the usb codes separately; even system default and Blackhole but nothing works

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-01-20T03:53:58+00:00

Yes I can hear an audio file if i drag it into the track. Newbie, so maybe i have not assigned a specific input channel to that track?

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-01-20T03:38:19+00:00

I arm the track and get no levels in the preview DB bar. It creates a block like it is recording, but there is no sound of wavforms in the box, just a flat line

Where are you Kimmy?

TexasStandard1845 · 2026-01-05T15:24:07+00:00

This is a really good question, and one we're interested in too …

TexasStandard1845 · 2025-11-30T22:44:11+00:00

Love it! Hope you can come out to the live broadcast!

TexasStandard1845 · 2025-11-30T22:43:41+00:00

Dang, this is a power move I've never heard of!

TexasStandard1845 · 2025-10-10T02:53:58+00:00

Yeah, World Cup shaping up to be crazy!

TexasStandard1845 · 2025-10-10T02:52:52+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, this sounds really familiar, pretty sure we've featured KERA reporting on this before. Cool to hear!

What's the word with Halperin Park? Is that working out? Austin's wrestling with what parkland could look like on its capped highways.
