Richard Arvin Overton is 110 years old, still walks, still drives, and enjoys a cigar — but never inhales. He pays cash for whatever he buys, lives in the house he built in 1945, and hasn't bought a new car since the 70s. Of a morning, Richard has about four cups of coffee and maybe a sip of whiskey.

Filmmakers Matt Copper and Rocky Conly sat down with Richard to talk about longevity, what keeps him going, and his military service.

Founded in 1984 by Argentine brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, Reef has evolved from a passion project into a leading name in casual footwear. Their vision was to craft high-quality, ultra-comfortable sandals that seamlessly transition from beach to street, embodying the essence of a laid-back, beach-centric lifestyle. Today, Reef's commitment extends beyond footwear; the brand is dedicated to ocean conservation and preserving our beaches, recognizing the intrinsic link between well-being and coastal environments. Offering a wide variety of footwear — including sandals, slides, shoes, boots, and flip-flops — Reef delivers comfort and style for everything from beach strolls to everyday adventures, all while supporting environmental stewardship. That includes their women-specific Vista collection, which employs their signature footbed in styles and silhouettes like clogs, platform sandals, and slides that pair as well with a dress and a cocktail as they do with a swimsuit and sand.
Trashie's Take Back Bag is the easiest way to get rid of clothing and other textiles you do not need anymore. Simply buy a bag (or a bundle of them) fill it up, mail it back, and Trashie will ensure those items never make it to landfills, rerouting them to third-party retailers Trashie individually vets for compatibility. That means your old T-shirt, depending on its condition, could end up going to someone in need or being broken down to create carpet padding or pet bed filling, among other things. You earn exactly $30 in TrashieCash for each bag you send back, which you can redeem for deals — direct cash equivalent or a certain percentage off — to buy yourself new things from your favorite brands.

The latest video essay from Glass Distortion puts scenes from Mann's Heat and Nolan's The Dark Knight side-by-side to show the influences on — and references to — Mann's film.
