Supply Run

Supply Run is the sixth episode of the first season of Living Free. Written and Directed by star Mike Barkhoff, it co-stars Dylan Van Hauen, and is set to premiere October 29th, 2021.

Plot
Mike calls Dylan and invites him to ride along with him for film supplies, the first contact the former has made since their argument in the prior episode. Dylan makes a video via cell phone about information on the fight, saying he is recording it for potential required records if Mike is coming to kill him.

The duo meet up, and Mike apologizes, offering to take Dylan out to eat after they get film supplies. Mike discusses how he feels like he has enormous weight on his shoulders and admits feeling different lately, likening his artistic state to Dr. Dre's during the time period of "I Need A Doctor". At the end, the duo make amends.

Dylan gets out of the car to perform some stunts for his film project.

Production
Barkhoff was inspired by his other series Chapters. to make an episode that was unique. Originally intending for Episode 3, Business Call, to be 'regular', this was to be the unique episode. Ultimately, the season ended with two unique episodes, as this one is filmed vertically as opposed to horizontally.

Variant
The episode was featured as a Bonus Feature on January 10th, 2022, when the Original Variant was released. The Variant features a shorter runtime due to being completed before Barkhoff concocted reshoot ideas.

Reception
The episode held the highest of the series for views in it's first thirty minutes. The episode holds an 8.8/10 on IMDb from 20 reviews. This is the second lowest rated episode, following Business Call.

Clarke Accloades critiqued the episode as "one too many odd installments", but did positively review the comedic timing, although lamenting the episode lacked enough. Clarke also suggested the dialogue felt flat at times, therefore feeling like a bloated episode. Clarke, however, gave the episode a 7/10.
