The One-Two punch that began New Hollywood continues with the suburban dramedy, “The Graduate”. This sophomore effort from director Mike Nichols is a highly quotable tale of a listless youngster falling into an affair with first the wife, and then daughter of a family friend. The movie still resonates (for some people at least…), due in no small part to the bravura performances by Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft, as well as the haunting Simon and Garfunkel score. Topics include: depression, plaaaastics, and if sleeping with your partner’s mom would be a dealbreaker.

This gorgeous yet impenetrable film was a crucial turning point bridging the early hippie-influenced films of the late 60s with the more cynical and popular mainstream cinema that came to define the 1970s. We are joined by Stephen Lee Naish, author of two different books discussing this week’s subject - Create or Die: Essays on the Films of Dennis Hopper, and Music and Sound in the Films of Dennis Hopper. So enjoy listening to someone actually qualified to talk about this stuff for a change! Topics include: American New Wave vs. New Hollywood, Jorge Luis Borges, and Charles Manson.…

More than half of the episode gets spent just gabbing about the our favorite classic film romances, as well as what it even means to be “romantic”. Topics include: Instagram, Erich Segal’s alleged populism, and literacy rates then vs. now.

This episode could prove extra confusing if you haven’t actually seen the movie given that: not only is it relatively obscure, its only reason to exist is as a comment on the 1958 Hitchcock masterwork Vertigo.
