Episode description
This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Michael and Jonathan put on their platform shoes, don their favorite sequined shirts, and turn on the strobe lights for a spirited conversation about the 1977 film "Looking For Mr. Goodbar," starring Diane Keaton (RIP).
In this episode, we heap praise on Keaton, not only for her bravura performance in this film but also for her courageous artistic choices and growth as an actor.
We reached less consensus on Looking For Mr. Goodbar's occasionally muddled social and political messages. We disagreed on whether Goodbar has a pro-feminist slant or is a regressive film that ducks hard questions -- especially in its choice of villains.
But give it a listen and tell us what you think!
