Nashville
Episode description
This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Jonathan and Michael had a worry-free conversation about the 1975 Robert Altman classic, "Nashville." We were joined by Northwestern University Communications Studies professor Heather Hendershot, who is the author of a recent BFI book on the movie.
While Jonathan and Heather had nothing but praise for a film widely considered Altman's masterpiece, Michael took issue with "Nashville's" slow pacing and languid plotting. Where we did agree is on the brilliance of Lily Tomlin's performance, our appreciation for Haven Hamilton, and how effectively the film captures America at a crossroads as the country prepared to celebrate its bicentennial.
So for the sake of the children, give this episode a listen, because, after all, you can never get enough of That '70s Movie Podcast!
