PODCAST

A decade under the influence

We watch 70"s movies and do two things: 1: We give commentary along with the movie that may or may not correspond with whats going on (we"re the people that talk through the whole f***ing movie) 2: We give a short review of the film and give our observations, some context, and how it lines up with other films of the era. We really enjoy 70"s cinema and want to expose you to it as well:-)

Today, your D.U.I. crew takes on the other huge mini series of the 70’s Holocaust 1978. It aired for 4 consecutive nights form April 16 to April 19th 1978. It was created and written by Gerald Green. Very interesting person, and also mini series, to say the very least about it, because you can just press play and hear all about it. We will be discussing the plot which centers around the fictional family Weiss but is based on real life events, it is heavy but important stuff to get on the tape and

Roots 1977- Shot of espresso is freshly downed, cracks knuckles, let’s go. Today your decade under the influence crew takes on the mini series Roots, which came into our living rooms for 8 nights starting on jan 23 1977. I remember watching at least some of this with my parents and four sisters at the young age of 6, so I think it was probably mandatory family viewing, in mine and in most cool family homes. It is a lil interesting to think how everyone read about this in their TV guides or in the

Anyway it stars Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn, and Robert Wagner, in a plot that involves money, hijinks, and car crashes, and I’m just guessing. Next up we have (Buck and the preacher 1972).

Well this all starts with me going to goodwill over 20 years ago and getting a book on films. It has a picture of Darth Vader walking down the middle of the street with a bunch of young peeps and Diahann Carroll. It looks fierce AF, and just like the film for me. It also looks like a big picture, so why was it buried. I couldn’t get a copy, and there was little info on it. Made me want it more. So years later when I score a copy, expectations were very high.

Espresso fueled quick review synopsis. Seven more 70’s movies to review for you today. Let’s begin with Lee Remick, some Fonda’s and Paul Newman in the film adaptation of Ken Kesey’s (Sometimes a great notion 1972) The review will be a breeze and we’ll all agree because this story isn’t dark or complex in any way. Next up is an even more light hearted romp about a scared teens journey to try to get an abortion. (To find a man 1972) is another film we all completely agree on and there is zero

Six more 70’s movie reviews for you, and they are more disconnected than usual. It doesn’t matter but usually our movie reviews have at least a lil thread that combines at least some of them, consciously or unconsciously. I guess 2 of these do, gawd. Anyway let’s start. First up is (Cotton comes to Harlem 1970), an early blaxploitation film that is as weird as the term blaxploitation. We are ongoing in our efforts to unpack the term Blaxploitation, but we try to unpack this movie here today as best
