This month, we’re talking about 60s and 70s Hollywood; the old masters giving their last efforts for a dying system, and the new filmmakers who changed everything.
We start with Howard Hawks’ slow and steady reworking of his greatest screwball works from decades before, Man’s Favorite Sport? A Late Style Object if there ever was one. We got into Hawks’ undying instincts for the essentials of great cinema, like when a bear rides a dirt bike. Also, did Howard Hawks invent the wet t-shirt contest?
Then, on everybody’s favorite segment, MITM, we got into Party Girl, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, Letterboxd, and Kundun.
