Schrader Ep. 8: Old Boyfriends (1979) with Marya E. Gates

Hey listener, it's been a while. How have you been? Do you ever think about me? Just kidding it's a new episode on Joan Tewkesbury's sole feature film, OLD BOYFRIENDS, written by Paul and Leonard Schrader! Who better to join us on this exploration of women's experience in New Hollywood than writer, Online Film Culture Titan and the inventor of #AYearWithWomen, Marya E. Gates (@oldfilmsflicker)??? Join us for a wide-ranging conversation on everything from the film's rediscovery and restoration to Schrader's reaction to the 2022 Sight & Sound poll to Keith Carradine being really hot to the social function of movie gifs on Tumblr. It's a great ep and we hope you'll enjoy it! If you don't, please don't hire Buck Henry to find our home addresses!!!
