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:-)

Episode 75 Part 1 - Turning Point - The Wrap Up

Hi friends, today we showcase -Turning Point 1977- Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft star here, with some big help from rad defector Mikhail Baryshnikov, Tom Skerritt, Martha Scott Marshall Thompson, and James Mitchell too. The mad scientist that makes evil robot Kiss members in Kiss meets the Phantom of the park pops in for a bit, dressed like Tom Skerritt’s character, and it got confusing for a hot second. I think it was to show that Shirley’s Character had a type, but it was nice to see the Kiss guy. Director here is Herbert Ross, naming a few we got, Boys on the side, steel Magnolias, Footloose, max Dugan Returns, and for us it’s The goodbye girl, the Seven percent solution, the sunshine boys, the Last of Shelia, T.R. Baskin, and the Owl and the pussycat 1970, We will be showcasing him again with the Sunshine Boys 1975.  Our writer here is Arthur Laurents, who is absolutely amazing, and wrote quite a lot of tell all stories about his life in Hollywood. He wrote it all after he came out of the closet so it gets deep and a lil hot too. Arthur was a gay Jewish, once blacklisted writer, so it was too much to be contained in just 1 book.He was born in 1917-and lived for 93 years. He wrote the coded Rope 1948, Home of the brave, West side story, Gypsy, and we reviewed him before in 1973’s The Way we were. Quite happy to showcase this film for y’all, it’s been a minute since we have showcased something. Lots to say soooooooo, why not press play. Fun sentence to write, but I’m sure many of us read while listening, whatever your process, thanks for listening.
