About this episode
Devin and James discuss the influential films of 1975 with guest Casey O'Connor.
Devin & James are back, and they're gonna need a bigger podcast. That's why they've brought back special guest CASEY O'CONNOR to discuss the blockbusters and award nominees of 1975! We start with a little film called JAWS, which some of you may have heard of before. We then move on to the Best Picture winner, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, followed by the Kubrick comedy (that's right, I'm calling it a comedy), BARRY LYNDON. We then take a turn toward Altman's NASHVILLE, before ending up in New York City for 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR and DOG DAY AFTERNOON. Along the way, we also give shout-outs to SHAMPOO, THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER, and THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. There must have been something in the water in 1975 (a shark, perhaps?) because these are some of the greatest, most influential, and important films ever made, celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year!
