This week, Marc and Pete discuss the new Mortal Kombat movie and violence in media before diving into The American New Wave. This is an era we think can be best described as "Film's Adolescence." Gone are the days of the Hays Code and here are the days of Haze Strains, because its sex, drugs and Rock N' Roll, Baby! We discuss The Graduate, Easy Rider, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and the emergence of Method Acting and American Auteur directors. Finally, we talk about how people might misinterpret this movement as only about the explicit content of sex and violence, but more as a statement on how the world was, where it was going, and trying to answer questions most people didn't even care to think about.

This week, Pete and Marc discuss Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part I and II, as well as Apocalypse Now!, to show what happens when things go right and wrong with an Auteur director. We then compare that to Ridley Scott's Alien, and Ridley Scott himself, whom still seems to have a blank check in Hollywood. Marc then goes off on Michael Cimino and how he single handedly destroyed United Artists with Heaven's Gate. Finally, the guys talk about the godsends of the upcoming Blockbuster Era, Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas, and how corporate comes in to crack down on these hippie-dippie, drug-addled artists.
