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.
