Jackie and Greg swoop in like vultures to pick the meat off "Bloody Sam" Peckinpah's revisionist western from 1969. Topics of conversation include Peckinpah's personal life, Old Hollywood vs. New Hollywood, the film's staginess, the magic of Warren Oates, and why Peckinpah's face deserves to be blasted down off the Mount Rushmore of "Great American Filmmakers". You've never heard them this vicious.
#84 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.

Previous Episode
Breathless (À bout de souffle) [1960]
Jackie and Greg finally get to the first Jean-Luc Godard on the list, BREATHLESS (À bout de souffle) from 1960. Topics of discussion include the film's innovative editing, why it's considered the pinnacle of the French New Wave, how the actors themselves are intended to be more interesting than the characters they're playing, and why this ranks as one of Jackie's favorite films of all time.

Next Episode
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial [1982] with Robert Macnaughton // Personal Prints
Jackie and Greg are back for a very special episode this week, as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL. Topics of discussion include its origins as “A Boy’s Life”, the storybook look and feel, how John Williams’ score elevates the film to opera, and why it’s endured for 40 years as an evergreen classic. Stay tuned for the second half of the episode where they sit down with actor Robert Macnaughton, who plays the older brother Michael, as he reflects on his time making the film and the impact it continues to have to this day.
The continuation of our "Personal Prints" series where Jackie and Greg venture off the Sight & Sound “Top 100” list to explore films that are special and/or formative to them.
