1974: Fifty Years Later. (Introduction to The Series)

Episodes are made available to Patreon subscribers one week before
their general release. {www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke} 1974 was a
landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international
cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still
resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different
guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about,
ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything
else in between. In this introductory episode, hosts Christopher
Funderburg and John Cribbs discuss the idea behind the series and
their relationship to movies from the year 1974. They go over the
biggest films of the year: which were the most successful in terms
of box office, critical success and long-ranging canonization? Why
are these movies still relevant 50 years down the line? Support our
