Ep. 77 The Graduate

This is a deeply personal episode, so indulge us. For their 50th
wedding anniversary, we’re joined by host Christopher Funderburg’s
parents to discuss the film that brought them together: Mike
Nichols’ 1967 countercultural comedy, The Graduate. Along with
co-host John Cribbs, they get into it all: the history of both
their relationship and the film itself. We discuss what the film
meant to their generation, the cultural conflicts between the Los
Angeles types in the film and audiences in Murray Kentucky, the
novel on which the film is based, and (of course) plastics. Support
