See Hear Podcast episode 37 - American Pop

See Hear podcast begins its fourth year with the discussion of an
animated work from a revered observer of counter culture in the
seventies, Ralph Bakshi.   In 1981 he released American Pop.
It’s a film about four generations of a family originally migrated
to America to escape Tsarist Russia. The son of each generation
finds his own link to music, but at great cost. It’s about
parallels to American music and history in the twentieth century.
It’s about family lineage and how each generation is distant from
the values of the previous one while still finding common ground.
  On episode 37, Tim, Bernard and Maurice discuss how
successfully a 90 minute film can achieve in telling a story scoped
over a 60 year period. They discuss the look of the animation
compared to other American animation of the period. Does the film
successfully achieve what it set out to do? Tune in for their
thoughts on the subject.   You can download the show by
