The Pledge
Send us Fan Mail This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Jonathan and Michael go fishing for the 2001 neo-noir thriller, The Pledge. One of the podcast's founding credos is that not every '70s film was made in the 1970s—and few modern movies embody the ethos of '70s filmmaking quite like "The Pledge." Moral ambiguity, a flawed male protagonist, and a decidedly bleak ending ... The Pledge has it all! We were particularly impressed by Jack Nicholson's restrained, against-type performance, but dis...

Mean Streets
Send us Fan Mail This week on "That '70s Movie Podcast," Jonathan and Michael prepare to atone for their sins with the 1973 Martin Scorsese classic, "Mean Streets." While we both enjoyed the feel and craft of this movie, we had slightly mixed feelings about it. Michael saw it more as a vibe than a movie and felt it was largely a collection of vignettes organized around a plot—and Jonathan thought that is precisely what makes the film so great! Both of us had enormous praise for Scorsese's leg...

The Candidate
Send us Fan Mail This week on "That '70s Movie Podcast," Jonathan and Michael hit the hustings for the 1972 political satire, "The Candidate." With ten weeks to go until the midterms, what better time to revisit this classic take on the inner workings of a political campaign? We both loved Robert Redford's performance as Bill McKay, though we slightly disagreed on whether he is a sympathetic character caught up in the dog-and-pony show of electoral politics or a willing participant. We also w...

Dirty Harry
Send us Fan Mail This week on "That '70s Movie Podcast," Jonathan and Michael are on the prowl for the 1971 action-thriller "Dirty Harry." We had mixed feelings about this film, with Jonathan offering qualified praise for its first 71 minutes and Michael unequivocally labeling it a fascist movie. In fairness, Jonathan called the third act a "catastrophic train wreck," but he liked the night-for-night shooting and thought the first two-thirds of the movie was an extremely effective...

The Day Of The Jackal
Send us Fan Mail This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Michael and Jonathan play cat and mouse with the 1973 political thriller, "The Day of the Jackal." After several weeks of character-driven movies that led us to conclude plot-shmot, we both agreed that this movie leans into the plot and declares quite assuredly—character-schmaracter. We loved how the process in the film—both the assassination plan and the police investigation—is the payoff, and what a payoff it is! Even though we kn...

Night Moves
Send us Fan Mail This week on "That '70s Movie Podcast," Jonathan and Michael dive into the water for the 1975 neo-noir thriller, "Night Moves." This is one of Jonathan's favorite movies, and it shows! He talked with great passion about the enigma of Harry Moseby (played by Gene Hackman), his complicated relationship with Ellen, and Harry's consistent ability to connect the dots but miss the bigger picture. Michael enjoyed the movie as well, and while he particularly loved Alan Sharp's dialog...

Jaws
Send us Fan Mail This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Michael and Jonathan jump in the ocean for the 1975 thriller, "Jaws." Though we usually see eye to eye (or at least close to it), it was "disagreement" week on the podcast. Michael argued that Jaws is peak joyride filmmaking, with great character development, director Steven Spielberg's masterful ratcheting up of suspense and tension, and the film's bravura set-pieces. Jonathan praised the editing and cinematography, but found the movie a...

Love and Death & The "Early Funny Ones"
Send us Fan Mail This week on "That 70s Movie Podcast," Jonathan and Michael hit the frontlines for Woody Allen's 1975 comedy classic "Love and Death" and also his four other "early funny ones" - "Take the Money and Run," "Bananas", "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (*But Were Afraid to Ask)," and "Sleeper." It's not often we talk about five different films in one sitting, but tackling Allen's early comedy movies gave us a chance to chart his evolution as a filmmaker, chronicle ...
