The 50-30 Series 01 - Shampoo (teaser)
Manage episode 461246562 series 2892463
In this inaugural show of our brand new 50-30 series where we will be talking about great movies turning 50 and 30 this year we are getting together for a chat about Hal Ashby's Shampoo. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how we thought this movie fits in the 1975 landscape, what it was that elevated it to the status of the third-biggest box office success of its year and whether it may have been a little bit too late to the New Hollywood party. We also spend some time looking for a meaning in this film, try to connect its themes to the conversation about the generational clash at the time of its release and also wonder if there is a plane of symmetry with the current era. On top of that, we do scratch our heads quite a bit wondering if we find Shampoo funny at all too.
