Midnight Cowboy is a Time Capsule That Can't Be Rebooted (1x9)

Udgivelsesdato: Sep 11, 2023

The late '60s marked the beginning of a new era in Hollywood, and Midnight Cowboy was right in the middle of it. The 1969 film from John Schesinger follows a swaggering small town Texas stud trying to make it as a hustler in Manhattan, and the unlikely relationship he discovers with a con-man. Jon Voigt and Dustin Hoffman turn in amazing performances, but the most incredible thing about the film is how perfectly and inextricably it fits into its place and time. With Alex a bit under the weather, Clint and Cal break down the Oscar nominated editing, relentless gum-chewing, and the concept of the horny grandma that's peppered throughout this Best Picture winner.
