After an extended break, your favorite exes are back! And we’re kicking off an entire season of guest-filled episodes with the multi-talented musician/producer Erik Blood! His pick for Guest Fest 2019? It’s Robert Altman’s fantastic neo-noir fool’s journey, The Long Goodbye (1973). Based on the Raymond Chandler novel and starring Elliott Gould before he was Ross and Monica’s dad, this sometimes-funny, sometimes-shocking detective story is pure Altman with its overlapping dialogue, gorgeous cinematography, and committed performances. Join us for some great cat acting, a peek into Courtney Love’s video rental habits, and a Jimmy Stewart impression that’s worse than our own, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
