My Son Gizmo

It’s been a while, beloved listeners! Thank you so much for your patience while we worked on this one, but the time has finally come for Sneople episode 80! This week, we’re talking Film of the 70’s!

After a What We Sneep covering what Ezra's seen this summer since they missed the last episode, our hosts dive right into some hits of the 70’s and what makes them stand out, including The Godfather, All the President’s Men, Jaws (our friend Jaws), Fiddler on the Roof, and many more. From there, the conversation turns to changes in filmcraft, especially notable with the removal of the Hays Code right before the decade, and the emergence of both new genres and new directors. As is our wont, we then discuss how society impacts culture and what that meant for the 70’s (Watergate, anyone?) and finish up on the lighter note of 70’s beauty ideals in film.

Surprising no one, there’s a lot of talk mixed into this ep about how Al Pacino is 1) SO good and 2) SO little. They mean it lovingly if that helps.
