The Last Picture Show (AFI #95)

In which we learn that Dave is just like Sarah Jessica Parker.

"The scene where Sam imparts his wisdom to young buck Bottoms may be the saddest, loveliest moment in 1970s American cinema. And that's saying something."

Tom Huddleston of Time Out speaks much more elegantly about Sam than we do, but we have more fun. We invite guest Derek Stewart of The Grand Gesture and Your List, My Command to talk about a formative film for him, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW!  We talk about a little bit of everything; including the difference between big city and small town living, toxic adults, and our radically different tastes in women. Oh yeah, I guess this movie that is rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes is pretty good, too.

Join us in our discussion of THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, one of the most heralded pictures of maybe the greatest decade in modern cinema.  No pressure.
