EPISODE 170: Francis Ford Coppola. The name alone conjures up iconic images: Marlon Brando's chilling stare, helicopters thundering over Vietnam, and a young Al Pacino taking over the family business. But beyond the Godfather films lies a treasure trove of Coppola's work from the 70s and 80s.
In this episode, Jason and guest Megan Kearns delve into five of his most intriguing films from this period:
- The Conversation (1974): A paranoid surveillance expert gets tangled in a web of deceit with chilling consequences.
- Apocalypse Now (1979): Coppola's epic journey into the heart of darkness of the Vietnam War.
- Rumble Fish (1983): A stylish and introspective look at teenage alienation starring Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke.
- Peggy Sue Got Married (1986): A housewife gets transported back to her high school days in a delightful time-travel comedy.
- Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988): The true story of visionary car designer Preston Tucker and his fight against the Detroit giants.
Join us as we:
- Debate the merits of each film: Is Apocalypse Now a masterpiece of cinema or a bloated spectacle?
- Uncover hidden gems: Is Rumble Fish an underrated coming-of-age story?
- Analyze Coppola's directorial choices: How does his style evolve throughout these films?
- Laugh, cry, and maybe even argue: Get ready for some passionate Coppola commentary!
So, buckle up, Binge Lords! This episode promises a wild ride through the mind of a cinematic legend.
