Listen "1967: The Heat of the Graduate"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to New Hollywood, listeners! The Academy goes for tense, racially charged In The Heat of the Night, where Sidney Poitier announces "They call me Mr. Tibbs" and helps a hick southern sheriff solve a murder. It's gripping, it's powerful, it brings up some sad thoughts for Erin, Claire, and Dan in the wake of recent events in Canada. Then on the lighter side, Dustin Hoffman makes his AVA debut in The Graduate, a blend of bleak and very funny that your co-hosts fall for partially because the characters are very unlikable. The Hayes Code is dead, the Studio Bosses have fallen, and boundaries get pushed as the New Hollywood era begins!
