Content

Will & Hesse are joined by Episode 1’s Andrew Hudson to discuss Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) and Nashville (1975). One an unconventional & drearily romantic western, one a sprawling conversational epic following 24 characters across 5 days leading up to the bicentennial in Nashville, both hilarious and haunting expressions of Altman’s vision of America in the 1970’s.

NEXT WEEK: it’s greased up 'n gritty 80’s Clint Eastwood with Sudden Impact (1983) & Tightrope (1984)

Still not sure what movie mindset is

Eon Gattignolo

this theme song fucking rules

Barton Dudlick

Never loved Nashville but enjoyed your discussion. McCabe & Mrs Miller is an all-time great film about America.

I live in Nashville and I think this is one of the classics that could not be remade but revisisted. Bachelorette parties, rich developers, insane politicians. And people from NY, CA, and the Midwest moving here to pursue their country music and red state dreams. Nashville isn’t near as conservative as outsiders think we are. We were a blue island in a red state until we were recently redistricted into GOP control. P.S. a lot more Brits like country than I ever imagined. Kinda odd to me.

make a separate patreon tier for this content. lots of us do not care about it and don't want to pay for it. i am here to pay for the OG content, not an unrelated side project.

What is your complaint? You aren't paying anything more, and you're still getting your regularly scheduled slop every week. Just ignore it if you don't want to listen.

Happened to catch MASH recently on one of the streaming channels, and while the homophobic and sexist shit is stupid and annoying it still holds up pretty well, particularly the subversively skewered football game with jocks smoking blunts.

Jason Chapa

Folks this was a great episode.

For me it’s the understanding that movies are like books in that they are a snap of a time/place/mindset and they don’t have to be “good” to enjoy watching them. The show has certainly given me a new appreciation for movies

Scott Grabel

McCabe sounds similar to Trump’s grandfather’s story as a pimp in Alaska exchanging women for literal gold dust.

Needs a postscript episode with Felix to discuss Altman’s Gosford Park.

Sean Marshall

Really should have been called "Sweet Idahome"

This pot is making you aggressive Altman

wills dad was way cooler than mine--my first deep, rated R movie was ConAir

The only Altman movie I've seen is Popeye, which always struck me as really unique film, but it sounds like that's just Altman's style. Nice.

Burlack Sapp

Gotta grab a Princess Swish and listen in

Allen Butt

Phenomenal episode, & thank you for giving me the idea to rewatch Nashville this weekend. The only thing that made my hackles rise was the statement that 3 Women is "the original Mulholland Drive," when the original 3 Women/Mulholland drive is Persona.

To be fair you probably had to smoke all day just to get a buzz off that 70s brick

Series is great. Fwiw, I don't think Miler gives a shit about McCabe other than as a paycheck. Source: myself knowing lots of junkie hookers.

etienne

most of those movie mindset episodes, so good i listened twice so far

My favorite movie as a kid. It turned out to be an Altman gateway drug.

Altman is GOATed but Andrew is being a bit charitable on Bob’s personal life/how he interacted with people. Cassavetes actually casted Lynn Carlin in FACES because he felt bad for her being Altman’s secretary and overhearing him screaming at her!

Fell a little behind, but I am so glad I am doing this, I felt physically ill at the end of Nashville. I have never had such a visceral reaction to a movie before. I really. Just seeing everyone move on without much issue just felt so real and presiciant. I’m excited to here what you have to say about these movies.

Adam Foster

was inspired to watch Nashville before I listened to the podcast and I just have to set right a misconception about Barbara Jean’s church: she’s not at a failing church she’s at the hospital chapel/church which is why the soldier and the man whose wife is dying are there

Brad Plumb

I have been obsessed with McCabe and Mrs. Millers since I saw it on a midnight movie on my local station in the 90's. It is so great to finally hear other people talking about it.

Going from Altman to Cassavetes sounds like jumping from the fying pan into the fire to me

PIPPA TANDY

Loved this. Nashville is one of my top ten. Can you please do The Night of the Hunter, which is another?

There was actually a Nashville studio musician named Pig https://variety.com/2022/music/obituaries-people-news/hargus-pig-robbins-dead-nashville-country-hall-famer-bob-dylan-1235167182/

McCabe ends like a lot of Altman’s films but I’m thinking here of The Player here specifically. It circles in on itself. The green vase at the end and the way it’s being moved in her hand and the motion of it is exactly like the opening when McCabe walks out of trees and how the credits float across the screen. The implication being that she had been through all of what’s just happened before and she can see the same story play out on the surface of the vase. She takes the drugs to drench the memories in colour.
