Episode 23: 1967

Send us a text

This week we go back in time and look at the Best Picture nominations of 1967 and we are really excited to talk about them:

• Bonnie and Clyde
• The Graduate
• In the Heat of the Night
• Doctor Doolittle
• Guess Who's Coming for Dinner

Plus a few other categories we felt needed to be added to the Oscar list like Comedy Gold, The Independent Darling, and Who Did It Best!

This week we discuss Carlos nearly crashing out because he didn't understand that the first two and half minutes of Doctor Doolittle which only had a black screen and music was an entr'acte and wasn't actually a broken or corrupted version of the movie on Amazon he spent money to watch. Side-note, Carlos didn't like Doctor Doolittle. We also discuss the prevalence of Western movies during this time period despite their fading popularity, Anne Bancroft's angry reaction to Dustin Hoffman's "romantic" wedding crashing in The Graduate, and our love for King Kong Escapes, the Inoshiro Honda kaiju masterpiece where King Kong fights a mechanized version of King Kong...and other monsters.

Want to be part of the excitement, listen and find out who we think could have been added to the Best Picture list! Was the Academy right?  Do you agree with our correct assessments? Listen and find out!  Don't forget to follow us on any of the major social media at theretrospodcast.
