Hello New Hollywood hippies and malaise monkeys and all the ships at sea and welcome to A Very Good Year. If you’ve been listening you know we’re retiring A Very Good Year and coming back with a whole new show for 2025.
In the meantime we’re looking back at the past 100 episodes by revisiting some of our favorite guests and our favorite movies by decade.
This episode is massive, but it’s the 1970s, arguably the greatest decade for film in the entire short life of the medium. The 70s years were always the first to go when we were booking guests for the show and they do not disappoint.
In this episode we’ve got podcasting superhero Blake Howard, author Charles Bramesco, author Alexandra Heller-Nichols, production designer Judy Becker who is currently getting rave reviews for The Brutalist, filmmaker Zach Clark, writer Jason Diamond, podcaster Brian Saur, writer/director Isabel Sandoval, historian Kevin Kruse, critic Sean Burns, writer/director and actor Noah Seegan, writer Alexandra West, critic Jordan Hoffman, media superstar Soraya Nadia McDonald, critic Katie Rife, author Scott Drebit, and director of photography Bradford Young with what might be the movie that has impacted me the most across the entire series.
Enjoy!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
