Two Lane Blacktop

This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Jonathan and Michael check under the hood for the 1971 cult classic "Two Lane Blacktop."

We were joined this week by film critic extraordinaire and author of "Sofia Coppola: The Complete Unofficial Guide," Christina Newland.

We talked with Christina about director Monte Hellman's existential approach to filmmaking, Mr. Warren Oates' wonderful performance, the more "wooden" acting from James Taylor and Dennis Wilson, and, most of all, the film's exploration of masculinity, aimlessness, searching for the next high, and the uniquely American phenomenon of the road movie. This was a great discussion with a fantastic guest!

So peel some hard-boiled eggs, grab your mechanic, and come join us for the latest episode of That '70s Movie Podcast.
