The movie
Show notes
Jack Nicholson was one of the biggest stars of the 70's. This week, Jon and David take a look at the film that cemented Jack as a star, FIVE EASY PIECES. The Boys are deep-diving his performance as Robert Dupea, an aimless man distraught by the banality of life in the dirt as well as among the elite. The Lads talk Jack’s appeal as an everyman, his talent as a leading man, and the film’s appeal to audiences post-Vietnam. Plus, the eternal struggle between fathers and sons, our favorite members of The Monkees, and our newest favorite video store! Be sure to tell the waitress where to hold the chicken salad, it’s FIVE EASY PIECES!
