This week Elena and Sam bring a somewhat *ahem* personal touch to the podcast in discussing Paul Mazursky’s tale of two upper-class couples in the late 60s doing what swingin’ 60s couples were wont to doooo. The New Hollywood touches are myriad with this film from the styles of acting on display, the particular performers chosen for the project (first appearance of New Hollywood Icon Elliott Gould for example), as well as the visible influence of the flower child sensibilities on even the most straitlaced of couples. Topics include: Natalie Wood as avatar for changing American Womanhood, EST, and Sam & Elena's own experiences with ethical non-monogamy.
