Our Feature Presentation: A Cinema Speculation Podcast (New Hollywood in the Seventies: Easy Rider and M*A*S*H)

It's the antiestablishment post-sixties auteurs vs the cinema brats! Cauldrons of creativity! Laps of luxury! Was Dennis Hopper the next Orson Welles? Which famous director was beaten up by members of the Hell's Angels MC? Did you get to be Vinnie Barbarino when you played Welcome Back, Kotter on the playground?

All this and more will be assessed and addressed as Don and Pat discuss Easy Rider and M*A*S*H on this week's The Academy Academy!
