This week on that '70s Movie Podcast, Jonathan and Michael are on a mission ... to talk about the 1967 neo-noir classic "Point Blank."
Yes, we know this is not officially a '70s film, but in its structure, themes, and vibe, it fits very much with the New Hollywood of the 1970s. In fact, as we discuss in this episode, "Point Blank" laid the foundation for the cinematic renaissance to come.
We also traversed familiar terrain as we discussed how much of the film is real, how much is a dream, and whether it really matters. We had nothing but praise for the stars of the film, Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson, as well as for director John Boorman, in what was his first major motion picture.
"Point Blank" is today a cult classic and for good reason. It's simply a phenomenal film, so join us as we make footsteps in discussing this gem of a movie!
As always, please leave a review and let us know what you think of the episode!
