Hosted by Meetinghouse Productions, Inc. · EN
Proudly independent and ad-free since 2018, the Full Cast and Crew Podcast stands out in a crowded field by focussing on emotional reactions to films as much as it shares the entertaining anecdotes behind their making and seeks to place movie in context with our shared experiences as filmgoers coming of age in the 70's and 80's and beyond.

Jun 2301:22:51Tap to summarizeSidney Lumet and Naomi Foner (and Executive Producers Griffin Dunne and Lisa Robinson) took what in lesser hands would be a family melodrama and allowed it to become an incredibly mature, layered, complicated story resting entirely on the capable shoulders of its cast of wonderful actors...not least 17-year-olds Martha Plimpton and River Phoenix, a couple off-screen and on.

287. 'Billy Jack' (1971)
Jun 901:32:17Tap to summarizeGO AHEAD AND HATE YOUR NEIGHBOR/GO AHEAD AND CHEAT A FRIEND..... The dramatic and soaring vocals of Coven's Jinx Dawson are forever associated with Tom Laughlin's oddball, enduring, sometimes muddled statement on non-violence and the ways of the White Man and the Natives, 'Billy Jack'. How and why this film struck a nerve upon its director-assisted wide release in 1971 is the stuff of Hollywood legend. Upon rewatch, I found the more improvised scenes featuring non-actors surprisingly effective and the film as a whole curiously immune from cynicism.
