WARNING: Our feature presentation this week, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, features suicide and other topics that listeners may be sensitive to.
Welcome to Episode 1 of Film Explorers, a podcast about exploring the bounds of cinema! In this episode, hosts Jackson, Joey, and Josh discuss One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the winner of Best Picture at the 48th Academy Awards in 1976. We talk the evolution of Hollywood's portrayals of mental illness throughout the decades since, Jack Nicholson's and Louise Fletcher's Oscar-winning performances, and Nicholson's horrible drip (HE WEARS SHORTS OVER HIS JEANS!!!). Joey also announces his pick for Best Picture Month at the end of the episode.
Other topics include: our instant reactions to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Jackson's Indiana Jones journey, and Joey's constant rewatching of the Harry Potter franchise.
