This week, the boys headed to 1970 to the new decade of the new wave of American independent cinema! Bob Rafelson’s “Five Easy Pieces” established the behavior-driven, theme-over-plot indie movies that paved the way for the best era for indies. Jack Nicholson is a badass (asshole) prodigy-turned-roustabout looking to find himself in people he’s willing to screw over in Bob Rafelson’s seminal movie. After John fires off some mini-reviews and news, we set up the film year of 1970 before we drink beers and try to keep our conversation positive!
