Tonight’s episode of Nightcaps at the Theater is a celebration of dichotomy. Young vs. Old, Highs vs. Lows, and Life Vs. Death. In honor of a recent birthday and in preparation for the countless new possibilities that lay ahead, host Jonathan Kwiatkowski, has dusted off his favorite film of all time for his fellow cohosts and beloved listeners. On the Marquee this round is Hal Ashby’s effervescent, yet charmingly maudlin comedy Harold and Maude (1971). Join us as we take a look into Harold’s penchant for driving hearses, attempting suicide, and playing the banjo on a journey of self-discovery. A voyage inspired by none other than the oderific toting, doughnut wheeling, life loving, Maude. Through the discussions pertaining to disaster dates, funeral squatting, and anti-war sentiments, dear listeners, don’t forget to take a page out of Maude’s book too and “L-I-V-E! Live! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.”
Tonight, on the Marquee:
“When Chita Rivera Calls You a Racist … you should just end it.”
“I thought she was Linda Hunt” – Mark’s Critique of Ruth Gordon
“I Think this is My Favorite Suicide attempt in the Film”
“They’re Smoking a hooker!” – Matt’s ideal post-date Activity
