🌟 Our heroes walk on the water of Being There, Hal Ashby’s quietly radical political satire starring Peter Sellers as Chance the Gardener, a man whose childlike simplicity just might be profound genius 🪴📺🎩
Andrew and Greg spotlight the enigmatic character of Chance. Is he an empty fool, a divine vessel, or a mirror for America itself? They explore the film’s unexpected connections to the work of Stanley Kubrick—from Dr. Strangelove to 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Shining—and ultimately discuss that iconic ending, the line “Life is a state of mind,” and what it all means.
So put on your best suit, straighten your tie, and get ready to light up the dark… one TV remote at a time. 🎬🌱📺✨
