Coming off the successes of The Graduate and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, director Mike Nichols could have done anything he wanted. He chose to reunite with Graduate screenwriter Buck Henry to adapt the ambitious and satirical Joseph Heller war novel Catch-22. When that film was met with critical and commercial indifference (it's since become a cult favorite), Nichols then turned his sights to more familiar terrain -- the relationship drama Carnal Knowledge from 1971.
Armed with a cast of actors ripe for their breakout moment, Nichols fashioned a searing, funny and frank look at contemporary relationships that had a local theater owner in Georgia getting arrested and the Georgia Supreme Court accusing the film of obscenity.
Dan and Vicky are back after some time away with a look at the Jack Nicholson, Art Garfunkel, Candice Bergen and Ann-Margret starring film. Dan also talks about his recent play in Chicago (including the on stage accident that nearly ended it all), his new super GAY off-Broadway project and the slasher movie icon he recently ran into. Vicky talks X-Files and her newest idea for getting YOU involved in the podcast.
