You Watched It WrongThe Material Shittiness of the '70sLevi Stahl is known primarily as a book person, through his prominent position at University of Chicago Press, his blog I’ve Been Reading Lately, but also for his Twitter feed (@levistal), where he primarily excerpts and comments on all things literary. As a special guest of YWIW, Levi explains to Wade and Siggy why “The secret theme of every ‘70s movie is the material shittiness of the ‘70s”, the concept is exemplified by 1976’s The Bad News Bears and 1978’s remake of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, with a long digression into 1977's Smokey and The Bandit.

Through those years he’s been sort of a zelig figure: you can find his face somewhere in the margins of every one of the medium’s key aesthetic revolutions. He’s rescued beautiful forgotten nuggets of radio history, and he’s delicately arranged them...2017-10-1800 min
