AltmaniaA Perfect Couple (1979)We've reached our final Altman movie of the 1970s! It's a romantic comedy starring Paul Dooley and Marta Heflin; it's quirky, weird, funny, and a little messy. We talk about all that stuff, plus Este shares a very funny first date story, and we just have a very fun time chatting about this movie. Hope you like it!
What a crazy trip it's been so far (keep an eye out next week for a bonus episode 1970s retrospective, that'll be very fun).

2023-12-131h 47AltmaniaQuintet (1979)This one's maybe our goofiest episode yet, we're talking about Altman's 1979 sci-fi postapocalyptic gambling thriller set in the future, starring Paul Newman. We get into the rushed and weird production of this movie, including why it has 4 credited writers. And we also just joke around a lot and talk about what made this movie feel so bizarre and out of place in Altman's filmography. Really fun episode, peace and love!!!!!

2023-12-071h 41AltmaniaA Wedding (1978)We've returned from our thanksgiving break to visit the first of what we call Altman's "dark age", it's A Wedding. We get into wedding movies, how this movie was written by 3 people, and just gush over how funny and weird this one is. We recommend everybody check this out, it's hard to find but hopefully it can get restored someday.

2023-11-171h 43AltmaniaBuffalo Bill and the Indians or Sitting Bull’s History Lesson (1976)It's a chill week here on Altmania as we come down from our Nashville high. We get into this underappreciated Altman / Paul Newman joint and also get into what doesn't work for this movie and why it's not really talked about. It's a pretty interesting little movie overall so we recommend you check it out sometime. Peace and love

2023-11-091h 37AltmaniaCalifornia Split (1974)It's time for another incredible Altman movie, this one might even be called a "deep cut", although it's got a lot of good attention in the last 10+ years. We're talking about California Split (1974), a gambling comedy starring Elliott Gould and George Segal. This one's an absolute blast and we finally let loose our love of Elliott Gould, possibly the best Altman movie opening next to The Player and talk about how little we know about gambling.
Peace and love!!!
