Description

While men walk on the moon, the independent film scene takes off in the wake of Hollywood's decline and the end of the Hays Code. Arthur and Andrew talk about the wild behind-the-scenes drama of Easy Rider with director Dennis Hopper and discuss whether or not his eccentric behavior was necessary. We also look at the process of editing down this unorthodox film and how well Easy Rider depicts drug culture. We wrap up the episode with a retrospective on the 1960s, the trends we saw, and our favorite films from the decade.Where to watch Easy RiderIn event of moon disasterRoger Ebert's review of Easy RiderWhere to watch Wanda (1970)
