We celebrate the life and career of Ryan O'Neal with a discussion of his slickest star vehicle. My audio is a little choppy at times because I had to cut out a lot of barking. Peggy was very excitable during this episode but can you blame her? It's Ryan O'Neal, it's Isabelle Adjani, it's Bruce Dern, it's Walter Hill, folks. What a cast. What a picture. What a podcast.

We run down some of Austin's favorite new movies, some of Raymond's favorite old movies and exactly one prompt from the mailbag. Not a great ratio, I don't know what to tell you. Happy New Year, folks.

Austin wrote an excellent piece for Jacobin on the intersection of art and activism: https://jacobin.com/2023/12/australia-elites-censorship-israel-palestine-solidarity-sydney-theatre-company

You know what, I loved having this conversation with Austin and I loved listening back to it while editing. This is a movie that both encourages and defies explanation. Truly one of a kind. We had a couple hours to chat about it which didn't increase my understanding of the film one bit but considerably increased my appreciation of it and that, to me, is a sign of great art. It's beguiling; It continues to unfold without ever truly revealing its secrets. I hope you all get a chance to see Eraserhead and I hope you all enjoy this discussion which is more AROUND the movie than ABOUT it, if that makes sense.
The book that I mention in this episode, which I forgot the name of during recording, is "Eraserhead, The David Lynch Files: Volume 1" by Kenneth Godwin.

A year after their Night of the Living Dead episode, Becky and Raymond return to the works of George A. Romero. It's an impulse they can't explain, perhaps something buried deep down in their psyche. This filmmaker meant something to them when they were younger and they can't resist coming back again and again, year after year. They get up and podcast. The people who listen get up and podcast!

Kelsi and Trey from The Extra Credits podcast join us for the middle chapter of our Friedkin trifecta. Everything goes well until a stunning revelation an hour into the episode. Will the CineMythology listeners revolt? Will Raymond ever regain his credibility? Did he ever have any credibility to lose? Press play now on the podcast people are saying is "about film history".
