In the last of our Summer of Seventies season, we are joined by the creator of the Dead Drunk Detective Podcast, Brendan Way to discuss this coming-of-age classic. This will be our last episode, possibly for a while, possibly for all time but at the very least will be taking a break. Thanks for all your support Schmascots!

Customer Reviews
A Critical Hit
Chris and Owen bring a modern look at supposedly untouchable classics. Do they really achieve their elevated status or are they flashes in the pan? Fun, funny and fantastically produced, it's a must listen for fans of You Must Remember This or Secret History of Hollywood.
Great podcast!
Great podcast!
Often frustrating, but always entertaining.
I love the format of this show and the honest (and often humorous) opinions that Chris and Owen share. I've never been disappointed in the content... although I often disagree with their reviews. Trying to fit a movie from the 50s into the PC Culture of today (like "The 7 Year Itch") just isn't fair, IMO. That said; if you like movies and charming banter - give these guys a listen.
