I Eat Movies #35: Dino’s First Time - The Last Picture Show (1971) / Texasville (1990‪)‬ I Eat Movies Podcast

Back from a winter hibernation, cohosts Mike and Dino return to the mics by saluting New Hollywood heavyweight Peter Bogdanovich in I Eat Movies #35: Dino’s First Time - The Last Picture Show (1971) / Texasville (1990). Examining Peter's meteoric rise from film critic and cinephile to one of the rising filmmakers of his generation, we dive into his critical and commerical smash coming of ager, The Last Picture Show. Equal parts melancholy and painfully relatable, we highlight the powerhouse performances and beautiful nuances that catapulted the film to becoming a classic. Next up, we tackle its nearly two decade later followup, Texasville, that saw the return of its original cast contending with new crises in middle age. A tonal departure ripe with more humor than imagined, we explore the merits and drawbacks in this unexpected continuation of the citizens of Anarene. Join us in this loving tribute to the late Peter Bogdanovich and some of his richest characters in I Eat Movies #35: Dino’s First Time - The Last Picture Show (1971) / Texasville (1990)!
