In this episode of our 2025 series where we talk about gems from 1975 and 1995 we decided to go whole hog and commit the entire month to Robert Altman by discussing his 1975 Nashville. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us debate this movie as a tapestry of American society, how it is timely and timeless in equal measures and how it interweaves personal vignette stories into a narrative-less stream of storytelling. We also talk about whether our relationship with this movie might be coloured by what we feel about country music, if Altman truly succeeds in imitating reality, whether celebrity critics of the time gave him a helping hand by offering their praise or simply acknowledged the greatness of this movie and if Nashville was indeed the pinnacle of New Hollywood cinema or rather the first of its final gasps.

Tune in and enjoy!
