American Graffiti

It's time to cruise on back to 1962 and pay a visit to Mel's Drive-In as Leonard and Guy revisit George Lucas' coming-of-age classic, American Graffiti.They discuss the relatively unknown but soon to be star-filled cast, what the film mean to Lucas on a personal level, the original plan for its release, the smash-hit soundtrack, as well as why the film doesn't quite hold up in 2026 as much as other films from its time.Support the show on Patreon for EXCLUSIVE REVIEWS at patreon.com/themovieguideListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/3Z9Ua2LListen on Apple - bit.ly/3AwKIhDOfficial Website - themovieguidepodcast.comPurchase Leonard's new book "Every Movie Is A Miracle" at amazon.com.au/Every-Movie-Miracle-Leonard-Maltin/dp/B0FGLT3NNPOrder Leonard and Jessie's new cookbook "Family Movie Night Menus" at amazon.com.au/Family-Movie-Night-MenusCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Four Finger Discount (Simpsons) - fourfingerdiscount.com.auGoin' Down To South Park - spreaker.com/show/goin-down-to-south-parkThe One About Friends - spreaker.com/show/the-one-about-friends-podcastSpeaKing Of The Hill - spreaker.com/show/speaking-of-the-hill-a-king-of-the-hill-Talking Seinfeld - spreaker.com/show/talking-seinfeldBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-movie-guide-with-maltin-davis--6378803/support.
