Episode 283 - The Deer Hunter *Listener's Choice*

Who can watch this 70s classic and not be heartbroken by Christopher Walken's Oscar-winning performance?  He's a revelation to people who only know his weirdo roles of the past twenty years.  And if there's one thing Andrew and Phil agree on, it's that THE DEER HUNTER is Robert DeNiro's best role of all time.  He's the key component in a film comprised of several great actors.  At the helm is Michael Cimino, at the peak of his directing powers.  He flew high like Icarus and was rewarded with multiple Oscars, only to encounter the sun with his next film and crash and burn.  But let's enjoy this film, brought to ITQ by Bob Eimicke, a NYC film critic and new guest!
