Nashville (1975)

RIP Shelley Duvall (1949 - 2024)Jon and Dan take their cinematic tour to Tennessee on this episode of the podcast and couldn't resist the opportunity to sing the praises of Robert Altman's classic country music-meets-political thriller classic, Nashville. This star-filled cast (including early roles for many soon-to-be stars) weaves together a story of politics, concerning both the federal government and the inner-workings of Nashville's complex music scene.**This episode was recorded on July 3, 2024, a week before the passing of the legendary Shelley Duvall and ten days before the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. Although deciding to discuss Nashville at this time is a coincidence, we understand that our commentary on politically-driven assassinations may be upsetting to some and do not wish to cause emotional harm.Next episode: Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) • TexasSee what native tribes reside or resided in what is now known as TennesseeWatch this episode on YouTube or SpotifySubscribe to The WALT!Contact us, follow us on social media, or buy some merch at linktr.ee/RuinedChildhoods & RuinedChildhoodsPod.com
