The Greatest Depression: They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1969)

Destiny’s dance continues! This week the hosts go around and around in their conversation on Sydney Pollack’s 1969 ode to the hopelessness of human existence (under capitalism)! This 1930s era Jane Fonda vehicle proves to be delightful fodder for Elena and Sam to morbidly contemplate its grim vision of fate. And speaking of grim fates: the film also co-stars Gig Young… Yeesh! Topics include: the birth of existentialism, tracking shots in Gilmore Girls, and Red Buttons.
