Some Like It Unauthorized
by Zachary Domes & J Brooks Young
A discussion show about the cinema canon, the margins and the mainstream, and how they intersect. Film enthusiasts but newcomers to film history, siblings Zach and J Brooks watch notable movies from the 60s and 70s in chronological order, unpacking their place in history and their relevance today. The 2022 BFI Sight and Sound List serves as a guide, but blockbusters, arthouse darlings, and cult classics are all fair game, whether these films show up on critics lists or not. These two hosts don’t have film degrees or press passes, they like it unauthorized.

Nashville (1975)
A veteran of WWII and a veteran of film and television by the time the hays code was lifted, Robert Altman only became a director of note in 1970 when he took full advantage of the changing attitudes at the studios, the burgeoning ‘new hollywood’ era, and made the most cynical and degenerate comedy about the US military anyone had yet seen, a surprising s-M*A*S*H hit. Overnight, he had a calling card and a newfound lease on life creatively, and what followed was an industrious career of riskier and riskier swings. The most critically well-remembered today is his country music tableau Nashville, and on this episode we journey down south to discuss the many tricks of the trade that Altman employed to make this sui generis epic hangout film, and how it sums up the cultural hegemony (and violence) of twentieth century America.Next week: Barry Lyndon (1975) by Stanley KubrickYou can now find us on substackUnauthorizedPod.com for more.
