203 - Pt. 1 - The Last Picture Show (CC)

Our summer event begins! “Bogdanofilms & PJ Parties” opens with a bang: a Peter Bogdanovich coming-of-age flick so revered, it could be argued the filmmaker was never able to top it - and it was right at the beginning of his career. But is the Tomatometer too easily impressed by THE LAST PICTURE SHOW? Listen to Alex & Julio as they try to figure out what this meandering black & white tale is trying to say, and as they try to reconcile how young Jeff Bridges and today’s Jeff Bridges sound pretty much the same.
