Dustin Jacqmin joins us to talk about his namesake Dustin Hoffman as we review The Graduate (1967). Is Benjamin the biggest jerk in movie history? Is Elaine just as crazy as he is? The repeated theme of alienation plays well with the kids, but how about us adults? And what conversation could be complete without discussing the amazing soundtrack? No conversation I’d want to be a part of, that’s for sure!
Clarifications:
Ah yes, Garden State, the movie everyone loves to hate! I honestly won’t jump on that bandwagon, but then again I haven’t seen it in 13 years…
Yes, the name Dustin had a definite peak after this film was released, just look at the data!
Our EP definitely wants me to point out that when we say that no one stands on a moving walkway with a blank expression on their face, we are wrong. This is almost exclusively what people do, to his chagrin.
Is it possible the famous ending of the film may have had the wrong background music? I submit Exhibit A!
Here’s some links to April, Come She Will, Mrs. Robinson and The Sound of Silence. S&G forever!!!
