Chinatown
Manage episode 357085988 series 3351349
In 1974 the well-known child rapist, Roman Polanski, released what is widely thought to be a perfect movie, a one-hundred percenter, a hold-up if you will. But today we put this supposed masterpiece to the test as we go down to Chinatown! Chinatown features a young Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway in this detective noir story which leads through a standard entry but ends in a wild, secret exit full of sadness and despair, or maybe not? I don’t know, you gotta watch this fucking thing. It won awards at the Oscars and is on every list of best movies. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss close families and being raised by your pa-grandpa as we try to determine if Chinatown makes us China frown.
