If you want to sing out! Sing out! Kael Your Idols is pleased to bring you another Very Special Episode as we turn our attention and our empathy towards the career of Hal Ashby. The hosts are joined by film person Michael J. Dougherty to trace the tragicomic trajectory of this titan of 70s cinema; starting with Ashby's work as an acclaimed editor and terminating with the studio shutting him out of his final film’s editing room. For the purpose of this episode we mainly concern ourselves with The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Coming Home (1978), and 8 Million Ways to Die (1986), but the conversation touches on almost all of his notable projects. Topics include: allergies to preciousness, predictions about the writers strike (this was recorded last summer), and Greta Gerwig.
