This week, we discuss two films directed by Robert Altman in the 1970s.

The first is California Split (1974), starring Elliott Gould and George Segal as a pair of sleazy gamblers who head to Reno to try to win big.

The second is Nashville (1975), a huge ensemble piece focused on the American country music capital. The film is often considered to be Altman’s best work and received 5 Academy Award nominations.
