This week’s episode is the first in the recurring series Extended Clip Executive Decision. at the EP level on patreon ($15/mo), you wget to choose the topic for one episode of the podcast. this was chosen by Andrew, whose substack is at the bottom of the info.

We’re taking a trip to Malta this week, to visit Popeye Village. Robert Altman, Robert Evans, Robin Williams, and Shelley Duvall bring the sailor cartoon to life in this massive, controversial 1980 musical production. We talk about Evans as conquerer, Altman making the film his own, production design, and more.

Then, on MITM (41:44), Malcolm gushes about Seven Beauties, JT checks out Frontier Marshall, and Eddie describes the artistic ambitions and connections of his cross-country road trip until the zoom connection pooped out.
