Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by Paul for a trip back to America in 1962 with hamburgers and milkshakes, drive-ins, fast cars and some of the best rock and roll music ever created.

This episode we are joining Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfus with Wolfman Jack playing the tunes as we rock around the clock with American Graffiti (1973) – directed by George Lucas

"You're the most beautiful, exciting thing I've ever seen in my life and I don't know anything about you"

In the twilight of innocence, and against the backdrop of early-1960s Modesto, California, four school friends--Curt, Steve, John, and Terry--bid farewell to their carefree lives as teenagers, on the last evening of summer break. Over the course of one long and hot September night, the long-time companions on the brink of adulthood will take their first steps into the real life; experience the powerful feelings of desire, disappointment, and love--and, ultimately--see the world in a different light. Pivoting around Mel's bright Drive-In, and Wolfman Jack's non-stop Rock 'n' Roll disc-jockey show, the boys cruise the town's colourful streets in their beautiful cars, as an elusive blonde vision in a white 1956 Ford Thunderbird contributes to the excitement of this very special night. However, when morning comes, nothing will ever be the same again.
