1 hr 14 min - 031 - THE GRADUATE (1967)
Ian (they/them) & McKenzie (she/her) have the kid gloves off! Just kidding, theres only ever love on this show. But, one of the hosts may not have too much to give to one of the greatest contributions of the western cinematic canon. We discuss Mike Nichols' seminal post-grad/quarter-life crisis parable, THE GRADUATE (1967).
Programing Note: Due to a technical glitch you may hear a slight skipping in the audio at certain points. It is negligible and the episode has been edited to ensure its impact is minimal on your experience. Thanks!
