On this week's episode, Bjorn and Reece are joined by very special guest Jaime Rebanal to discuss Brewster McCloud, Robert Altman's endearingly odd follow up to his breakout hit M*A*S*H. A story about a boy who wanted to be a bird, a serial strangler on the loose, and the debut appearance of Altman muse, Shelley Duvall. It's a weird one!
On this week's episode Bjorn and Reece take a deep dive into Altman's zeitgeist-y counter-cultural phenom, M*A*S*H, the film that launched the director into 1970s New Holywood. The duo look to see how well the film holds up from a modern perspective, it's significance in Altman's career, it's position as that rarest of all war pictures - the truly anti-war film. As subversive as any film that Altman ever made, for many it serves as the introduction to the director's work, but does it remain one of his best? Listen to find out!
After tackling Altman's first three feature directorial efforts in the season 04 premiere, Bjorn and Reece settle into the single picture per episode format that will continue throughout the rest of the Altman series.

Will they find comfort in each other's company or will the secrets they are keeping bring ruin to one or both of them? Come on out of the rain and warm up with a lively discussion on Altman's final picture of the 60s.
