Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another episode of As Time Goes By! This week we end our February month with Melvin Van Peebles' innovative international fare with his 1967 feature film debut The Story of a Three Day Pass.

In the intro, Troy is joined by Timothée Chalamet to highlight the Chattanooga art scene. Moving on, we contextualize Peebles' tumultuous journey into Hollywood filmmaking by discussing "New Waves" in 60's cinema, Peebles' expatriate rebellion, and highlight important facts about his journey to making Three Day Pass. Later, we commentate on the film and accentuate composition and content to fully understand this underrated gem.
