We have our first guest! George Elkind joins me back in 1968 to discuss some of the biggest news in politics and movies. We talk about the shooting of Robert F. Kennedy after the California Democratic Primary, the impact of the Vietnam War on the Presidential race, and the rise of political violence. We also dive into the five movies nominated for the 1968 Academy Awards (shout out to Mark Harris and his book Pictures at a Revolution) and George explains the new direction of Hollywood represented by films such as The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde.
