Dana and Tom with returning guest, Scott Cole (Twitter-X/IG (@colecommascott) movie commentator), discuss Nashville (1975) for its 50th Anniversary: directed by Robert Altman, written by Joan Tewkesbury, cinematography by Paul Lohmann, music by Richard Baskin, starring Keith Carradine, Ned Beatty, Scott Glenn, and Lily Tomlin.Plot Summary: A sprawling mosaic of American life, Nashville follows 24 characters over five days leading up to a political rally in the titular city. Set against the backdrop of country music and political ambition, the film weaves together intersecting stories of musicians, wannabe stars, politicians, and ordinary citizens. Through overlapping dialogue and naturalistic performances, Altman paints a satirical yet poignant portrait of fame, identity, and the uneasy state of the nation during the 1970s. The film crescendos into a shocking act of violence, underscoring its themes of disillusionment and the chaotic intersection of celebrity and politics.Guest:Scott ColeTwitter-X/IG (@colecommascott) movie commentator, and occasional writer/contributor for The Movie Friends podcast.com (@moviefriendspodcast)Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back Scott03:54 Cast of Nashville05:32 Dana's First Time Seeing Nashville08:47 Did Dana Like Nashville?15:02 Background for Nashville17:26 What is Nashville About?23:18 Plot Summary for Nashville24:15 Did You Know?26:34 First Break28:30 What's Happening with Scott Cole?33:23 Best Performance(s)45:03 Best Scene(s)56:20 Second Break57:02 In Memoriam01:06:10 Best/Funniest Lines01:10:30 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:17:54 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:21:39 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:27:09 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:32:44 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:39:25 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:46:52 Remaining Questions for Nashville01:51:35 Thank You to Scott and Remaining Thoughts01:57:11 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/nashville-1975-ft-scott-coleFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Nashville, Robert Altman, film analysis, character development, 1975 movies, Best Picture nominees, country music, cinematic themes, film performances, movie discussions, film, entertainment, legacy, humor,...
