Episode 252: Car Wash (1976)

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! We're celebrating Black movies of the 1970s on the main show all throughout February and into the first week of March due to our big milestone 250th episode falling right in the middle of the month! To close out this wonderfully varied series of enlightening discoveries, Morgan and Jeannine are talking one of the foremost and pioneering "hang-out" comedies; CAR WASH (1976)!! With scene stealing cameos from Richard Pryor & George Carlin, the comedy is undeniable. The continuous disco soundtrack, wonderful ensemble of characters featuring performances from Franklin Ajaye, Ivan Dixon & Bill Duke and boldness to go beyond its surface as a light, breezy comedy to deal with topical concerns and anxieties confirm this as not only an important staple in "hang-out" comedy history, but in Black Cinema history too!
