Have You Ever Seen7 Elo 2023

Coming Home

As we "celebrate" the Civic Holiday, Bev takes the week off and Ryan monologues in the 529th episode of Have You Ever Seen. The underrated Hal Ashby always got great performances out of his actors during that incredible run he had in the '70s. In Coming Home, he uses a plethora of classic songs---so many classic songs---to back up his stars' excellent work. Oscar winners Jon Voight and the remarkable Jane Fonda are romantic and sexy together. He's a veteran who returns from Vietnam unable to walk, while Bruce Dern comes back unable to cope. Fonda's married to Dern, but falls for Voight. Triangular problems! This teeth-chatter about Coming Home got quite political about government and war, so perhaps that requires a trigger warning for those who don't agree with the Ellises' liberal views. In any case, if you've got 37 minutes, fire up a podcast about a classic movie that all of us should probably feel obliged to see.

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
