Ep# 60 - Kiss, Marry, Kill in the 60s: 1968

Cinema60 continues its series of Kiss, Marry, Kill, this time with a focus on the year 1968. As previously explained, it’s a variation on the ol’ FMK game, played year by year as we go through the decade. Bart and Jenna challenge each other to choose one film they love (“Marry”), one film they want to see (“Kiss”), and one film they hate (“Kill”) that was released in the year 1968.

In this episode, Bart and Jenna indulge in some of the best introspective cinema that 1968 has to offer – including in depth discussions on the pitfalls of ‘60s masculinity, the triumphs of ‘60s feminism, and getting super high in front of your parents. Or, well, Peter Sellers’ parents.
