  • Episode 3: HUSBANDS (1970)
    Apr 22 2024

    In Episode 2 of "Love Streams," Allison and John, a filmmaker and a film studies scholar who are annoyingly married to each other, dive into an incredibly long conversation about Cassavetes' 1970 film, Husbands. Join them as they discuss production history, academic interpretations, how the script was written, vomit, sports, masculinity, (in)appropriate social behavior, grief, strategies for duping distributors, noise, the post-production process, an abusive singing contest, more vomit, and the influence that Husbands has had on subsequent films. Plus, stick around for a very special BONUS QUIZ in which we determine which of the Husbands our co-host, John, really is. What's your guess? Is he an Archie? Or, is he a Gus? Or, God forbid, is he a Harry?! Honestly, this is probably going to be the next great Buzzfeed quiz, and you'll definitely want to be in on it.

A lovely podcast and cinephile’s dream

Both hosts are knowledgeable and insightful, with a working relationship not dissimilar to Gena and John. Mostly in that they’re married and work together in and around film. Anyways, can’t wait for the rest. Please keep ‘em coming!
