The Sugarland Express with Esther Zuckerman
Added 2025-01-12 05:00:00 +0000 UTCYoung whippersnapper Steven Spielberg continues his run of dusty, road-centric films with 1974βs THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS, and weβre along for the (surprisingly chill) ride. Writer Esther Zuckerman joins us to discuss the cinematic persona of Goldie Hawn, William Athertonβs strange period of leading-man roles, the harmonica stylings of Belgian jazz legend Toots Thielemans, and Spielbergβs brief but fruitful collaboration with cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond. Note - we recorded this episode a few months in advance. We no longer endorse the whole Hawk Tuah thing.
