Say Hello to My Little Film: Episode 217 - Five Easy Pieces

Car RayRob is kicking off the month of September with a brand-new episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! It's Rob's pick and he's bringing another one of his personal favorites, the 1970 drama FIVE EASY PIECES! This true American classic stars a Jack Nicholson (CHINATOWN, THE SHINING) in the iconic role of Bobby Dupea, an oil worker with a privileged past that he must confront when he learns his father has suffered multiple strokes and his days are numbered. Accompanied on his journey by his eccentric girlfriend Rayette (played by the powerhouse of 70s cinema Karen Black), Bobby searches for who he is and what he truly wants from life. Born from one of the great New Hollywood production companies, BBS Productions, FIVE EASY PIECES is the great American film that embodies the changing landscape of counterculture America and the evolving face of the Hollywood industry. 

Will Bobby Dupea's journey speak to Ray and let him see this classic for what it is? Or will the complexities and failures of these characters leave him searching for the next thing? Tune in this week to find out!
