Episode 219: SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT

<p>We're going back to a time of cops and smugglers with <em>Smokey and the Bandit</em>, a classic timepiece of Americana with Burt Reynolds as the titular bandit and... Jackie Gleason as the smokey? We have a lot of fun with the film and call out a number of great elements in this road movie, including Jerry Reed's oft-used soundtrack, the great onscreen chemistry between Reynolds and Sally Fields, and the timeless misogyny and racism from the police. Also, we're drinking the American classic, Coor's Banquet, of course.</p> <p><strong>Approximate timeline</strong></p> <p>0:00-12:00 Intro<br> 12:00-18:00 Beer talk<br> 18:00-end <em>Smokey and the Bandit</em></p> <p>Check back next week for the start of Red Hot '80s Action Summer II: Heat Wave Edition!<br> </p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/support</a>
