Robert Altman: Five at Fox
Episode 51
Wednesday, 5 November, 2025

In a surprising birthday TWIST, Sam has decided to make us cover not just one film for their birthday but FIVE! And guess what? They’re all delightfully quirky and weird. We set our sights on Robert Altman's 1977-1980 period during which - thanks to Alan Ladd Jr.’s protective stewardship of 20th Century Fox - Altman was able to operate with complete freedom, churning out weird movie after weird movie. Sure, all of them utterly tanked at the box office, but they certainly do make for some interesting conversation! In this ep we discuss: 3 Women, A Wedding, Quintet, A Perfect Couple, and HealtH. Topics include: Elena’s brief stint as a caterer, the music of Keepin’ ‘Em Off The Streets, and whether or not the game of Quintet seems fun.
