b'"This is the most beautiful, exciting podcast I\'ve ever heard in my life and I don\'t know anything about it."\\n\\nIf you\'re anything like us, you\'re probably still reeling from the monumental 2020 Oscars, where club favorite film Parasite took home 4 awards, including Best Picture (being the first foreign language film to do so). So in honor of Parasite etching its name into the legendary monolith of film history, we\'ve decided to cover a film all about paving ones own path and legacy: American Graffiti! On this episode, we talk about the film\'s setting/historical context, its themes of nostalgia and moving on from the past, and George Lucas\' storied yet stormy film legacy. Where were you in \'62? If you\'re reading this, you likely weren\'t alive, but you should still check out the 67th episode of the UW Film Club Podcast now!\\n\\nOn this episode: Jim Saunders and Joey Franklin\\n\\nYou can find us on Facebook at /UWFilmClub, and on Twitter and Instagram @FilmClubUW.
