Midnight Cowboy (AFI Top 100 Films #43) - a podcast by Ira Heinichen, Joshua McClenney

Hey, I’m walkin here! Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman star in this gritty portrait of the hustler life on the streets of late-60s, peak urban-decay New York . . . and it’s surprisingly SWEET and full of heart. Originally given the bullsh*t X-rating for its tacit exploration of homosexuality, Midnight Cowboy goes places rarely gone in mainstream American cinema; sometimes for good, sometimes for ill . . . but its beating heart is the relationship between its two stars, and it’s truly inspired direction and cinematography. This week, on Film School!
