RIP Shelley Duvall (1949 - 2024)

Jon and Dan take their cinematic tour to Tennessee on this episode of the podcast and couldn't resist the opportunity to sing the praises of Robert Altman's classic country music-meets-political thriller classic, Nashville. This star-filled cast (including early roles for many soon-to-be stars) weaves together a story of politics, concerning both the federal government and the inner-workings of Nashville's complex music scene.

**This episode was recorded on July 3, 2024, a week before the passing of the legendary Shelley Duvall and ten days before the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. Although deciding to discuss Nashville at this time is a coincidence, we understand that our commentary on politically-driven assassinations may be upsetting to some and do not wish to cause emotional harm.
