50. "Hal Ashby Films" - Harold and Maude vs Being There

Scene Weekly

About this episode

"Scene Weekly" - 🎶 “If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free…” 🎶

This week on Scene Weekly, Jonathan and Stephen take Cat Stevens' words to heart as they embrace the freedom to debate two of Hal Ashby’s most iconic films: Harold and Maude and Being There.

Stephen sings the praises of Harold and Maude, a story where life’s quirks and unexpected love remind us that “there’s a million ways to be.” Meanwhile, Jonathan delves into the tranquil brilliance of Being There, where Peter Sellers’ Chance the Gardener proves that silence can be as profound as song.
