Lolo here. I think this is the first time I’ve ever been reticent to admit to a famous film I haven’t seen, but here we are – I have never seen American Graffiti, despite citing A New Hope as one of the most influential films in my life and in my work as a filmmaker. (If you don’t know the connection between those two films, listen to this episode of the podcast to learn all about it). Listen now to hear my reaction on seeing it for the first time, plus all the really great trivia and behind-the-scenes stories Patrick has collected to share with us!
This, is American Graffiti.
