TMBDOS! Episode 329: "Cisco Pike" (1971).

Lee and Daniel pay a bit of tribute to the recently departed Gene Hackman by talking briefly about what he meant to each of them, and then covering a film he appeared in before he hit it big in "The French Connection". The film in question is the Bill Norton-directed "Cisco Pike" (1971), which was a tailor-made debut film for then upcoming musician Kris Kristofferson. The hosts conversation revolve around this film's place in the series of counterculture films that came in the wake of "Easy Rider", the overall vibe of the film, and the familiar character actors that pop up, as well as Gene Hackman making way more out of his role than one would think was needed. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late.
