'You Talkin' to Me?’ Film Podcast
Midnight Cowboy
James and Dan had never seen John Schlesinger’s Oscar-winning classic Midnight Cowboy, so they watched it together and recorded a podcast about it. In this episode, they explore Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight’s unforgettable performances, the film’s groundbreaking approach to taboo themes in late 1960s cinema, and its gritty portrayal of loneliness, friendship, and survival in a decaying New York. “I’m walkin’ here!” — and so are they.
Throughout this discussion, we use terms like ‘male prostitution’ or ‘prostitute,’ as they relate to the language that reflects the film’s era and framing, as well as the term ‘sex worker’ which is the preferred modern term.
