Ep1179: There's No Stalgia Like Nostalgia: Four Days in November (1964) - Movie Review
Kicking the Seat is nostalgic for tradition, so we're excited to welcome back Pat McDonald for our annual remembrance of the JFK assassination. In the wild return of "There's No Stalgia Like Nostalgia", the guys look at Mel Stuart's 1964 documentary, Four Days in November!
Detailing the events leading up to and immediately following that fateful day in Dallas, the film may be old hat to Camelot-philes. But for those who've spent decades learning about Kennedy, Oswald, and the web of theories that has spun out of 11/22/64 strictly from pop culture, Stuart's movie will be a true eye-opener.
Watch as Ian and Pat pull lessons from the characters, connections, and conspiracies--and how the continuously evolving media landscape shapes not only how we experience world events, but how we reflect on the way old media propagandized whole generations!
