The Last Picture Show: Cold Comfort

Tim takes us through rampant contagion and people wearing masks, people too afraid to live in the world, a "great" man only concerned with himself, and questions of legacy. Movies from the 1952, 1971, and 1994, so sort of a meta Cold Comfort that we've been dealing with these problems for decades. After introducing the overshadowed yet crucial film The Last Picture Show, Tim offers Safe and the The Bad and the Beautiful as movies where comfort can only be had with serious compromise.
