Jesus, this is one boomer-ass movie.

I’m a fan of Altman’s style and can only imagine how refreshing it must have been at the time. Once the movie starts, there’s barely five seconds where someone isn’t talking. Usually there are multiple people talking over each other. It’s relentless and chaotic, but in a good way.

But holy shit, watching this in 2025, it’s hard to see these counter-culture anti-heroes as anything other than a pack of sexist, racist, misogynistic, homophobic boomer assholes.
