  • Summary

  • Welcome to Hit Rewind! In this episode, we explore a transformative period in film history often referred to as the "Bronze Age" of cinema. This era, largely spanning the 1970s, is marked by groundbreaking and innovative movies that pushed the boundaries of storytelling and representation.

    We delve into films like "Night of the Living Dead," which redefined the zombie genre and sparked conversations about race and society. We also examine the impact of blaxploitation films, including "Shaft" and "Superfly," which presented black protagonists in a new light and catered to an audience previously ignored by mainstream cinema.

    Our discussion extends to John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13," a film that showcases the director's knack for creating tension and suspense on a shoestring budget. This episode is a deep dive into how these films not only entertained but also challenged societal norms and expectations.

    Join us as we celebrate the creativity and boldness of this cinematic era, reflecting on how these films paved the way for future generations of filmmakers.
