We're very happy to have gotten to sit down with cinematographer and son of Robert Altman -- Robert Reed "Bobby" Altman. He shares with us stories of joining his dad on the production of Nashville, his early life travelling the world with his family, joining the camera department and working on everything from the Popeye set in Malta, to working on the art department for Quintet and 3 Women, OC and Stiggs stories of King Sunny Ade, working on Trixie and Return Engagement with Alan Rudolph, Altman and Demme's friendship. There was just so many awesome stories and we're glad we could be there to hear them and then record them for you to also hear! Love to all the bobbleheads out there, we'll return on JUNE 4TH to kick off our new series doing a deep-dive on the works of Jonathan Demme. Until then, stay cool, love one another.

Gordon Liddy debate tour. We get into the current state of the world, where we're at now, before we jump into the deep end on the FBI, CIA, Nixon, MKultra, watergate, Iran Contra, counterculture movements, and all of that jazz. Plus we learn that Gordon Liddy was one crazy ass white boy.

We always hate to say goodbye... but we must close this chapter of the podcast and officially send off our Alan Rudolph series out to the beautiful blue ocean. We honor the man himself talking about what we learned looking at all of these movies he made, what he and Altman showed us about American filmmaking, read some choice quotes from the man himself, his top 10 favorite movies. AND... we announce our upcoming subject for the next season, before we hand out some Bob awards for these final 10 Rudolph movies, our ranked list of them, and what we're looking for in the next series. From both of us hosts, thank you to everyone who's listened to us ramble about movies for these 20+ episodes, whether you're a new listener or a day-oner, we appreciate having you around. Thank you to everyone in our discord for keeping the conversation going and for anyone that went and watched even one Alan Rudolph movie from our discussions let alone all of them. And thank you to all of our guests who we'll list below, but the biggest thanks of all goes to our pal Jason Miller who really got the fire cooking on this season, who got us so psyched about a guy that made some seriously unparalleled movies right under the radar of the Hollywood machine, thanks Jason! And to all of our other guests - Thank you so much to…VALERIE KEATON, PETER RALEIGH, ESME HOLDEN, CHRIS WOODWARD, AARON CASIAS, ETAN WEISFOGEL, JANE ALTOIDS, JORDAN FISH, GIGI, IAN RHINE, JAKE SERWIN - and our guests who couldn't quite make it in ANNABEL JESSICA GOLDSMITH and TORREY PAQUETTE, we'll catch you again next time.

See you all in June for Series 4 of Altmania! Follow Altmania: altmaniapod.com estebannoel.com Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/altmania
