Isn’t it Bromantic? Newman & Redford in “The Sting” (with guest Bob LeMent)

  • Summary

  • S01 E23 Today we take on romance at "Going Hollywood", and discuss one of the greatest romantic pairings in cinema history...Paul Newman and Robert Redford, specifically in "The Sting" (1973). What makes this Best Picture Oscar-winner such an enduring classic, and how did the bromance between Paul Newman and Robert Redford redefine cinematic pairings? Join us as we, along with special guest Bob Lament from Static Radio, dissect the magic that made this film a box office sensation since its festive release in 1973. We kick off with a discussion about the undeniable chemistry of Newman and Redford, exploring how their dynamic overshadows traditional romantic narratives and the impact they left on Hollywood.

    We delve into the intriguing world of confidence men, as brought to life by David S. Ward’s screenplay, exploring the cinematic 'what-ifs' and imagining the Oscars sweep for Redford and Streisand. The thrill of con films, the allure of morally ambiguous characters, and the clever plot twists of "The Sting" are all part of our rich discussion.
