• California Split (1974)- Drive-In Double Feature Episode 420

  Nathan and Ryan ante up for Robert Altman’s California Split, a drifting, character-driven dive into gambling addiction starring Elliott Gould and George Segal at their loosened-collar best. The hosts unpack Altman’s signature overlapping dialogue, the film’s lived-in hangout energy, and the bittersweet portrait of two men chasing wins they can never hold onto. From poker rooms to racetracks to late-night degenerate chaos, this episode explores why California Split stands apart as one of the great ’70s character studies—and how its deceptively loose vibe hides a knockout emotional punch.

With Sterling Hayden leading a crew of crooks who are all almost competent, the hosts dig into the film’s nonlinear storytelling, bleak humor, and the early signs of Kubrick’s icy precision as a filmmaker. They explore how this tight, tough little crime flick became a blueprint for modern heist movies and why it still hits as hard today as it did nearly 70 years ago.
