A Clockwork Orange (1971)

August 27, 2026 · 1 h 57 min

Show notes

We’re ending our Summer of ’70s with one of the most controversial movies we’ve ever covered: A Clockwork Orange. Is this an artsy masterpiece or just shock for the sake of it?  Are we supposed to feel sorry for Alex DeLarge? Is Malcolm McDowell giving one of the greatest performances of all time?  One of us gives it a perfect 10 and another basically wants to delete it from his library.  Can you guess who is who?!?!  Grab your droogs, pour yourself a glass of milk and get ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence. We tackle all of this and more!
