Ep 122: "Ordinary People" Revisited

Mary Tyler Moore gave us all a jolt back in 1980 with her performance as a cold, distant mom in Robert Redford's Oscar-winning film Ordinary People. She went from turning the world on with her smile, to cramming French toast down the drain. Over forty years of mental health awareness later, should we all be Beth Jared apologists? Does the movie still pack a wallop or is it just rich white-people problems? And how was Donald Sutherland not nominated for this? The Old Roommates imagine Christmas in London and rewatch 1980's Best Picture winner. Listen to this.<br />Become a Patron of Old Roommates at patreon.com/oldroommates!
