Ep #54 - Kiss, Marry, Kill in the 60s: 1967
Playtime (1967)
Cinema60 continues its series of Kiss, Marry, Kill, this time with a focus on the year 1967. As previously explained, it’s a variation on the ol’ FMK game, played year by year as we go through the decade. Bart and Jenna challenge each other to choose one film they love (“Marry”), one film they want to see (“Kiss”), and one film they hate (“Kill”) that was released in the year 1967.
In this episode, Bart and Jenna stumble upon an intriguing pattern in their otherwise random choices. From anti establishment thinking, anxiety over consumerism, a stance on personal fascism, and deeply cynical sense of humor, 1967 turned out to be one the best Kiss, Marry, Kill years we’ve done yet.
