The 602 Club 285: Glory Days

American Graffiti

After THX-1138, George Lucas was challenged by his friend Francis Ford Coppola to do something more mainstream and upbeat, the result would be a movie drawn from Lucas' own teenage years in Modesto, California.

In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Christy Morris welcome back John Mills to talk about American Graffiti. We discuss the inspirations for the movie, robust female characters, troubles, the soundtrack of our lives, where life goes, Steve and Laurie, one of four ways, ratings and our recommendations.
