5.4 On A Clear Day!
Manage episode 408298851 series 2919234
Peter and Nathan watched this movie so you don't have to!
It's time for a deep cut... We’re talking about the 1970 film version of Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane’s very strange musical, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever – a show about a psychiatrist with terrible boundaries.
We talk about:
- ESP: Is there a meaningful distinction between extrasensory perception and Christian conceptions of spirituality and prayer?
- Reincarnation: We talk about the case of Bridey Murphy, the 19th-century Irishwoman who was purportedly reincarnated as a 20th century American housewife. What are we supposed to believe about the afterlife?
- Grief: So many conversations about the afterlife happen in the context of death & grief. Does profound grief open us up to alternate conceptions of the universe in a way that can be helpful – or is that simply our emotions talking?
- Clothes: Always the clothes. The Cecil Beaton gowns! The turbans! Be still, our hearts!
You’ll hear:
Yves Montand, Barbra Streisand and the cast of the film singing "Come Back To Me," "Love With All The Trimmings" and "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" as well as the Peddlers’ version of the film’s title song.
