Being There Is Cinema’s Greatest Rorschach Test | CineFix Top 100

“I like to watch.”

From director Hal Ashby, Being There is wildly intelligent movie about an incredibly unintelligent man. Peter Sellers stars with Shirley MacLaine in a story about a simple-minded gardener and the power brokers who seem to think he’s a genius. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the power of projecting only what we want to see, how films can become eternally relevant and who has the bigger fan base, the Chicago Bears or the film While You Were Sleeping.

Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm has its seasons. First it has Spring and Summer, but then it has Fall and Winter. And then it has Spring and Summer again…
