## Resource

CISCO PIKE was Bill L. Norton’s directorial debut, Kris Kristofferson’s first screen credit, and just another Coked Up Crazy Ass White Boy role for Gene Hackman. A musician turned drug dealer wants to pull a 180 and go back to the music biz after a stint in the pen. But he spent the Summer of Love behind bars, and when he gets out, he finds out the ‘70s ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Karen Black and Harry Dean Stanton support as his hapless passengers, adjusting in their own ways to the new bummer decade. On this Cody-less episode, we’re discussing crooked cops, cusp-of-the-decade vibes, how we’d sell 200 keys of giggle smoke, and whether or not Tom Hanks is hot.
