Thanks, @soxonthebrain.bsky.social and @sonofkaras.bsky.social ! That was a great tribute and a really deep cut of television history! #CineMon

It doesn't go through Ohio, where this episode was apparently set, either... #CineMon

Thank you, CineMonsters, for joining @sonofkaras.bsky.social and me tonight, in saying goodbye to Robert Redford, whom we truly loved. I'm in tears, right now, listening to this outro. Nothing more need be said, except, RIP -- and thank you.

Two of my favorite, and most beautiful men, side-by-side: Redford and Obama.

OK... lol... I don't understand how Tod and Buz end up in Boston, in one episode (the frightening one with the white nationalist group, trying to blow up Boston), and in Gloucester, in another -- when Route 66 doesn't even go through here!! LOL (Seriously: WTF? ;)

CineMonsters: We close out the month of November by revisiting an old mainstay of ours: Night Visions. So, please join @sonofkaras.bsky.social & me, the next two weeks, for some supernatural, scary, and truly horrific scares! (Just in time for the holidays! lol ;)

I didn't look on IMDB. I used voice dictation, and asked Google. I should have known better. lol

#CineMon
Weird! IMDb lists him! #CineMon
November 11, 2025 at 3:58 AM
Yeah, they got it right; that wasn't Redford's role to play. Pacino embodied Michael Corleone--and Redford, The Candidate. Both came out in '72. (I think that Jeremiah Johnson was also released then.). (What a year, though, huh? Burt Reynolds: Deliverance; Gene Hackman, Poseidon Adventure) #CineMon
This gives me an idea of how he would've looked as Michael in the Godfather. I so glad Coppola insisted on Pacino #cinemon

This reminds me I studied Greek literature at the uni as an elective. It had nothing to do with my studies, but it was so cool to study about Homer. Ops, wrong Homer #cinemon

You know, I'd thought as much! And I then checked the cast listing, but didn't find him. Weird.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of it!

(He does a good accent, btw.)

#CineMon
That *is* Martin Balsam as the young woman's dad! #CineMon

If this were happening today, the first thing I'd suspect: ICE took her.

My co-host, @sonofkaras.bsky.social, might have an extra one you could borrow. ;)

I still need to see Three Days and Sneakers. I think I have a VHS cassette of Sneakers that I picked up somewhere for free but it's been years since I owned a VHS player. #CineMOn

OK, as for the title of this Route 66 episode -- First Class Mouliak: I had to look up the meaning of the word, "mouliak."
It's an ethnic slur.

Three Days of the Condor is part of the pantheon of great 1970s conspiracy films, along w/ Marathon Man, All the President's Men, Klute, The Parallax View, Capricorn One, et al. It's an great movie --a harrowing political thriller that will captivate u, and keep u thinking long afterwards.
#CineMon
This is one of those very famous films that I haven't seen yet. Thanks for the tip, my friend #cinemon

This still resonates today. Painfully so.

@silentbeauties.bsky.social If you haven't seen Three Days of the Condor, please do so, b/c it has lots of scenes with old-fashioned phones -- including one very clever manipulation of same by Redford's Condor. :)

LOL

This reminds me of when people used to claim that Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson so that she could get a recording contract LOL -- as if the daughter of the King of Rock and roll, couldn't walk into any studio, and cut a deal.

#CineMon
Ira Levin wanted Robert Redford to play Guy in Rosemary's Baby. I've always thought was silly, because no one who looked like Robert Redford would need a deal with the devil to get into movies. #CineMon
