Show Notes

Our Presidential Series kicks off with an Oscar-wining masterpiece, Oliver Stone’s JFK! This film is unique in the series, in that it doesn’t focus on the actual president, but the mystery and confusion surrounding his murder. The Kennedy assassination is the greatest whodunit in American history, and Stone approaches it like a true crime thriller. Kevin Costner plays New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, whose obsession with the killing led to the only criminal trial in the case. Around him is an all-star cast, including Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, Kevin Bacon, Joe Pesci, Sissy Spacek, and many many more. Even at three hours, this film is packed with information. 


JFK is a master class in gripping entertainment, but what is its legacy? How did the government respond? Has new information come to light? How do Stone’s conspiracy theories hold up? Find out the answers in tonight’s Cinemavino!
