One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) w/ Ben Hosley
“Which one of you nuts has got any guts?” – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) This week, we check into the ward with special guest Ben Hosley, producer of Blank Check with Griffin and David, to take on Miloš Forman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. One of only three films to sweep the “Big Five” Oscars, this anti-establishment classic remains a cultural touchstone. We dive into Jack Nicholson’s electric performance, Louise Fletcher’s chilling turn as Nurse Ratched, and how the film captures the shifting American psyche of the 1970s. Join us as we explore how Cuckoo’s Nest earned its place in the National Film Registry—and why it still packs a punch nearly 50 years later.
