Ode To Billy Joe (Episode 125) - Hot Dat with Dan and Vicky

Based on the popular folk song of the same name by Mississippi born singer Bobbie Gentry, Ode to Billy Joe was a huge hit when released in the summer of 1976.  The film was the brainchild of Max Baer Jr., best known for playing Jethro Bodine in the popular 60's sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies.  When acting jobs became scarce after the cancellation of the show Baer put his focus on film production and made and starred in what was thought to be the most successful independent film of all time, 1974's Macon County Line, until The Blair Witch Project surpassed it in 1999.   Dan and Vicky discuss the Southern teen drama on this week's episode along with plenty of recently seen like The Dark and the Wicked, Allen vs Farrow, A Promising Young Woman, Raya and the Last Dragon and Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
