0:00.0	Hello and welcome to a very special episode of the cinefiles.
0:14.6	In fact, series of episodes because this week we are honoring the incredible Robert Redford,
0:20.0	who we lost just a few days ago. My name is Steve Morris. I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California. Hello, everyone. My name is John Rook. I'm a writer, producer, host, and voiceover artist here in San Diego, California. And we just did a, you know, a live show where we really went in depth on Redford's career and his influence. So I don't know that we need to go
0:38.1	so much into that. But what we're doing right now is doing a new intro for our exploration of
0:45.4	Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which, by the way, you led this one. And it's interesting. I was
0:51.0	thinking about this, John, and I was curious every once in a while, you say, and I have to lead it. And I'm always, we've done Hoosiers. We did sideways. We did Bouch Cassidy in the Sunniss Kid. And of course, the year without a Santa Claus. And I was just wondering, what is it about Bouch Cassidy and the Sundance kid that made you say, I have to run this? Well, let's, I want to clarify, when I say I have to run it, it's not a,
1:13.6	you're not ordering it around.
1:15.6	I don't mean it that way.
1:16.5	I like to run this.
1:17.6	You were very passionately committed to doing this episode.
1:21.6	I think because I, I wanted to explore it for myself, selfishly, because I've always
1:27.3	liked Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but it never had quite the magic for me that other Westerns have had because it is so, such a neo-Western that it takes me out of a little bit of the magic, cliche, and tropes that I love about some of the older westerns, John Wayne Westerns and what have
1:45.6	you. So for me, I wanted to do it because I wanted to explore it. I wanted to do, I want to find out
1:51.9	more about the film, more about it so that I could increase my appreciation for the movie.
1:58.3	And I was very happy I did so because I was super nervous about
2:01.3	leading this one, you know, because I don't do these. I don't lead these all the time. So I don't
2:04.5	have it in my bones as a practice thing. It's no big deal to lead one. So I was very concerned
2:10.2	about it. But I thought the episodes turned out well. And I thought we had some fantastic
2:14.4	discussions. And I came away with a much stronger appreciation,
2:18.7	not only for the movie and the construction of the film itself,
2:21.7	but for the performances and the acting work being done
2:25.1	by both Robert Redford and Paul Newman.
