August 01, 2025 / Sophie Kempenaar

Milos Forman’s Best Picture-winning ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST turns 50 this year, which gives Adam and Josh an excuse to revisit the film (which is already in the Filmspotting Pantheon) and to celebrate the long and illustrious career of its charismatic star with their Top 5 Jack Nicholson Scenes. Plus, Adam recommends the new doc ARCHITECTON and Massacre Theatre.
