166. Midnight Cowboy (1969)

This week, we review Midnight Cowboy (1969), John Schlesinger's gritty drama exploring loneliness, disillusionment, and survival on the fringes of society. Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman star as Joe Buck and "Ratso" Rizzo in a story that explores an unlikely friendship forged amid poverty and desperation in the seedy underbelly of New York City. With a naive Texan hustler chasing the American Dream only to find broken promises and hard truths, this film raises intriguing questions about the cost of chasing fantasy in a world that doesn't care.

Is this cowboy riding into the sunset or riding straight into ruin? Listen on to find out!
