I&#8217;m up to Cher&#8217;s show in Monte Carlo in the very early 1980s now (watched it last night), a show which marks an important new chapter in Cher shows. I&#8217;ll have that up soon.<\/p>\n<p>And in the middle of all this, I asked Robrt Pela if he would sit for a conversation about the Sonny &amp; Cher 1967 movie <em>Good Times<\/em> since its director William Friedkin has just recently passed.<\/p>\n<p>And so that led to a deep dive into the movie which produced not only the conversation with Robrt but a scene-by-scene guide to the movie, probably a bit too much explication but there&#8217;s a lot going on in that movie so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;so&#8230;.we&#8217;re doing movies now.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, the dive into the movie revealed a lot of Easter Eggs, as Robrt calls them, and lots of meta-moments and commentary on show business, all under the sharp direction of Friedkin and colorful, mid-60s stylings of teen-<em>Batman<\/em>-culture.<\/p>\n<p>I remembered the movie as a kind of sentimental, silly romp from childhood.
