This note appeared (from Bill) in the script last night, for the block in which Rachel had to deliver a breathless, headlong description of the plot from Capricorn One. You can see, below, how we did.

It was a funny movie-tell! 70s movies rule! Although M.A.S.H. doesn't age well. The casual sexism just drives me batty.
Today at work I had to try to movie-tell a young co-worker why I referred to Master-Blaster, which led to Thunderdome, Auntie, and Mad Max, all of which got blank stares.
It's hell getting old. Tell the tell! Give somebody the stick with the spinning vinyl on it!
You misspelled Hal Holbrook and Elliot Gould.
Now I'm paranoid that you have no staffers above the age of 30.
This was fun! And I'd totally volunteer to be an older staff member!
Ahhh... CAPRICORN ONE... I saw the movie when I was 13, when it opened in 1978. For it's time... it had everything... crazy plot, "all-star" cast, fantastic score by the late Jerry Goldsmith...
Every time the RWNJ's talk about "conspiracies to the highest level", I think of how idiotic they sound. When they say anything about helicopters, I always think of CAPRICORN ONE and even, THE X FILES: FIGHT THE FUTURE.
Like others have said, I say the name of the movie, I just get weird looks. Even the cast, they look at me with a vacant look. Yeah, you had to be there. They just don't make movies like this any more. Sad.
Funny when you say James Brolin is the Barbara Streisand guy. Would have been even funnier if you had repeated it for Elliot Gould...lol
The 1970s, the last great decade to be a kid....

Oy, I remember being dragged to watch Capricorn One. I like science fiction so my parents were all "It's science fiction right? You like it right?" What made it even "better' is that my idiot step-grandfather was one of the moon hoaxers. And of course we heard all about it.
