Movie of the Year: 1971Harold and Maude (feat. Van from the Gaymer Girls pod!)The Harold and Maude podcast episode is here — and the Taste Buds are diving deep into one of 1971's most subversive and life-affirming films. Hal Ashby's Harold and Maude (1971) has been a cult touchstone for over fifty years. This episode gives it the full PopFilter treatment. Ryan, Mike, and Greg welcome guest panelist Van Baumann from the Gaymer Girls podcast for a conversation about this singular film. It baffled studios, bombed at the box office, and somehow became a defining work of American cinema. Furthermore, this episode features a Rushmore segment on the most iconic May-December romances in movie history, plus a Shopping Spree. Consequently, this is one of the most spirited episodes of the Movie of the Year: 1971 series. About the Harold and Maude FilmDirected by Hal Ashby, Harold and Maude arrived in December 1971 as one of the most unusual films Paramount Pictures had ever released. The screenplay, written by Colin Higgins, began as his master's thesis at UCLA film school. It follows Harold Chasen (Bud Cort), a wealthy young man obsessed with death. Harold stages elaborate fake suicides to shock his emotionally absent mother. Moreover, he fills his days with funerals, hearses, and junkyards — searching for something authentic in a world of suffocating privilege. At one such funeral, he meets Maude (Ruth Gordon), a 79-year-old woman. Her boundless appetite for life stands in complete contrast to his morbid worldview. Above all, their unlikely friendship — and eventual romance — challenges every social convention the Hal Ashby 1971 film can find.The Harold and Maude film bombed on initial release. Critics were baffled, and audiences didn't know what to make of it. Nevertheless, it found its audience through midnight screenings and college campuses, eventually becoming one of cinema's defining 1971 cult classics. The Cat Stevens Harold and Maude soundtrack became inseparable from the film's identity. Notably, the Criterion Collection released a full restoration on Blu-ray in 2012. That cemented its status as a genuine classic. You can explore the full credits at its IMDb page. Guest Panelist: Van BaumannVan Baumann joins the Taste Buds for this Harold and Maude podcast episode. She co-hosts Gaymer Girls — a weekly podcast covering gaming, queer culture, and pop culture. Van and co-host Sana cover topics ranging from Baldur's Gate 3 to LGBTQ+ representation in gaming. Their wit and expertise extend to the cultural politics of the industry as well. Moreover, the show specializes in IP deep-dives for newcomers. Long-running franchises get broken down in ways that are accessible, funny, and genuinely informative.Van's perspective on the Harold and Maude film is a particularly fitting one. The 1971 cult classic resonates strongly with queer audiences for its anti-establishment energy and rejection of conventional romance. Additionally, her background in gaming culture and media criticism brings a fresh lens to Ashby's film. It is a perspective the Taste Buds couldn't provide on their own.Harold and Maude as Characters: An Unlikely Mirror in a Harold and Maude Podcast DiscussionAt the heart of the Harold and Maude film are two characters who could not appear more different on paper. Harold is young, wealthy, and surrounded by privilege — yet profoundly miserable. Maude is elderly and owns almost nothing. She has lived through extraordinary hardship. The film subtly implies she is a Holocaust survivor. However, both characters share a fundamental rejection of the life society has scripted for them. Harold's fake suicides are acts of rebellion against his mother's indifference. Meanwhile, Maude steals cars and uproots city trees without malice. She acts from a deep belief that the world belongs to everyone equally.Ruth Gordon's performance is magnetic. Gordon plays Maude not as a quirky old woman. Rather, she portrays someone who earned every ounce of joy through survival and deliberate choice. Bud Cort embodies Harold's blankness with quiet precision. His deadpan delivery makes every small shift in the character feel earned. Consequently, the chemistry between them feels less like a conventional romance and more like a transmission. Maude passes something essential to Harold before her time runs out. The Taste Buds and Van explore what makes these characters so enduring. Both discuss why the film still resonates more than fifty years later. Life and Philosophy: What the Harold and Maude 1971 Film Actually TeachesHarold and Maude is, at its core, a film about choosing to live. Specifically, it argues that joy is not something handed to you — it is something you practice, steal, nurture, and defend. Maude embodies this philosophy in every scene. She makes art and plays music with equal passion. Furthermore, she transplants a struggling tree from a concrete sidewalk to the open forest. She believes living things deserve better conditions than city concrete. Above all, she treats every encounter as an opportunity rather than an obligation.The Hal Ashby 1971 film engages with existentialism in a remarkably accessible way. It never lectures. Instead, it dramatizes the tension between Harold's death drive and Maude's life force. The audience feels the shift as the film progresses. In addition, Harold and Maude is bracingly anti-authoritarian — Harold's priest, his psychiatrist, and his militaristic uncle are all buffoons. Authority, Ashby and Higgins suggest, is part of what kills the spirit. Therefore, the film's philosophy is ultimately about sovereignty: the right to live, love, and die on your own terms. The Taste Buds unpack all of it across this Harold and Maude podcast episode.Legacy: How the Harold and Maude 1971 Podcast Goes Deep on a Cult IconFew films have had a stranger journey from flop to icon. The Harold and Maude film opened to near-universal bewilderment in 1971. Paramount barely knew how to market it. Nevertheless, word of mouth — particularly among countercultural and college audiences — kept it alive. By the late 1970s, it was a staple of midnight movie circuits. By the 1980s, it had influenced a generation of filmmakers. Notably, Wes Anderson has cited it as a key influence on his film Rushmore. Both films center on unlikely intergenerational bonds.Moreover, the 1971 cult classic has always commanded a substantial queer following. Its rejection of normative romance, its celebration of chosen family, and Maude's radical individuality have made it a touchstone for LGBTQ+ audiences for decades. Additionally, the Cat Stevens Harold and Maude soundtrack is among cinema's most celebrated. Stevens later converted to Islam and stepped back from this earlier work. Above all, Harold and Maude endures because it offers something rare: a film that insists life is worth living, and actually means it. For a bracket-style podcast covering the greatest films of 1971, this Hal Ashby film demands serious consideration.Rushmore: The Most Iconic May-December Romances in Movie HistoryIn this week's Rushmore segment, each panelist makes their case for the most iconic May-December romance in movie history. The prompt is inspired by the film itself — cinema's most famous age-gap romance. However, the Taste Buds range far beyond 1971 for their nominations. Furthermore, the debate gets heated fast as the panel navigates decades of Hollywood romance to crown their personal MVPs. Tune in to find out who made the cut — and whose picks got laughed out of the room.Shopping SpreeThe Taste Buds and Van also sit down for a Shopping Spree segment, one of PopFilter's beloved recurring features. Each participant brings a recommendation that pairs well with the episode's themes. Films, media, and cultural artifacts are all fair game. In addition, the segment is a chance for the panel to let their enthusiasms run free outside the main discussion. Notably, the Harold and Maude Shopping Spree delivers some particularly inspired picks. Listen in to find out what made the list.Why Harold and Maude Still MattersMore than fifty years after its release, the Harold and Maude film remains one of the most emotionally honest ever made. It refuses to sentimentalize death or romanticize youth. Instead, it argues that wisdom, joy, and love have no age limit. Choosing to be fully alive, it suggests, is the most radical act of all. Moreover, in an era of increasing conformity and algorithmic culture, Maude's anarchic embrace of experience feels more urgent than ever.The 1971 cult classic also matters as a document of its moment. 1971 was a year of profound cultural friction. The counterculture was fading, the Vietnam War continued, and a deep national anxiety had taken hold. Harold and Maude absorbed all of that tension and responded with something unexpected: grace. Consequently, it stands as one of 1971's most essential films and a worthy contender in PopFilter's Movie of the Year bracket. Additionally, Van Baumann's perspective adds a dimension the Taste Buds alone couldn't provide. This Harold and Maude podcast episode is a must-listen for fans of film and philosophy.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 1971

Oh hey, we were supposed to do something for the Viscount. Good thing that guy is still at the hanged man getting drunk and bragging about being an absolute shithead. Hawke gets some information out of the guy, a templar with the grand cleric's seal abducted the qunari and paid our drunkard to turn his head. We don't get the opportunity to speak with Grand Cleric Elthina, though, because Mother Petrice intercepts us to say that the grand cleric would never sanction such a thing but surely it's fine because she trusts her subordinates to do the right thing. If we press Petrice, then she will sacrifice her trusted bodyguard Ser Varnell and label him a fanatic. She gives us his location and arrives on our heels to disavow Varnell's actions and set Hawke up as the coming retribution. One dead templar later, the Viscount has a huge headache to deal with.

Another day, another friend needs our help. Merril reveals to us why she left her clan, a dark mirror that her people associate with evil due to the perceived role it played in the death of one of their people. Merril, convinced that the mirror holds the key to restoring a piece of elven history, is determined to repair it using blood magic. The mirror is incomplete and she needs a relic from her people to finish it–a relic that she must ask the keeper for. Afraid of her mother figure, Merril asks us to accompany her on this quest. Along the way, Merril receives the cold shoulder from everyone in her clan due to her work with demons and blood magic. This fear leads to the death of an innocent hunter and we must decide whether or not to support Merril's mission.

Anders needs help finding evidence of a plot to make all mages in Kirkwall tranquil. The squad creeps through the underground passage that leads into the Gallows, fighting spiders and Lyrium smugglers along the way. At the end of the passage, our target Sir Alrik is terrorizing a mage girl who only wanted to see her mom. Justice (or perhaps he is now Vengeance) takes control of Anders, feeding off their shared anger. Sir Alrik and his soldiers are killed but that leaves a very frightened young woman who has never seen anything like Vengeance before. She, justifiably, calls him a demon and cowers. Vengeance doesn't like this. Once all is said and done, Anders has fled the passage and we must go back to his clinic to check on him and perhaps show him how far the tranquil solution has gotten.

With the wheel stopped spinning, their lives continue to spin out of control as the Boys talk about the latest Wheel of Time season, managing NPC's in your TTRPG, and some rougelike realness that will get everyone looking for their own personal inheritance. All of that and more in this timely episode of Gayme Boys!

We find Sebastian in the Chantry talking to Grand Cleric Elthina. Despite killing Flit Company mercenaries, there is more to be done for the prince of Starkhaven. He has discovered that his family's allies, the Harimanns are responsible for the murder of his family. He doesn't want to provoke a war, but it isn't the best idea for the sole heir to walk into enemy territory alone. Thankfully Hawke is the kind of person who gets voluntold into things and will help Sebastian whether they like it or not. Upon entering the estate, Sebastian comments that something isn't right–which is proven as we encounter each member of the household. Drunk, mad, and sex crazed, no one of the house even registers our presence until we attempt to press further into the expansion underground. After some demon confrontations, we continue into the underground ruins where shades, rage demons, skeletons, and revenants all try to slow us down. At the end, we find Lady Harimann kneeling before a desire demon demanding more power. Can the desire demon persuade us to her side? Is Sebastian truly as altruistic as he believes?

The Arishok informs Hawke that there was a theft. Someone stole what they thought was the formula for explosive gaatlock powder but it was switched out with the formula for a poisonous gas. After a long trek through a smuggler's cave, Hawke confronts the obvious thief, Javaris, only to discover he's the fall guy and the real thief is an elf woman. Back to Lowtown Hawke goes to find a side alley covered in a green gas. After some fighting and closing off the gas barrels, Hawke comes face to face with the real thief and learns more about her motivations. Once all is done, Hawke returns to the Arishok to deliver the news–and to be given further insight into the Qunari occupation.

IT'S TIME. After we give Bartrand our gold and maps, then it's time to select our party and get going. But not before Leandra begs us to leave our little sibling home. She never wants us to do anything fun. No matter who Hawke takes along, it is a long march through the deep roads until we hit a cave in. Hawke must take initiative and clear out the dangerous side passageways of darkspawn before the party can progress. Along the way, we find a familiar face with some familiar and yet still mind boggling enchantments/not enchantments. Once we find the creepy primeval thaig, everything goes to shit. Batrand betrays us over an idol made of lyrium, we discover some ancient hungry rock wraiths, and a demon offers us a deal so we can leave. Will everyone survive the expedition? What becomes of the Hawke family? Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our amazing logo as well as to Miracle of Sound for the song Age Of The  Dragon, which we use as our theme music.

Hawke receives a mysterious letter requesting a meeting on the wounded coast to save some innocent lives. When Hawke and company arrive, it is Ser Thrask, our templar acquaintance whose own mage daughter chose to die rather than live in the circle. Thrask informs Hawke that there are apostate mages hiding in the caverns behind him. They escaped while being transported from Starkhaven to Kirkwall. Thrask begs Hawke to convince the mages to surrender because if they don't, another templar who has less room in his heart for mercy will flat out kill them all without giving it a second thought. Through the cavern Hawke goes to fight many skellingtons and come face to face with Decimus, the leader of this band of apostates. Decimus refuses to talk to us, takes us to be Templar allies immediately, and initiates a fight. Once he's dead, Hawke must decide what to do with the remaining mages. Submit them to the circle or help them flee. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our amazing logo as well as to Miracle of Sound for the song Age Of The  Dragon, which we use as our theme music.
