After tackling Altman's first three feature directorial efforts in the season 04 premiere, Bjorn and Reece settle into the single picture per episode format that will continue throughout the rest of the Altman series. In this week's episode the duo take a deep dive into Altman's 1969 psychological drama, That Cold Day In The Park, starring Sandy Dennis as a woman who offers some respite from the rain to a young man who seems to be just as lonely as she is.
