It Don't Worry Us, Ep. 5 — Minutes 5:10–6: Opal from the BBC

In the latest episode of their minute by minute discussion of Robert Altman's epochal film Nashville, Haven stops everything to have Opal thrown out of his studio, and Nashville gives us its first burst of overlapping dialogue. Jason Sacks and Dan Story explain the Lion's Gate 8-track sound system behind it, ask how far "I'm Opal from the BBC" could get you in 1975, and look at Bud snapping to attention when his father calls him "Buddy." Plus Haven's double standard about studio guests, Henry Gibson's career, and the what-if of Robert Duvall playing Haven Hamilton. 00:50 Altman's overlapping dialogue 01:55 "I'm Opal from the BBC" 07:08 The 8-track sound system 10:12 Bud and "Buddy" 16:01 Henry Gibson's performance 21:44 What if Robert Duvall played Haven?
