Who looks the most '70s' in Affleck's Argo?

There's not much else to say about Argo other than a) it looks awesome and b) the haircut and moustache duos are amazing. Because most film blogs have already done the former, let's find out who looks the most '70s in Ben Affleck's upcoming comedic thriller.

Feel free to listen to Led Zeppelin for the full sonic experience.

Argo Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck

At what point did Ben Affleck morph into late 90s There Is Nothing Left To Lose era Dave Grohl? Affleck pulls off the long hair and beard with aplomb though, capturing the '70s spirit at the heart of Argo. And thank fuck he's dropped the heavy Baaaastan aaaaccent. Rating: 8/10

Argo Ben Affleck
John Goodman

Whoa, John Goodman, did you not get the memo? This is a '70s picture, man. Why are doing with the 60s horn-rimmed glasses? I'm sure Don Draper would welcome him into the offices of Sterling Cooper with open arms but as the film producer in Affleck's story, well, he's just not up to scratch. Rating: 5/10

Argo Ben Affleck
Bryan Cranston

Breaking Bad? More like Breaking Rad. Sporting a scrotum coloured suit synonymous with the era, Bryan Cranston has rarely looked cooler. And that's saying something for a guy who has starred in one of TVs finest dramas. No, I don't mean Malcolm In The Middle. Rating: 8/10

Argo Ben Affleck
Philip Baker Hall

Hollywood's most popular 'that guy', Philip Baker Hall, couldn't look less '70s here if you gave him an iPad. We'll let him off just this once (judging by the amount of films he's in, I doubt he even knows what set he's on) but, really, the least he could do is grow a moustache. Rating: 4/10

Argo Ben Affleck
Scoot McNairy

Is he rocking a floppy hair and facial hair look like a boss? Yes. Is he dressed to impress? Yes. Do his glasses seemingly make up the most of the entire. circumference of his face? Oh, hell yes. Scoot McNairy looks more 70s than a cocaine fuelled disco night at the Watergate complex. Rating: 9/10
