Description

Each month, we challenge each other to watch a classic film and then discuss if it stood the test of time and if it is worth a revisit with modern eyes. Please join us as two pals chat about our shared love of the golden age of Hollywood.

Once again, TCM is the greatest channel on television. The balls to play this flick in the politics themed evening, and after the recent news... Good for them.
There are three main characters here... Cary Grant, Grace Kelly and the South of France. Each more beautiful than the last.
Murder She Wrote. The Thin Man. Columbo. Monk. Where does this version of Miss Marple fit into the pantheon of quirky detectives? Tune in and find out.

How can a 93 year old movie feel so modern?
Tis the season. Spooky season of course. Wow, is this movie rather shocking. I don't think we were prepared for what this 1943 flick had in store. Flawed? Heck yeah. But worth for few minutes to watch? Tune in and find out.
A restrained Terry Gilliam, an unleashed Robin Williams, a magnetic Mercedes Ruehl, and a stunning Michael Jeter. What more could you want?

Good movie, but boy oh boy it is hard to talk about. There is no plot to speak of and just tons of fun individual things to cover... and the elephant in the room... A fun messy episode.

It is so cool to watch a movie you know is good and not have a single spoiler with it. Always a good experience. Also, we're experimenting with awful AI thumb nails. Nailed it.

Every so slightly late on this release but we're still here and kicking. This was another example of a solid moving being remade. It is a really cool compare and contrast exercise.

Monologue after monologue in this one. And that is by no means a complaint. Each one tops the last. This is one of the funnier (and scarier) films we covered on this show. No way we do it justice.
Are we sure this wasn't a Canadian made for TV movie?

Is this spooky enough for the season? I don't know. Blame one of the Matts.
I used up all my characters on the title.
We sure are hitting a lot of classics recently.
Best. Movie. Ever.
We celebrate Pride Month with a rather progressive film for 1935. Ahead of its time? Yes! Actually a good movie? Well... tune in to find out.

This is certainly a heavy one! So much going on, but at the same time, not so much. I think we understand good chunks, but at the same time, not so much. Tough Russian science fiction does make for some fun chats. Sorry again for the audio being less than perfect.
Stone cold classic. Need we say more?
It's Morbin time! *oopsie with the audio this week. It'll be fixed in the next release*
