E44 - Top Hat (1935)

Jan 27 2025 57 mins

We return this month to the timeless Astaire/Rogers filmography. This is certainly a massively popular classic, but is it actually timeless? Does the storyline stand the test of time? The chemistry? The outrageous gay coding?

E43 - The Bishop's Wife (1947)

Be good for goodness sake... or else Angelic Cary Grant will come down and take your wife.

E42 - Air Force (1943)

Nov 29 2024 59 mins

Is there much to talk about for a straight up propaganda film? Turns out... not so much...

E41 - The Seventh Victim (1943)

Oct 30 2024 64 mins

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.

E40 - The Parallax View (1974)

Sep 22 2024 71 mins

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.

E39 - To Catch A Thief (1955)

Aug 26 2024 60 mins

There are three main characters here... Cary Grant, Grace Kelly and the South of France. Each more beautiful than the last.

E38 - Murder Most Foul (1964)

Jul 29 2024 54 mins

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.

E37 - M (1931)

Jun 19 2024 66 mins

How can a 93 year old movie feel so modern?

E36 - The Fisher King (1991)

Jun 18 2024 71 mins

A restrained Terry Gilliam, an unleashed Robin Williams, a magnetic Mercedes Ruehl, and a stunning Michael Jeter. What more could you want?

E35 - Annie Hall (1977)

Apr 28 2024 60 mins

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.
