In this Universal 1934 Studios Year by Year episode, we discuss the original There's Always Tomorrow, starring Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes (remade by Douglas Sirk in the 50s with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck) and the bizarre Claude Rains ve... more
For the final episode of our Isabelle Huppert Spotlight, we watched two movies with a colonial setting: Rithy Panh's The Sea Wall (2008), based on the novel by Marguerite Duras, and Claire Denis' White Material (2009). Disturbing eroticism as a lens ... more
Our text for this 1934 RKO Studios Year by Year episode is a William A. Seiter double feature distinguished by ultra-manipulative heroines and a simultaneous fascination with and unsubtle criticism of the rich: the comedy We're Rich Again, which earn... more
Our Family Freak-Outs series continues to go from strength to strength as we examine Douglas Sirk's Written on the Wind (1956) and Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea (2016), a couple of masterpieces of American cinema in radically different mod... more

…for doing this. It’s just such a joy to listen to you two talk about movies. Why? Because I’ve found someone who’s seen more than me, and because you are informed, well read, with - I’m guessing here - a strong cultural theory background. Most importantly, you just dig movies, which means I dig you too.
Love that this duo is being covered. Look, it was the 1930s; do you want to chastise something that happened 90 years ago? Astaire never meant to insult Robinson. Are you both ok with Shirley Temple dancing with Robinson, or is she just a child racist? So ridiculous.
Elise just tears apart these films unless they follow her narrative.
Now I see an older episode where you refer to Tyrone Power as nominal.
Go back to calling everything and everyone racist.

Elise and Dave deep dive old movies with the aplomb of decades-long film critics. You WILL learn something new every episode, and they’ll make you want to see the films they shine a light on. A must-listen for film buffs!
Witty and engaging as David and Elise are, they’re not shy about getting into it on any given topic.
Whether they’re exploring the personae of undervalued actors or trying to work out what could possibly constitute a satisfying ending to a long-running serial narrative, it’s this seriousness of purpose and deep literary knowledge that really sets this duo apart.
