The Apartment

For our final episode for 2022, we've invited Kay Lynch back for a game of gin rummy and a discussion on Billy Wilder's groundbreaking 1960 comedy/drama The Apartment. Listen as we examine the movie's amazing mix of humor and pathos, praise Jack Lemmon's amazing comedic abilities, and criticize corporate culture language-wise, morality-wise, and everything-wise. Warning: Contains discussion of suicidal ideation, explicit language, spoilers, and Tim's clunkiest joke yet.

Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing.

Episode 65: Wings

All set? OK! On this episode we take flight with the first film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, William Wellman's aerial war epic Wings from 1927. We discuss the amazing stunt work and how the film set the template for decades of war movies. Meanwhile, Tim offends the Fatherland with his bad German accent and Corinne illustrates the importance of good coffee to the movie-watching experience. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and bubbles, bubbles everywhere!
