As we cross into 1950, the guys at 1001 by 1 are going to finally to chat about one of the most prolific directors of this era by discussing two of his film in consecutive episodes. That director is Billy Wilder and the first film we’ll be discussing is “Sunset Blvd.”. During the episode, Adam ranks all five films nominated for Best Picture in 1950, Ian doesn’t fall into his normal trap (we’ll explain), and both guys have quite the hot take on the “Die Hard” franchise. And be on the lookout for the first film to be made by 1001 by 1 – the unauthorized biopic on New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther (sure to be a doozy). Also, this week Ian recommends “Stan and Ollie”(currently on Starz) and Adam recommends the entire Linklater “Before” trilogy – Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, (both available on HBO) & Before Midnight (currently available on Starz).
