Wake up, all you smoke dreamers! It's time to talk about the best married couple in all of film history: Nick and Nora Charles!

After the Thin Man is a 1936 comedy-mystery film from director W.S. Van Dyke, starring William Powell, Myrna Loy, and Jimmy Stewart. It's the direct sequel to the wildly popular Thin Man film made two years before, which itself was based on a novel by Dashiell Hammett.

In this follow-up, detectives Nick and Nora Charles arrive back home in San Francisco on New Year's Eve, fresh off their mystery-solving success in New York. But a new year brings new crimes, and the bantering couple finds themselves drawn into a murder mystery involving a member of Nora's snobby family.

And let's just say that this after party truly gets one thing right by centering things around the fun banter of Nick and Nora. We get a lot of chemistry between Powell and Loy, as they piece together a rather silly mystery involving bad singing, lost security deposits, and Jimmy Stewart at his most zany.

Listen to Áine and Kevin sit around the fire, puffing on some smoke dreams and all the delightful wackiness of this old film. We'll chat about awkward live entertainment at restaurants, the Scooby Gang, and the insanity of a beloved dog character getting cucked right onscreen in this picture.
