The tablemates come together to discuss 1964 Best Picture Tom Jones. While not anyone's favorite, Dan does a great job explaining to his guests why this movie is worthy.  It is clear that British humor is landining on American shores.

Also, Dan introduces a new segment called Listener Ledgers...you too can give us your opinion on the weekly movie we are discussing.

Finally, our guest Steve Shulkers, gave us great "participation trophies"--as Dan called them, and they cam in just in time as the podcast is now over one year old.

Tonight the gang enjoyed 1962's best picture West Side Story. The Shakespeare tale of Romeo and Juliet is told in 1950's New York City in a fight between two ethnic juvenile groups. The music, choreography and story make this a timeless classic. 

We have Kate's delicious cooking and special guest Carla Maragano, Dan's daughter in-law to discuss this beautiful work of art.

This week the Gang gathered for brunch to discuss one of Dan's top five movies of all time--1959 Best Picture Ben-Hur.  Gathered around with Bloody Mary's and Mimosa--the Jesus adjacent movie with Charlton Heston as Judah Ben-Hur is one for all time.  
The cinematography and the scenery make this movie one for the ages. While everyone at the table was impressed with the movie--Dan was disappointed in his tablemates lack of affection for the film.

Pull up a chair for a yummy brunch and we hope you enjoy the conversation!
