Join Laura, Darryl and their special guest Lisa as they discuss the 1944 Frank Capra directed classic Arsenic and Old Lace.  With Cary Grant leading a perfectly cast group of oddballs, this dark, screwball, romantic comedy defies genre. While it is one of Laura and Lisa's favorite movies, Darryl talks about watching the movie for the very first time. 
Major Spoilers for the movie (and this time it really matters!)

Editing the Academy: Arsenic and Old Lace (Laura's Favorite #13)

Two friends get together to discuss the best picture nominees of each year starting in 1969. We discuss each nominated film in detail breaking down the technical aspects, character development, acting, story presentation, etc. But, we also chat about how they hit us...our emotional reactions. 

We try hard to let our modern filters fade and put ourselves in the mind frame of the year of release, but we’ll admit...it’s hard. 

So join us as we dive deep in these films and discuss whether academy made the correct choice that year. 

Feel free to join in the discussIO and agree or disagree, we only ask that you do so respectfully. 

Oh, and yeah...major spoilers for each film.
