Zach welcomes back podcaster and Cary Grant aficionado Ryan Frost (Reel Nerds Podcast) for a trip to the port of Barranca to explore the lives and perils of its daring air mail pilots as they dig deep into Howard Hawks’ 1939 spectacular, ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS.

 

Buckle up for quite a wild flight as the two unpack the intriguing production history, learn how Hawks was able to bounce back after the debacle of ‘Bringing Up Baby’, talk through the star studded cast and the ups and downs they had working with Hawks, marvel at the stunning visual effects from real flight footage on down to miniatures, and then finally come in for a landing ready to summarize how the film has managed to keep entertaining audiences for generations.
