Zach is joined by podcaster Hope Sears (All of the Classics) to find out about the amazing things a letter can do when they discuss Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 classic, 'The Shop Around The Corner'.

Head on over to Matuscheck's with them as they break down the many wonderful characters inhabiting the shop, revel in the balance between light frivolity and sincere drama, praise Frank Morgan up and down, share their favorite moments in the film, look into how the films romantic tropes hold up today, and dig into how this may be Lubitsch's most personal piece.

But not everything in the shop is there to teach, much will be there to make you smile as they ponder how a 'Shop Around the Corner' TV Spinoff play out, hear the origins of Jimmy Stewart, listen to Lubitsch discard Nerd Logic, assure the character Rudy that he wont be eaten, and bow at the altar of everyones favorite clerk, PEPI!

PLUS : Jimmy Stewart describes a scene from Clerks 2.
