Returning guest and friend to the show Nat Almirall joins us to talk about the great Otto Preminger. We debate the merits of his beloved noir mystery LAURA, and then praise the incredible melodrama, DAISY KENYON. We also touch upon his filmography later in the show including a couple of his classic courtroom dramas.  Before that, though, we have discussions about THAT AWKWARD MOMENT, GROUNDHOG DAY, and Patrick talks about indulging in some low-budget VHS horror films.
