Good Film Hunting

Introducing the newest podcast in the "Hunting for Good" Media World - "Anne Hunting Love." Anne, one of the creators and producers of Good Film Hunting is going on a new journey... into the world of online dating! Follow along as she goes on 21 dates in 30 days!

Our friend Brie picks Disney's animated take on The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) to discuss as an important film from her childhood, and we dig into how it has made a broader impact on how we approach injustices and reach out to people whom society views as outcasts.

Our talented friend Katie Melody dives into her passion of food and cooking with her favorite movie Julie and Julia (2009). Along with her take on Julie's and Julia's very different forays into cooking, we learn a lot about Katie's career of choice and about food styling and food in media in general. Find Katie at @kindnesswithkatie on Instagram!

Lizzie McGuire was one of many great Disney Channel original TV shows during our childhood. Our friend Chelsea joins us to discuss her love of The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003) that came out of that show, even though she'd never watched the show beforehand.

We dedicate our final holiday episode of the year to Nurse Sheila by talking with her daughter Colleen Hughes about Christmas Vacation (1989). Find out what we think our families' most Christmas Vacation-like memories are and why we think this classic can make every generation laugh year after year.

This week we switch gears away from older, more classic Christmas movies, and toward Netflix's new holiday rom-com The Princess Switch. We talk with our friend Ashley about the merits of this movie and whether it's worth the watch.

Holiday classic Home Alone (1990) touches on enduring themes while highlighting crazy antics by a clever kid and some bungling thieves. We talk with our friend Erin in this episode, who is a huge fan of all things Christmas and shares her love of the holiday spirit and lets us know why October 17 is the right day to begin listening to Christmas music.

Our cousin John has a lot of opinions about Tom Hanks and his body of work. We discuss picks and pans with him, with plenty of decade-plus old spoiler alerts along the way. (If you have somehow managed to not watch Castaway as of 2018, you're on your own.)

In our re-release of this episode on a classic Katharine Hepburn film, we talk with Anne Kelly about The Philadelphia Story (1940). Anne sure knows her stuff, as she previously watched all of Hepburn's films chronologically and documented this experience (thefilmexperience.net/blog/tag/a-year-with-kate), and she schools us on some other fun facts, too. Something about the approaching holidays makes us suckers for a good classic film!

Our guest this week, filmmaker AJ Berna, grew up watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles since he was three. He schools us on some of the history and origin of the TV show and movies, and we learn if he or either of our hosts were ever tempted by some of the "bad" behavior from the movie. Cowabunga, dude!
