How Bette Davis Saved My Life episodes
- Golden Girl Loves Golden Boy; 1972's "Harold and Maude".
Hal Ashby's counter culture cult classic rings uncomfortably true unfortunately for a lot of young men. Find out how twenty something Harold finds true love with eighty year old, happy go lucky Maude. Morbidity was never so LOL!
32 min - What is a "The Women" (1939)?
Girrrl... get yo' man! Joan Crawford vs. Norma Shearer for the title of Mrs. High Valued Man!

43 min - No Justice, No Piece...of BRAAAINNS!!!: "Night of The Living Dead" (1968)
Who knew a 54 years old zombie movie would inspire better race relations today? Hmmm...
George Romero's classic is groundbreaking on so many unexpected levels that it is shocking that the film was made!
26 min - We See You, Tom Collier: "The Animal Kingdom" (1932)
Mmm hmm...This movie is one of the reasons why we lament over the lost of quality of film making that was pre-code films. The steamy love triangle between Myrna Loy, Leslie Howard and Ann Harding's characters is super saucy and ripe with smart dialouge that educates its audience on male and female sensuality and sensibility. True life lessons from classic Hollywood indeed!

36 min - Ripped from The Headlines?!: "Seven Days in May" (1964)
Our number one crush, Burt Lancaster, co-stars with an Oscar winning, acting powerhouse cast featuring Kirk Douglass, Ava Gardner, Fredrich March, Edmond O'Brien and Martin Balsam. Legendary director, John Frankennheimer directs a screen play written by Mr. Twilight Zone himself, Rod Serling, based on the best selling novel of the same name.
This is truly an elite, classic Hollywood suspense film about political intrigue involving the White House, the U.S. Military and nuclear disarmament! No sides are given, but lines are clearly blurred and may have been crossed when it comes to a possible fatal power struggle!

35 min - Break Out The Tissue!: "Back Door to Heaven" (1939)
What do you do when life railroads you on the wrong side of the tracks you're from? Wallace Ford gives an Oscar snubbing performance as Frankie Rogers, a guy who just can't catch a break until he breaks out! This movie is the epitome of the saying, "you can never go home". And, some times it's for the best!

36 min - "Gone with The Wind" (1939)A southern belle experiences love and lost as she comes into womanhood during the U.S. Civil War.FacebookYouTube1 hr
- Knee Slappin', Rib Pokin' Funnin'!: "Ruggles of Red Gap"Charles Laughton gives another acting clinic on facial expressions and underplaying emotions as a comedy device. His 1935 performance as Marmaduke (LOL) Ruggles, a loyal English butler gambled away to some zany Americans, played by Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles (a coincidence), to go and serve in the "wild west" of 1901's Red Gap is a classy classic comedy that never wastes a scene and is hi. la. ri. ous!YouTubeFacebook30 min
- "Good" Bette Is Great Bette!: "The Corn Is Green" (1954)Bad Bette is best, but Bette is Bette. So, Bette is always better than the rest! "The Corn Is Green" was one of her first roles as an almost saintly educator who teaches a young man and his Welsh coal mining town the value of education.FacebookYouTube33 min
- Freddy Mac Does It Again...w/ Kim N. : "Pushover" (1954)Think of Fred MacMurray's Paul Sheridan as Walter Neff's (Double Indemnity) dumb, slightly younger nephew who learned nothing from Uncle Dummy about shady blondes! Kim Novak co-stars as said blonde . This is her film debut and she smokes up the screen with her low, raspy voice and outfits! Catch Fred Macmurray in his last film noir. Don't sleep on this sleeper!YouTubeFacebook31 min
