Travis and Annie, with guest Alec, crash Oscar’s apartment and discover a world where chaos has furniture, laundry grows legs, and Felix’s neat freak energy threatens to implode reality. The Odd Couple (1968) is full of laughs, surprisingly tender friendship moments… and enough random horse references to make you question your own sanity. It’s messy, it’s ridiculous, and somehow the horses are the most stable thing in the room.

In this episode of Let the Movie Speak!, Travis and Annie open the file on Torn Curtain (1966), a Cold War thriller that quietly slips past expectations and starts playing its own game. Paul Newman, Julie Andrews, and Hitchcock all seem to be operating with information we don’t have yet, and that’s half the fun. We talk cover identities, controlled chaos, and why this mission works better than its reputation suggests. Call it underrated, misfiled, or hiding in plain sight—either way, it’s worth listening in before the curtain drops...or tears...or...whatever.

In this episode of Let the Movie Speak!, Travis and Annie slog their way through Mirage (1960), a Cold War paranoia thriller that’s far more confusing than clever. Gregory Peck spends the movie being handsomely lost, the plot is so baffling it feels like it’s actively dodging explanation, and the fight scenes play out like two guys gently asking each other to stop. We talk shady corporations, dialogue that thinks complexity equals depth, and a movie that really wants you to believe it’s smart—even when it clearly isn’t. Stylish in flashes and strangely exhausting, Mirage is one of those films that leaves you with plenty to think about—mostly about what just happened.

Frank Sinatra plays a Manhattan bachelor whose life is basically a cautionary tale in leisure suits. His naïve little brother moves in, bad decisions multiply, and there’s a painfully stupid song that somehow made it into a Hollywood movie. Travis and Annie revel in the sibling chaos, mock the hollow fantasy of bachelorhood, and silently judge Sinatra for aging like a legend while making life choices we wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot cocktail stirrer.

Travis and Annie ride into Sergio Leone’s dusty, dangerous world, but have no fear. They’ve brought along their secret weapon: a guest whose jokes hit harder than Eastwood’s stare. They break down ponchos, power plays, and why silent men with squinty eyes always seem to win. Can you really trust a town with two crime families and one coffin guy?

Annie and Travis find themselves prisoners in need of escape of a classic movie's massive reputation. Does a movie that tackles this material have any right to evoke laughs? Why does everyone love that darned motorcycle jump so much? Tune in while they dig into it.

In this episode, Annie and Travis trek into Kurisowa's sweaty crime thriller to see if they can find the kidnapped child, attempt to decipher the precise blocking, and get to the bottom of what really makes a terrible shoe. Listen in, share, subscribe, and comment wherever you get your podcasts!

Ah, the soothing snaps and whistles of an American classic. Broadway meets Hollywood in this brand new double-episode. That's right, double the movies means double the takes and double the viewing exhaustion from the hosts. Is the original an undeniable cinematic juggernaut? Did Spielberg do something close to the impossible half a century later? If Tony sings the word "Maria" one more time will she fall in love with him even faster? We answer all these and more in the latest episode.

Travis and Annie continue to see the 60's cinema they've shared from slightly different lenses. This one is a supposedly groundbreaking French New Wave classic that features an insufferable protagonist, jump cuts galore, and a story that reveals more on a rewatch than a first time viewing. Listen in and let us know whether Annie, in fact, has a point.

Travis and Annie begin an unlucky number of episodes exploring what 60's cinema has to offer. This week, they're staring into the (black and white) baby blues of a young Paul Newman in a story that includes pool, broken relationships, even more broken thumbs (and dreams), and yes, more pool.
