 The Human tornado of classic film trivia Kristen Lopez (Journeys In Classic Film / Walt Sent Me Podcast) joins me to look at two classic yet highly influential films from the list.  Kicking things off with the film which gave us the jump scare, we have "Cat People" a film which might be deeper than its hokey shape shifter premise.   Also on the show we look at the grand daddy of exploitation cinema "Freaks" which would serve to kill director Todd Browning's career only got it to be later be proclaimed a classic when it was rediscovered years later.  

All this plus Kristen shares her highlights of the TCM film festival, I argue the cultural significance of James Bond and we discuss the portrayal of disabilities in cinema and much more!   *I also make the mistake of confusing Harold Lloyd (the star of "Safety Last") with Harold Ramis.
