It's been 30 years since Tom Hanks told Houston he had a problem and the same number of years since he first growled, "Reach for the sky!" to space traveler Buzz Lightyear. Apollo 13 and Toy Story both were released when his career was at its peak, hot off two consecutive Oscar wins. A nostalgic revisiting of both of these films that catapulted Hanks into space one way or another.

It's the conclusion of my 2-part discussion with special guest Jacquelyn Shulman about her experience as a producer and director in the film industry! She reflects on the creative process, the power of art, and the significance of everyone tapping into their creative side in some way. The former intern on the second season of the series Sex and the City, participant in TV work on shows like First 48 and Nightwatch, and associate producer of the Oscar-nominated documentary feature Jesus Camp (2006) has lots of insight to pass on! Part 2 of a 2-parter. (Regular features, including the interactive listener trivia, the listener poll, the cooking segment Cinemunch, and entertainment news will be back in episode 26!)

It's a Jack Lemmon two-fer with two classic comedies, Some Like It Hot, directed by Billy Wilder and co-starring Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe, and The Odd Couple, directed by Gene Saks, based on Neil Simon's Tony-winning Broadway comedy, and co-starring Walter Matthau! The two-time Oscar-winning actor, who was equally adept at comedy and drama, was an onscreen force to be reckoned with.

Sometimes films we enjoy were not exactly box office sensations. In fact, sometimes, they landed in theaters with a resounding thud. In this episode, my friend Chad joins me for a look at two films that deserve more attention than what they initially got. He chose Babylon, and I chose the Green Knight.

Steve Carell. Paul Rudd. Jane Lynch. Seth Rogen. Jason Segel. Romany Malco. Judd Apatow. With comedians like this, it's a guarantee that, among all of them, having churned out 2005's The 40-Year-Old Virgin and/or 2009's I Love You, Man, they create raunchy comedy that you won't soon forget, whether or not you want to try! A look at both outrageous films will make you either laugh or cry. Plus, poll results, entertainment news, the cooking segment Cinemunch, and interactive listener trivia!

Danny Boyle brings something special to the subgenre of the "zombie film" in directing a tale of a rage-fueled virus threatening to dominate the human race.

Special guests Dani and Woifi of The Collections of Cinema Podcast bring their insights into what are ostensibly zombie flicks but perhaps something more.

36 years ago this month, actress Rebecca Schaeffer was on the brink of superstardom, not only because of the acting credits she had already accumulated in her 21 years, but also because of her excellent prospects with director Francis Ford Coppola. Tragically, she is more remembered for her tragic murder at the hands of an obsessed stalker than for her work. This meticulously researched episode is a love letter to the young woman whose name and memory should go further than the anti-stalking legislation that her death brought about. If you or anyone you know have been affected by crime, visit victimconnect.org for a weekday helpline for emotional support and your legal rights and options. Also visit rainn.org for resources for survivors of stalking and cyberstalking. Rebecca's story entails these issues that may be triggers for some, so listener discretion is advised.
