    Jackie and Greg soak up Miami's resort life for Billy Wilder's SOME LIKE IT HOT from 1959. Topics of discussion include the film's status as one of the most popular comedies ever made, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis' pairing, whether the film plays into Marilyn Monroe's image as a "dumb blonde" or not, and where it fits into Wilder's filmography.

  • Barry Lyndon [1975]

    Jackie and Greg don their powdered wigs and dueling pistols for Stanley Kubrick's BARRY LYNDON from 1975. Topics of discussion include the film's origins as a Napoleon biopic, the lead performance from Ryan O'Neal, how its reputation has grown over the years, and why the public discourse needs to evolve beyond the look of the film (which, we agree, is stunning).

  • Rancho Notorious [1952] // S'mores

    Jackie and Greg try their hand at the game of chuck-a-luck for Fritz Lang's RANCHO NOTORIOUS from 1952. Topics of discussion include the film's absurdity, Lang's falling out with Marlene Dietrich, what they would change in a remake, and how Arthur Kennedy does more harm than good in the lead role.

  • La Dolce Vita [1960]

    Jackie and Greg join the swinging parties of 1960s Rome for Federico Fellini's LA DOLCE VITA. Topics of discussion include the film's decadence, sex and celebrity as the new religion, how it marked a transition for Fellini from the more grounded films of the 1950s into his more bombastic work, and the amount of visual detail he packs into the film to help tell his story.
