This month Matt & Matt celebrate a bit of Halloween in August with one of the earliest (and best?) screen adaptations of the classic tale of Jekyll and Hyde. It is also the oldest film we've covered yet, so does this version stand the test of time or does it age poorly? Would this still stagger the devil himself? Tune in and find out. 

This month we take our first trip to TCM's Noir Alley with 1947's They Won't Believe Me. This one stars Father Knows Best's Robert Young as a philandering playboy who gets mixed up with three women. Before long, bodies start piling up, but were any crimes actually committed? 

Should this crime drama find a place among the classics or does it deserve to be overlooked? Let's find out!

In our first full episode, we review the fascinating Purple Noon (1960). This is the original adaptation of the 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. It was adapted again in 1999 with Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow. We came prepared to talk about all three versions. How does the 1960 version stack up? Does it stand the test of time as a character study? How does it address the complex sexuality of Tom Ripley? Tune in and find out. 

What a great way to start out the new show!

Matt and Matt are getting back into the podcasting saddle for something a little different. We're going to be diving into the world of classic (and likely obscure) films. We can't be more excited. In this episode, we shake off some of the rust and explain the new format, plus we announce what we'll be reviewing first.
