Eric Trommater, Sila Blume and Erin Brown discuss commedia all’italiana and Mario Monicelli's 1963 film "The Organizer." The film stars Marcello Mastroianni as a High School teacher turned labor organizer in Turin at the end of the 19th century. With a screenplay by Age & Scarpelli and cinematography by Giuseppe Rotunno the film should have been a classic in both Italian Comedy and Neo-Realism but instead was almost forgotten until a restored version appeared in 2012.

Eric Trommater, Erin Brown and Sila Blume get a rare chance to discuss a film while it's still playing in American theaters. Paola Cortellesi's surprise hit "C'è ancora domani (There's Still Tomorrow)" is a comedy about domestic abuse in the aftermath of the Second World War in 1946 Rome. Filmed in black-and-white and in the Romani dialect it's a throwback to the neo-realist films of pioneers like Roberto Rosselini and Vittoria de Sica.

Erin Brown hosts a conversation with Eric Trommater about Taika Waititi's 2010 coming of age comedy "Boy ." Years before directing "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Jo Jo Rabbit," Waititi had a huge hit in New Zealand with this story of an 11-year-old Maori boy meeting his father after a 6-year absence. Erin and Eric were both huge fans of the movie. Eric was less enthusiastic about Waititi's performance as Boy's father than he was the direction and writing. Erin, on the other hand, felt Waititi was perfect in the role What did you think? Let us know in the comments.
