Chaotic Cary Grant trying to cover for his serial killer aunts is the spooky screwball comedy we needed. this Frank Capra halloween classic is macabre fun at its finest. Starring Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Peter Lorre, Raymond Massey, Josephine Hull, and Jane Adair. Cheers!
Mad cap movies is the latest theme and only one of our films really fit that description. "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944) is the tale of two sweet, old ladies who show kindness to strangers by killing them. Cary Grant stars as their nephew Mortimer who finds out their secret and then zaniness ensues. "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" (1988) is great idea, but poorly executed and certainly not mad cap. A parody of Blaxploitation films, Wayans' debut film isn't very funny and not up to par with some of his later work.Next, deep cover is the theme with "Deep Cover" (1992) and "Eastern Promises" (2007).Did we get something wrong?

The exemplary black comedy ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (1944) gets covered for Scream Scene's horror adjacent bonus episode for March! Directed by Frank Capra, this film adapts the 1941 play of the same name from playwright Joseph Kesselring. Leaving Boris Karloff behind on Broadway, the film keeps the play's stars Josephine Hull, Jean Adair and John Alexander, replacing Karloff with Raymond Massey. And, of course, Cary Grant is here too! Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 49:04; Discussion 53:41
Our holiday break is over & we're back with a pre-Christmas episode about ARSENIC AND OLD LACE! Raquel talks about seeing John Waters live for her birthday! Raphael digs on ARSENIC because it's about serial killers on Halloween. Raquel loves how fun this film is in general. This is one of the best Frank Capra movies even though it doesn't fall into his standard Americana moralizing. As a film remake of a stage play it really works. Cary Grant is such the hilarious hunk. This movie also fits in the sweet spot of Hollywood between WW2 and before the HUAC hearings; a few years later it probably wouldnt have been made considering who made it. Somehow we manage a talk about policing issues & the last time Raquel met an officer that seemed to care about the community. A perfect “old movie” to show to someone who doesnt like “old movies” or is trying to get into them. The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through & through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a movie to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film. Feel free to write to us!

Ninth grade has been a whirlwind. It's my first year as an official high schooler, and I've figured a few things out. I'm not even talking about history or science; it's the important stuff like, well, life. Many of my old friends from elementary school vanished into the halls of my memory while new companions surfaced to the top of the pond surrounding MCHS. It's no one's fault; it's how life works, and that's alright. Playing football was never my dream, but I made the most of it for two years. Coach Horsey managed to convince me to stick it out with these wise words, "You have enormous shoulders, son, you need to play football." He may have been right about the width of my frame, but my heart wasn't in it at all. Some of those guys like Matt, Fred, Curtie, Russell, and David played the game since they were in diapers. My passion belonged somewhere else, and thankfully the sport at least taught me that. Mrs. Brown gave me my first small part last year in a play called Arsenic And Old Lace. In eighth grade, I was happy to get whatever I could and did my best working with the older high school kids. After giving it one hundred percent throughout the year, tryouts for Harvey were just around the corner, and I wanted that lead part. Of course, doubt was easy due to my lack of experience, but I had hope, which was more valuable than skepticism any day. Jimmy Stewart was always a hero of mine, from his personal life to his roles in cinema. He portrayed the main character, Elwood P. Dowd, in Harvey on Broadway and the silver screen. My goal was not to be James Stewart but to honor the man who'd entertained me for as long as I can remember. He was sincere and warm in every role he portrayed on screen and off, and that inspires me. My nerves were on edge all day, wondering when Mrs. Brown would announce the cast. Each time I'd see my buddy Deb around campus, I'd ask if she'd heard anything. Neither one of us was patient, and we both constantly checked for the list in between classes. She auditioned for the character of Myrtle and was equally as excited. Silently I prayed the director wouldn't award the part to a junior or senior in place of my freshman inexperience. Finally, the news was out, and I couldn't contain myself as I rushed to the little theater to check the results. A crowd huddled around the tiny sheet of paper taped to the wall, but I succeeded in breaking through for a look. Placing my finger at the top, I began to scroll down intently, reading the names, "Myrtle Mae Simmons - Debby, Veta Louise Simmons - Teresa, Elwood P. Dowd - Chris Sherron!" Jumping around and yelling was never my thing, but I did read the list three more times before stepping away from the wall to make sure. Plopping down in a chair, stage left, a genuine feeling of accomplishment forced my chest to swell with pride as I watched the cast form before my eyes. "Now the work begins," I thought as a smile emerged on my face. Each day for the next five, I devoted about six hours to studying lines at home. A three-act play is no joke, especially with speaking parts every time I turn the page. The thirty-plus hours of memorizing were plenty, along with the rehearsals after school five days a week. Getting the words down early on was vital so that I could focus on character development over the next thirty days. My peers deserved my best, and there was no way I'd let them down. While most students couldn't wait for the sixth period bell to sound so they could escape, I was hype for an entirely different reason. It meant that it was time to rehearse with people I'd grown to love. A week into practice, it didn't matter what grade we were in or what click we may have been part of because we were family. Guys like Rick and Chip were undoubtedly cooler than me, but all of that stuff faded away like the end of an act. Deb had me on experience, but she never hesitated to help out when I needed her for anything, and that's something special. What a team. The two Teresas, I'd have to say, were a bit intimidating in the beginning. They were both seniors and on the extreme side of bodacious. I recall reading through the script for the first time to discover a kissing scene with Nurse Kelly played by one of the Teresas. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't look forward to rehearsing that each day. Okay, it doesn't technically count as my first kiss, but it sure gave me lots of experience before the magic moment happened more than a year later. Maybe more football players would have switched over to drama had they known about the benefits. We had a packed house both nights. The audience was full of folks from all over the community, family, friends, and fellow students. Everyone knew what to do, and we were ready to put on a show no one would forget. The stage glowed as each character who'd evolved from the pages of a script came to life. We were spectacular. Several weeks earlier, my friend, Billy asked me why I put so much effort into performing. Aside from telling him that I loved doing it, there was no clear answer. It was something inside I couldn't shake, but beyond that, I didn't have a clue. Once the crew was on stage and we took our final bows, I knew why I'd worked so hard. I will never forget the enchanting sensation of gazing out into an audience as they rise to applaud. Hand in hand, we occupied the stage soaking up every ounce of energy thrown from the patrons. Roaring claps echoed all around as we stood under the bright lights from the catwalk overhead. Only one thing can top that exhilaration, and it happened simultaneously. A look to my left and then to my right exposed my people. The message behind Harvey is the value of friendship and loyalty. I understood that message working with my friends after school each day for a few weeks.

Get ready to laugh, listeners, because our final week of our first ever Spooktober covers the hilarious dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), directed by Frank Capra! The film stars Cary Grant as the leading man, Mortimer Brewster, as he deals with marriage, his family, and maybe even a little death! While Capra was mostly known for his more dramatic films, his directorial genius still shines in this film as well, and it may have been a much deserved break from the norm for him. This film also has an adapted screenplay from its historic long run on Broadway, and with that also comes some serious Broadway drama. Sit with us as we ask the question....is this movie a must watch? Content warning: marriage, murder, law enforcement, light ableism, xenophobia If you would like updates for SWL or our other podcasts, please follow us on Twitter, @PodcastSnowden, as well as our personal accounts.
Cary Grant knew Frank Capra was busy casting for his new film, an adaptation of the Broadway hit Arsenic and Old Lace, and he knew that Ronald Reagan and Jack Benny had both turned the lead role down, so he told Capra he was interested and available. Capra was thrilled, and they set to work.

Today's episode is all about movies...old movies...old movies such as classic westerns that could be described as magnificent to screwball comedies full of murderous aunts and a man who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt and everything in between, whatever the hell that might be that could be between such incredibly different movies. But before all that, Marc talks about the Nintendo Switch for the last time, that is, for the last time while not owning one. Anyway, that's (pretty much) it and that's all. Cheers and enjoy the show.
