Velkommen til duften af brunkager og klejner i Hollywood! I denne episode anmelder vi vel nok en af de aller største juleklassikere på det amerikanske kontinent i form af Frank Capras It's a Wonderful Life fra 1946 med James Stewart i rollen som George Bailey, der sidder fast i sit liv i forstads-USA og er godt gammeldags bitter over, at hans liv rykker sig to skridt tilbage, når det lige har rykket sig et frem. Men hvad han ikke forstår er, at hans liv faktisk ER herligt, hvilket Donna Reed, som hans tålmodige kone Mary Hatch, hans familie og englen Clarence spillet af Henry Travers, skal hjælpe ham med at huske på over 2 timer og 10 minutters Hollywood julefilm-knas. Som en modvægt til al den kvælende julestemning, anmelder vi også en håndfuld fantastiske anti-julefilm.

Happy New Year! Shoot off the fireworks, toot the noisemakers, and make yourself a nice plate of black-eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread. Do you have any resolutions this year? A word or mantra for the year? No? Well, you're in luck. We're here to help with that by way of four movie recommendations. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)First up is the 1986 John Hughes comedy classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The real righteous dudes in the audience will know why this film has a great movie mantra, but if you don't, you're in luck! We'll tell you all about it in today's show. Galaxy Quest (1999)Next is the 1999 love letter to Star Trek, Galaxy Quest. This comedy is a wonderful send-up of classic Star Trek, but is also a fascinating meta-commentary on stardom, fandom, and geek culture. By Grabthar's Hammer, you best pick this one up for another fantastic movie mantra.It's a Wonderful Life (1946)Frank Capra's 1946 film, It's a Wonderful Life, is a timeless Christmas classic, but it's got one of the best movie mantras in history. Starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Henry Travers, and Lionel Barrymore, this drama still rings true today and is worth watching as we start the new year. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)We close our movie mantras this week with another comedy, 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. While yes, the tagline reads, “History's about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell,” this is a comedy that still writes a wonderful movie mantra. Filled with cameos from comedians, rock stars, and more, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is a delightful sci-fi comedy. Strange things will be afoot at the Video Store if you don't pick this one up. From all of us here at the Video Store Podcast, we hope your new year is a great one. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

In “It's A Wonderful Life,” BEULAH BONDI played the most loving mother to JAMES STEWART. Ma Bailey is the epitome of sweetness, kindness, and supportiveness so it's quite shocking when we meet the Ma Bailey who would have existed had George Bailey not been born. She's cold, bitter, and unkind. It gives Bondi the wonderful opportunity to play two versions of the same character, which she does flawlessly. So to celebrate Mother's Day, Nan and Steve are taking a page from Bondi's playbook as they discuss the good and bad mothers of classic cinema.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Moms in the Movies (2014), by Richard Corliss; Actresses of a Certain Character (2007), by Axel Nissen; Irene Dunne: First Lady of Hollywood (2006), by Wes D.

EPISODE 30 - “Robert Walker: Old Hollywood's Tragic Boy Next Door” - 04/08/2024 No one played sensitive, lost souls quite like ROBERT WALKER. However, he is best known for playing one of the most complicated, psychopaths in film history, Bruno Antony in ALFRED HITCHCOCK's masterpiece “Strangers On A Train” (1951). His journey from playing sensitive innocents to playing Bruno is reflective of his troubled, turbulent life, and the heartbreak from which he never recovered. This week, we'll discuss the artistry and the tragedy of this incredible actor.

EPISODE 23 - “I Coulda Been a Contender: Classic Casting That Almost Happened” - 02/19/2024 It is well documented that the film “Gone With The Wind” started filming before an actress was cast in the lead role of Scarlett O'Hara. Producer DAVID O. SELZNICK made a spectacle out of who would win the coveted role. It became a national obsession. He considered everyone from TALLULAH BANKHEAD to BETTE DAVIS to LUCILLE BALL. He eventually narrowed the field to three finalists: PAULETTE GODDARD, JOAN BENNETT, and JEAN ARTHUR. But in the eleventh hour, a new contender, an unknown Brit named VIVIEN LEIGH, swept in and won the role. Listen as we discuss, debate, and guffaw over other casting choices that almost happened in some of your favorite film classics.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Hollywood's First Choices: How The Greatest Casting Decisions Were Made (1994), by Jeff Burkhart and Bruce Stuart; Casting Might Have Beens (2005), by Eila Mell; Jean Arthur: The Actress Nobody Knew (2004), by John Oller; George Raft: The Man Who Would Be Bogart (2015), by Stone Wallace; Life is a Banquet (1974), by Rosalind Russell; Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star (2009), by Peter Cowie; Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film (2021), by Alan Rode; Judy Holliday (1982), by Will Holtzman; Close-up on Sunset Boulevard: Billy Wilder, Norma Desmond, and the Dark Hollywood Dream (2002), by Sam Staggs Montgomery Clift: Beautiful Loser (1992), by Barney Hoskyns; Mike Nichols: A Life (2021), by Mark Harris; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Scarface (1932), starring George Raft, Paul Muni, Ann Dvorak, and Boris Karloff; Dead End (1937), starring Silvia Sidney, Joel McCrea, Humphrey Bogart, Wendy Barrie, and Claire Trevor; The Maltese Falcon (1941), starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Elisha Cook, Jr, and Lee Patrick  The Maltese Falcon (1931), starring Ricardo Cortez and Bebe Daniels; High Sierra (1941), starring Humphrey Bogart, Ida Lupino, Joan Leslie, Alan Curtis, Cornel Wilde, Arthur Kennedy, Willie Best, Elisabeth Risdon, and Henry Travers; His Girl Friday (1940), starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy; Twentieth Century (1934), starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard; Mildred Pierce (1945), starring Joan Crawford, Ann Blyth, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Bruce Bennett, and Lee Patrick;  Sunset Boulevard (1950), starring Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Erich von Stroheim, and Nancy Olson;    From Here To Eternity (1953); starring Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Donna Reed, and Ernest Borgnine; Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (1966), starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal, and Sandy Dennis; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katharine Ross;#023: "I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDER!" --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's that one and only day. Seems like people are mad as hell leading up to this day and can't drive for shit but once the day gets here then it all feels all right. We culminate in our theme of THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR with this ultimate Christmas Classic. Some might say that having this movie as your favorite Christmas movie is perhaps typical. Cliche. But it's much more typical to proclaim it as typical because this is one of the most anti-cynical movies ever made. It wasn't even a hit in its time. Not until around the 70s did it truly become iconic holiday fare. It's a heavy hitter that stands the test of time for a reason. Of course, we're talking about Frank Capra's 1946 classic “It's A Wonderful Life” starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore & Henry Travers. Bob & Angela actually saw it in the theater as is the annual tradition of the Belcourt to show it during this time every year. There's not much more you can say about it (we still say a lot) but maybe we can inspire you to relive it if it's been a minute. Y'know we get choked up. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

On the tenth episode of All the Film Things I am joined by my good friends, Cole Echevarria and Joshua Smith, to celebrate the holiday season by talking about Frank Capra's 1946 Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life. This episode is spoiler- filled. Not only is this episode on a Christmas- focused film, this episode has a very Christmas-y feel. The holiday season is a time where friends and family come together. In enjoying each other's company, family and friends share meaningful moments, deep conversations, and maybe a dispute or two. This episode has all of that. The three of us analyze the film while discussing the deep themes... with some minor arguments throughout. It's a Wonderful Life is a fantasy, comedy film in which James Stewart plays the main character, George Bailey, a man with aspirations of seeing the world outside his hometown building skyscrapers and becoming wealthy. His big dreams are continuously put aside to allow him to help others which often, by extension, positively impacts the entire community of his hometown, Bedford Falls. His impact on so many people isn't realized until towards the end of the film, thanks to his guardian angel. It's a Wonderful Life was surprisingly not a success at the time of its release but has over time it has become regarded as one of the most widely celebrated Christmas films of all time. The film also stars Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Travers, and Gloria Grahame. Cole is back for his third appearance on this wide release of All the Film Things, making this his 14th appearance in total. This is Joshua's fifth time on ATFT. Joshua was the one to suggest we talk about this film, since it's his favorite. I then asked Cole which he preferred of the two options (this film or Home Alone) and he agreed with Joshua. This was my first time watching It's a Wonderful Life in its entirety. Joshua has been watching this film since he was a kid while Cole had only seen it twice. They both regard It's a Wonderful Life as their favorite Christmas film. This episode was recorded on December 8, 2023. In this episode, between the banter, we go through the film beginning to end discussing the admirable qualities of George Bailey, trying to better understand certain moments, and much more! Cole shares his personal connections to the film and why the film resonates with him deeply. I made a film comparison that is teased by both Cole and Joshua throughout this episode.

Instead of the moon, Diana lassos long time friend Kevin Lester to talk about It's a Wonderful Life (1946). Kevin shares that he appreciated how the movie didn't shy away from the darker elements and the struggle of a character always trying to do right by others. With many re-watches, he finds more to enjoy each time. Diana finally crosses this movie off her to-watch list, but may have to watch again since she saw the colorized version.

While not his first American film, Shadow of a Doubt is arguably Hitchcock’s first “American” film--his first look at the darkness that lies just beneath the surface of an All-American city. And he begins populating his background with some of his wonderful eccentrics, in this case being Hume Cronyn and Henry Travers and their endless discussions about how to perfectly murder each other. And “Our Town”? Thornton Wilder both contributed to the screenplay as well as getting a special acknowledgment for his assistance.

Screen Director's Playhouse, It's a Wonderful Life, originally broadcast May 8, 1949, 68 years ago. Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey in the radio adaptation of the 1947 movie. Bailey, a man who has given up his dreams in order to help others and whose imminent suicide on Christmas Eve brings about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Arthur Q Bryan takes the Henry Travers role). Clarence shows George all the lives he has touched and how different life in his community of Bedford Falls would be had he never been born. Cutting a 130 minute movie down to 25 minutes is hard. Let's see how they do it.

Winner of 6 Oscar Awards, this William Wyler and MGM production perfectly captures the wartime era of London and surrounding suburbs during the start of the German air raids. Greer Garson, Walter Pigeon, Teresa Wright, Dame May Whitty, Henry Travers and Richard Ney all give outstanding performances. Henry Wilcoxon gives a speech for the ages, which he also helped write. There’s just so much to cover, so many good scenes, great acting, great script writing, set design, cinematography and on and on. Bob and I can’t and don’t stop praising this film. We hope you agree that Mrs. Miniver is a perfect 10 out of 10. Enjoy!

Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten) visits his relatives in Santa Rosa. He is a very charming man, but his niece slowly realizes that he is wanted for murder and he soon recognizes her suspicions.
