EPISODE 116 - “CLASSIC STAR OF THE MONTH: DICK VAN DYKE” - 12/01/25 Join us as we celebrate the life and career of someone who seemingly personifies joy — on-screen and off. And maybe that's the secret to his longevity, because he is about to celebrate his 100th birthday on December 13. Of course, we're talking about the one and only, DICK VAN DYKE, our December Star of the Month. His career spans The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and beyond. He's danced across rooftops, flipped over ottomans, and shared his personal struggles with alcoholism in order to shine a light on a horrible disease -- at a time when that sort of thing wasn't discussed. From his early years trying to make it in show business, to that breakout moment on Broadway, to becoming one of the most beloved stars on television and film - today, we celebrate the legendary Dick Van Dyke!

EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium. There have been some great ones — OLIVIA COLEMAN's funny and cheeky speech hit the right tone and who can forget JACK PALANCE's one-arm push-ups or CUBA GOODING's exuberance? There have also been some bad ones — don't we all still cringe a little at SALLY FIELDS' “You like me” speech? As we prepare to celebrate the 97th annual Academy Award ceremony, Steve and Nan look back on some of their favorite Oscar speeches and why they resonate. So put on your tux, don the gown and jewels, pop the champagne, and join us for a fun talk about … well, people talking.

Worse than a coven of witches? The 'Burbs. "Suspiria" star Jessica Harper has appeared in over 20 films since the mid-'70s, but she's also had a career as a singer-songwriter and children's book author. Her latest venture has her turning to memoir in the form of a 10-part podcast called "Winnetka," named for the Chicago suburb where she and her five siblings came of age in the '50s and '60s. Harper's podcast tells the story of that suburban upbringing, in particular the darkness and secretiveness that existed below the picture-perfect appearances. Harper discusses "Winnetka," and joins Adam and Josh for the Top 5 Movies About Suburbia.

We are back on the Cassavetes train! (But did we ever really get off it in the first place? Hmmm?) On this episode of Oeuvre Busters, and after taking a look at his two studio films, George and Liam discuss Cassavetes's Faces, from the turbulent year 1968. The film stars the magnetic Gena Rowlands, the senescent John Marley, the incandescent Lynn Carlin, and the Herculean Seymour Cassel. Things to consider: first and foremost, who knew that this film was a secret Mad Men prequel? My god, does Liam love Honey I Shrunk the Kids! Can George STFU about Johnny Staccato? Also, did Vin Diesel rip off Seymour Cassel? And welcome our new podcast hosts, Bird and Drill! Topics not covered in this podcast: Thomas Hobbes's critique of Robert Boyle's air pump experiments of 1659, and how these experiments gave rise to new and modern epistemological forms that we today recognise as "science."
