Each season has its quota of film noir. So here we go. “A former boxer turned taxi driver earns the scorn of his nagging wife and gets mixed up with jewel thieves.” It’s a B picture with fun performances, one of my favorite things. Meet John Payne, Evelyn Keyes and Brad Dexter, a non-superstar lineup that nonetheless pops off the screen. Shelly Brisbin with Philip Michaels, Randy Dotinga and Nathan Alderman.

Apple's 2025 “Awe-Dropping” event brought new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro 3, but were they truly awe-dropping? We unpack the new iPhone Air, Series 11 Apple Watch with blood pressure sensing, and AirPods with hearing features.Steven Scott, Shaun Preece, and guest Shelly Brisbin dive into Apple's latest event, questioning the hype versus reality. The discussion explores the iPhone Air—Apple's thinnest ever iPhone with the A19 Pro chip, lighter weight for easier handling, and how it compares to the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro. They debate who the Air is for, whether LIDAR is essential for blind users, and why Apple may be preparing for a folding phone. The team also unpacks the Apple Watch Series 11 and its new hypertension and sleep tracking features, contrasting it with the value-focused SE 3 and the rugged Ultra 3. Finally, they explore the AirPods Pro 3, offering better noise cancellation, longer battery life, heart rate sensing, and real-time translation—plus why the new workout buddy AI could motivate casual fitness without overcomplicating health tracking.Call to ActionLike what you hear?

The Summer of Submarines resurfaces with James Garner going on a secret mission to an enemy island in 1959’s “Up Periscope.” The Skipper is not a skipper, but he’s got some interesting romantic ideas. Some scenes are impressively bad from multiple angles. And we realize that we’re starting to get good at this submarine-movie business, maybe? Jason Snell with Philip Michaels, Shelly Brisbin, David J. Loehr and Erika Ensign.

ere is one of the greatest ensembles of the classic era - or any era, for that matter. Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Lucile Ball, Ann Miller, Eve Arden (and cat), Gail Patrick, Andrea Leads. Constance Collier, all sharing a theatrical boarding house in New York, and struggling to become big stars. Kate says something about calla lilies, and also snipes with Ginger. It’s so much fun!, Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, David J. Loehr, Nathan Alderman and Randy Dotinga.

If you can quote from “Casablanca” or “Gone with the Wind,” you can probably quote from “Now Voyager.” Or you could, with a little reminder. “Don’t let’s ask for the moon, when we have the stars.” And the Paul Henreid/Bette Davis cigarette-lighting move is here, too. Tis a stone cold classic of the romantic, weepy canon. Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, Randy Dotinga and Nathan Alderman.

We bring Stanwyck Summer (but not the LTS season) to a close with a draft-ish episode. Each panelist has brought us a Barbara Stanwyck film - one we haven’t talked about before on the show. Somehow, there are a number of cats. Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, Nathan Alderman and Randy Dotinga.
The Summer of Submarines joins forces with Old Movie Club to take on 1958’s “Run Silent, Run Deep,” starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. It’s a tense thriller that has inspired sub and sci-fi movies for many decades. Erika’s gleeful reaction to the film’s abrupt ending may surprise you! Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Philip Michaels, Shelly Brisbin, Dan Moren and Casey Liss.

This time, Stanwyck is an invalid, who’s having trouble with her phone. I would call it a straight-up female victim tale, but Babs is not what you’d call sympathetic as a character. Even so, should her husband (Burt Lancaster) be plotting her death? Shelly Brisbin with David J. Loehr, Micheline Maynard, Nathan Alderman and Randy Dotinga.
