After looking at 2000 in Part 1, Tim shoots us back to 1941 for Part 2. We begin with Sullivan's Travels, a satire of trying to make it in Hollywood and trying to be socially relevant. It's a movie, to some degree, about breaking type, as are The Devil and Daniel Webster and The Little Foxes. Tim takes us through matters of pie stealing, Bette Davis, murderous intent, and old Mr. Scratch in our journey to determine which movie most reflects the momentous year that was 1941.

This week, Ryan and Mike jump back 80 years to talk about a movie made in a world and for audiences that surprisingly similar to our own. Preston Sturges' "Sullivan's Travels" (1941) isn't talked about much these days, despite it's titanic influence on filmmakers like the Coen brothers, and you might find its message is one you need to hear right now.

On today’s episode, I talked with Aubrey Rieder who chose 1941’s Sullivan’s Travels, the comedic romp that isn’t just a comedy. Written and directed by wildly ahead of his time, playwright Preston Sturges, and starring Joel McCrea and the gorgeously tough Veronica Lake Sullivan’s Travels follows the story of John L. Sullivan a multimillionaire director of comedy films like Ants in your Plants of 1941, and Hey Hey In the Hayloft who plans to make O Brother Where Art Thou? an epic that follows the social miseries of the day. When confronted about not having the life- experience of those miseries by his producers, Sullivan has a great idea that if he goes full method by dressing up and living amongst the downtrodden and the poor he’ll truly understand the subject of his film. That is until he arrives back in LA only hours later and discovers a down on her luck but practical actress and that’s where our rollicking adventure begins. So sit back relax, and don’t forget the doughnuts You can purchase Sullivan's Travels here (P.S.

Ben and Nick talk about Sullivan's Travels in this Classic Episode from 2014

The most significant film of Preston Sturges' legacy makes a case for itself in asserting the importance of comedy as an artform like no other work has. The concluding thoughts on entertainment being all some people have is a profound statement for one of the zaniest comedies of the 1940s. The tonal dichotomy of Sullivan's Travels may be hard to swallow at first, but the deftness with which Sturges balances the dramatic turns of the story is vital to selling the pathos of its themes and ideas concerning how entertainers can help the poor and downtrodden through their art. It's also just one of the funniest films ever made, brimming with Sturges' spoonfuls of tantalizingly salacious dialogue, expedient and expert delivery, and a good helping of physical gags to boot. One of the essential "movies about movies", Sullivan's Travels endures because of its optimistic look at the good of Hollywood without shying away from the racier aspects tucked between the biting dialogue provided by Sturges' unparalleled hands as Hollywood's preeminent Writer/Director.

When I make a list of my top 5 episodes that we have produced, this one is definitely in it. We get to speak to Disney Legend Bill "Sully" Sullivan. Sully was a fixture at Disneyland as an original 1955 Skipper, and transitioned to a position working closely to Walt on projects like the Squaw Valley Olympic Games and the 1964 Worlds Fair. He then became the first operating Manager of both Magic Kingdom and Epcot. He's an amazing person, and it all started with his time in the Jungle..

Director Danny Boyle (Steve Jobs, Slumdog Millionaire) has said his inspiration for Millions, the only PG rated film in the filmmaker's oeuvre, was to take a complete left turn from his previous film, the violent infection thriller 28 Days Later, and challenge himself to paint with a different tonal brush.  Essentially a fantasy for children with real adult themes at the center, Millions stars the impressive kid actors Alex Etel and Lewis Owen McGibbon as brothers Damien and Anthony and James Nesbitt and Daisy Donovan as the adults in their lives. Besides the heart tugging feature, Dan and Vicky catch us up on their recent viewing.  For Vicky that included a trip to NY's finest museums, the films Ladybird, Landline, The Shape of Water, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, and TV shows The Alienist, Black Lightning, and Mosaic.  Dan has thoughts on Phantom Thread, The Commuter, 1942's Sullivan's Travels, 47 Meters Down, and his favorite recent find,  1971's The Night Visitor. And hear about the strange reason one of Dan's shows was canceled and how Vicky spent her birthday! Our money's on your enjoyment of Hot Date 64: Millions!

Toss the kids in the back and chart a winding course to a kitschy destination — we're at the wheel of three American road trip comedies this week. Pit stops include a deep psychological analysis of Clark Griswold, a theory on how you market indie pop and questions about whether Netflix is making the new cable movie. Chance begins the episode in conversation with writer Saul Austerlitz. They discuss his book, "Another Fine Mess" (a history of American comedy film), as well as the 1941 road trip classic "Sullivan's Travels." At 15 minutes, Noah and Chance transition to "National Lampoon's Vacation." At 26:30, they give "Little Miss Sunshine" a push. And at 37:45, why does nothing bad happen in the Netflix original "The Fundamentals of Caring"?

Philosophers can be funny and funny movies can be philosophical. David and Tamler welcome frequent VBW guest and arch-enemy of empathy Paul Bloom to discuss their five favorite comic films with philosophical/psychological themes.

David and Tamler talk about the perils of trying to step outside of your own perspective in ethics, science, and politics. What do Rawls' "original position" thought experiment, Pascal's Wager, and Moral Foundations Theory have in common? (Hint: it involves baking.) Plus, what movies (and other things) would serve as a litmus test when deciding on a potential life partner? What might liking or not liking a certain film, book, or TV series tell you about a person, and whether or not the relationship would work? And what sexual position is it rational to choose under the veil of ignorance? (It's a night episode...)LinksPart 1: Litmus TestsThe Bad News Bears (1976) [imdb.com]A Confederacy of Dunces [wikipedia.org]Drive [imdb.com]Every Frame A Painting--Drive: The Quadrant System [youtube.com]Ferris Bueller's Day Off [imdb.com]The Far Side [wikipedia.org]Frank [imdb.com]Hustle and Flow [imdb.com]Jackie Brown [imdb.com]Key and Peele [imdb.com]Miracle of Morgan's Creek [imdb.com]The Office (UK) [imdb.com]Pulp Fiction [imdb.com]Spaghetti Western [wikipedia.org]ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement/Dubbing) [wikipedia.org]Sullivan's Travels [imdb.com]Spellbound [imdb.com]Slapshot [imdb.com]What We Do in the Shadows [imdb.com]Part 2: Williams, B.

John L. Sullivan learns an important lesson about not being a jackass, is just a different sort of jackass.

On this episode, we look at TOP FIVE, the recent film from Chris Rock about a comedian who wants to be taken seriously as an artist, which not only inspired the pairing of SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS and STARDUST MEMORIES, but also our own Top Five Film lists of 2014. And after you hear them you may no longer take us seriously (if you ever did).
