Tis the season. Spooky season of course. Wow, is this movie rather shocking. I don't think we were prepared for what this 1943 flick had in store. Flawed? Heck yeah. But worth for few minutes to watch? Tune in and find out.

Once again, TCM is the greatest channel on television. The balls to play this flick in the politics themed evening, and after the recent news... Good for them.

There are three main characters here... Cary Grant, Grace Kelly and the South of France. Each more beautiful than the last.

How can a 93 year old movie feel so modern?

A restrained Terry Gilliam, an unleashed Robin Williams, a magnetic Mercedes Ruehl, and a stunning Michael Jeter. What more could you want?

Good movie, but boy oh boy it is hard to talk about. There is no plot to speak of and just tons of fun individual things to cover... and the elephant in the room... A fun messy episode.

It is so cool to watch a movie you know is good and not have a single spoiler with it. Always a good experience. Also, we're experimenting with awful AI thumb nails. Nailed it.

Every so slightly late on this release but we're still here and kicking. This was another example of a solid moving being remade. It is a really cool compare and contrast exercise.

Monologue after monologue in this one. And that is by no means a complaint. Each one tops the last. This is one of the funnier (and scarier) films we covered on this show. No way we do it justice.

Are we sure this wasn't a Canadian made for TV movie?

Is this spooky enough for the season? I don't know. Blame one of the Matts.

We sure are hitting a lot of classics recently.

Best. Movie. Ever.

We celebrate Pride Month with a rather progressive film for 1935. Ahead of its time? Yes! Actually a good movie? Well... tune in to find out.

This is certainly a heavy one! So much going on, but at the same time, not so much. I think we understand good chunks, but at the same time, not so much. Tough Russian science fiction does make for some fun chats. Sorry again for the audio being less than perfect.

Stone cold classic. Need we say more?

It's Morbin time! *oopsie with the audio this week. It'll be fixed in the next release*

It just doesn't feel like they make movies like this anymore. It is a chill fest movie made for adults. I have to be honest, it felt really weird reviewing a movie with so many boobies.

We can't be more excited to review our first Nick Charles.... err, no... correction... Philo Vance film. The Kennel Murder Case. We rather adore murder mysteries and this is one of the primordial offerings. There is so much to enjoy here, but falls just sort because right around the corner was the smash Thin Man films. The comparisons make for a fun discussion.

Buckle up folks, you're in for a LOT of gushing here. This movie is a stone cold classic from an all too overlooked master... John Frankenheimer. There are some real titans involved with this movie including Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March, Ava Gardner, Rod Serling and throw Jerry Goldsmith in there for good measure. We touch on all that and more.  This flick is tight and every bite as relevant now as it was in 1964.  [email protected]

This is another one of those episodes were we selected an iconic movie, but try to assess if it really deserves that status. Did it stand the test of time? I'm certainly willing to say it is one of the cooler and/or sexier movies we've taken on so far. Let us know what you think.  As a bonus, we try to address who is the hidden patron saint(s) of the TCM Challenge.  [email protected]
