"Nothing is Written!" Action for Everyone host and unofficial You're Missing Out War (Movie) Correspondent VyceVictus returns to the show to talk about David Lean's Oscar-winning WWI epic, Lawrence of Arabia. We talk Peter O'Toole, Middle East quagmires, and whether anything truly is written.

"THEY FOUGHT for the right to rule SHE FOUGHT for the right to love" Author Philip Womack joins the show to discuss why David O. Selznick's celebrated 1937 adaptation of Anthony Hope's celebrated 1894 should still be celebrated to this day. We talk Ruritanian romances, swashbuckling swordfights, Douglas Fairbanks Jr, and teaching dogs Latin.

"Gertie: she's a scream. She eats, drinks and breathes! She laughs and cries. Dances the tango, answers questions and obeys every command! Yet, she lived millions of years before man inhabited this earth and has never been seen since!!" Author and animation expert Donald Crafton joins us to discuss one of the most siginifcant pieces of animation ever made, Gertie the Dinosaur (or technically just "Gertie". We get into it). We talk Winsor McCay, the evolution of the animated drawing, and the...

"He's as accustomed to the whip as I am to poverty." You might know Sholem Aleichem's celebrated comedic hero of Yiddish literature, Tevye (or Tevya) from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. But decades earlier, titan of the Yiddish theatre scene Maurice Schwartz got a camera and a cast together and brought Aleichem's stories to the silver screen for the first time with Tevye. We teamed up with Daniel Zana & Harry Ottensoser from Jews on Film to discuss the significance of this, the first...

"The Man Who Made A Monster!" Folks, it's a Patrick Cotnoir episode. If you're a regular listener, you know what you're in for. But everyone else? Strap in, because first, we're talking 1931's Frankenstein, one of the foundational films of horror cinema. We'll chat James Whale, Boris Karloff, Universal Monsters, and of course, Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing. And then... "Let The Hunt Begin" That's right, we're talking 2002's Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. We'll chat Jango Fett, wonky controls, and...

"It's nice to be individualistic, but there are certain places to be individualistic." "I didn't mean to be individualistic." What better way to examine Frederick Wiseman's sophomore documentary than with a self-described "survivor of the late 60s educational system"? Mike's high school English teacher, Celia Blumm, stops by to talk about what Wiseman captured, what remains eerily true to this day, and what the hell was up with that guy giving "the talk"?

"Tomorrow the birds will sing." Actor Jae Kim returns to the show to talk Charlie Chaplin's rebuke of the talkie, the romantic comedy City Lights. We'll talk great gags, moving scenes, and how many filmmakers have lifted so much from this classic Chaplin masterwork.

Way, way back in 2018, our hosts Mike Natale and Tom Lorenzo had a different podcast (with the same name, because names are hard, y'all). On that show, they devoted a whole episode to the history of the mighty cinematic ape known as King Kong, who had recently leaped from the silver screen to the Great White Way. As a supplement to our recent episode on 1933's King Kong with Graham Skipper, we've dug out this vintage podcast episode where the Mike and Tom of the past discuss every major Kong...

"They said it couldn't be filmed – but it was! See it and ask – what if such a thing could happen?" Horror expert and "literally wrote the book on big monsters" author Graham Skipper swings by the pod to talk everyone's big ape buddy King Kong. We'll talk the birth of the blockbuster, palpable personality in a stop-motion creature, and why the Kong iconography remains so powerful 90 years later.

"The Ultimate Trip" Filmmaker Ian Faria joins us on the show to talk about Stanley Kubrick's complex and and entrancing science fiction classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. We talk award-winning special effects, critic-confounding stories, and of course, that Pauline Kael review.

"The lives lost were precious lives- to their county, to their loved ones, and to the men themselves." In 1945, military officials were astounded by the battle footage captured by John Huston in his pointedly anti-war documentary short The Battle of San Pietro. Decades later, it was revealed that the real battle had occurred before the cameras even arrived. Documentary editor Glenn Garthwaite joins us to untangle the complicated legacy of Houston's WWII film, and the rich history of those...

"A MAN - Trying to run away from his past... A WOMAN - Trying to escape her future!" Michael H. Weber was simply trying to lay low, enjoying his life as a successful screenwriter, when a figure from his past reappears to remind him of a foolish deal he made: agreeing to appear on a show about the National Film Registry about a year ago. Now he must return to the world of danger, corruption, double crosses, and duplicitous dames known as podcasting, to discuss Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas,...

"It took two years to make; it gives you two hours of engrossing entertainment. You may hate it, as you hate the dangerous undercurrents of life, but you will be fascinated, thrilled, held spell-bound." Heads up! This is a very different kind of episode of You're Missing Out. Instead of sitting down with a guest and bouncing all around the plot of the film like we often do, this time, Mike, Tom, and Kyle sat down on mic to record a full-length (well, full-length for the shortest of the full...

"A gentleman thief and a lady pickpocket join forces to con a beautiful perfume company owner!" The twisting turns of a con-artist drama meet the ping-pong dialogue of a romantic comedy, all with that classic Ernst Lubitsch touch. Actor David Bluvband joins us to talk about 1932's Trouble in Paradise. We discuss bawdy humor, the Hays code, and of course, which Super Mario Bros. character would play which role in the film.

"The Roaring West At Its Reckless Best!" Editor AJ McKeon (Blank Check with Griffin and David) strolls into our little town of You're Missing Out to settle a score: what's the best Wyatt Earp movie? We're mostly talking 1946's My Darling Clementine, but when you put three millennials on podcast about cowboys, you know you're gonna get some Tombstone (1993) talk too!

"The New Screen Musical in Gorgeous Color by the Composer of "My Fair Lady" The musical team of Hass & Swanton (Kyle Reid Hass and Jeremy Swanton) join the show once again, this time clad in robes and sipping champagne. What better way to celebrate the lavish film that is Gigi (1958)! We break down what made the film such a phenomenon in its day, what it still has to offer 65 years later, and if a former hater is finally ready to say "Thank heaven" for Gigi.

"Twenty-four times a second-truth. This is truth. It's gotta be true." Producer Ben Hosley (Blank Check with Griffin & David) returns to the show. Last time, he talked about a rebel without a cause. This time, he's talking about...a filmmaker without a plot? A hipster without a hint of self-awareness? Just what is David Holzman's Diary? We'll unpack this underseen but hugely influential indie film which captures the vibe of 1960s New York like no other.

"Love that paid the severest of all penalties!" Podcaster Carrie McCabe (Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie) joins the show to talk about all things crime, both true and fiction, in A Place In the Sun.

Or BE KILLED" Podcaster and musician Micah McCaw joins Mike and Tom to discuss an underappreciated Alfred Hitchcock thriller that managed to beat out many of the marquee titles in his filmography to get into the National Film Registry. We talk Joseph Cotten, Teresa Wright, and...the Blondie movies?

"You get tough. You get tender. You get close to each other. Maybe you even get close to the truth." As is tradition, Phil Iscove (Podcast Like It's...) returns to You're Missing Out to kick off our new season. We're talking Nicholson, Dunaway, Huston, (very cautiously) Polanski, and all things Chinatown!

Ahead of Season 3's debut next month, Mike, Tom and Kyle take a look at the 95th Academy Awards.

Our friends over at Podcast Like It's 1999 had Mike & Tom on this week to talk about Rosetta, which won the 1999 Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

So, as a thanks to the team at Podcast Like It's 1999, we're throwing up this bit of supplemental material to pair with their Rosetta episode, Mike and Tom's Top Ten Palme D'Or winners.
