Grab a theremin and watch out for bats as the guys learn the unusual origins of the film, get taken a back by many Wild(er) stories from behind the scenes, marvel at the highlights of the many moments that form Don's journey, swoon over the cinematography, and reveal the ways the film has broken ground for films surrounding addiction to this day.

Zach is joined by actress and stand-up comic Abella Bala (Deadly Illusions, Antlers) to take a journey through the streets of New York City through the eyes of Holly Golightly with a chat about Blake Edward's perennial 1961 hit, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Grab your croissants and stolen Halloween masks and settle in as the two learn about the astounding life of Audrey Hepburn, become puzzled at why many thought Audrey would not work as Golightly, dig deep into how Golightly and Peter provide templates for interesting and complex romantic characters down the line, and have an honest reckoning with one Mickey Rooney and the pain of watching his performance. An intricate and unique version of the Ballyhoo awaits you, including learning more about Abella and what led her to acting in ways that have their own lessons to teach for the future. ----- Link for Featurette "Mr. Yunioshi: An Asian Perspective": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAafI9w7CY8 This Featurette Can Also Be Accessed On The "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Bluray -------- To keep up with Abella's many endeavors, be sure to follow her on Instagram: @abellabala.tv Visit her website: abellabala.com Check out her work on the Netflix film 'Deadly Illusions': https://www.netflix.com/title/81346196 and be sure to watch her in all 6 episodes of John Strelec's Webseries, 'Antlers': https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaXbVoRBGRlTqHDJZcavncA

Zach welcomes musician and podcaster Nate Runkel (Yo, That's My Jawn) onto the show amid the chaos of a bustling New York City and the quirky revelations one can find about life and love as they dive deep into the 1965 Fred Coe picture, 'A THOUSAND CLOWNS'. After you've admired that naughty light up lamp (shame on you), settle in for a discourse in appreciation as the two uncover more information around the production of this Broadway adaptation, find themselves in awe of the innovation brought on by necessity, fawn over the wonderfully fleshed out world inhabited by Murray and Nick (Or whatever he call's himself that day), and muse at great length over the many ways in which the film has influenced the works we see today (mostly Kevin Smith allusions, but there are more. Trust Us). PLUS: A BALLYHOO FINALE FOR THE AGES ----- Do not delay, hop over to the world of 'YO, That's My Jawn' to listen to Nate interview personalities with passions to share and maybe play a song or two each and every episode.

Zach welcomes back actress and podcaster Erin Mullane (The Required Viewing Podcast- with Erin and Chloe) to be swept up in the madcap comedy and macabre creeps with a deep dive in Frank Capra's 1944 triumph, 'Arsenic and Old Lace'. Pull up a chair and pour yourself some perfectly harmless elderberry wine and revel in the fun as the two learn more about the original Broadway production and why its success hindered the film release date, find themselves in shock as to why Boris Karloff could not be in the film version, gasp at the reasons Capra set upon making the film, holler in horror over the films breakneck speed and pitch perfect timing, roll over in revulsion at the terrifying atmosphere Capra is able to set amid the merriment, charge up the stairs with loud proclamations over the brilliance in each performance, and give into the madness itself by reflecting on how the film has influenced the very works we see to this day. ------- Be sure to listen to 'The Required Viewing Podcast- With Erin and Chloe', now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
