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 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.

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!

This week Zach welcomes back filmmaker and podcaster Henry Jarvis (Reel Nerds Podcast) and he brings along The Arkansas Traveler as the boys dive into Elia Kazan's prescient and audacious 1957 , 'A Face in the Crowd'. Tune in to engage in the spiraling madness as the boys learn more about the complicated histories of Kazan and screenwriter Budd Schulberg, how the films unsettling narrative draws a direct line to modern culture, how the films incredibly dark visuals and thematic power shine through uniquely in the 1950's, and give spotlight to the incredible performer that is Mr. Andy Griffith. But with all this drab, there has to be something light to offset it. Thankfully the boys find plenty of it as they witness Walter Matthau pitching his future movies, hear Barney Fife become terrified of Andy's Method Acting , and we all gaze in awe Henry unleashes the ultimate analysis of the Transformers films. Plus: Paddington for President !
