Settle in film school students for the supreme discussion as the guys walk through the Origins of Fritz Lang and his silent film years, learn more of how real life events shaped the story of the film, discover the origins of Peter Lorre, wrestle with the intense themes the film tackles so boldly for the 1930's, face tough questions within the film that carry heavy weight to this day, and marvel at the many ways the film has permeated cinema and pop culture to this very minute! The boys travel many dark roads on this episode, but do manage to find some laughs to offset the lurid. Revel in the fun as they try an answer an unsolved event in Lang's life, find out the best way to sell books in a book store, and attempt to help Peter Lorre with his identity crisis.

Ep. 56: ‘Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)’ or ‘Chaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggeeee’

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!
