511 - That Was Then: Gunga Din (feat. Michael Holland)

You're a better podcaster than us, Michael Holland. That's right, the City of Angels' very own boy wonder is back to take Paul and Arlo to film school. The That Was Then classic gracing our screens this time is George Stevens' 1939 adventure film Gunga Din, starring Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The gang discusses the film's connection to William Goldman, the subject of the first season of Michael's podcast From Out of the Past; why it represents a milestone in action-adventure cinema; its surprising, or refreshing, lack of plot; and why Paul and Arlo had such a hard time watching this 85-year-old film for the very first time.   NEXT: much like Schwarzenegger, we'll be back.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:42  -  Intro / Guest 00:10:23  -  Gunga Din 01:16:05  -  Outro / Next   LINKS From Out of the Past Podcast Holland_Imaginarium   MUSIC "The Ballad of Gunga Din" by Jim Croce, Facets (1966) "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" by Bob Dylan and the Band, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II (1971) GOBBLEDYCARES National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Abortion Funds in Every State: https://bit.ly/AbortionFundsTwitter Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ youth: thetrevorproject.org Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  National Center for Transgender Equality: transequality.org Advocate for writers who might be owed money due to discontinuance of royalties: https://www.writersmustbepaid.org/  Help teachers and classrooms in need: https://www.donorschoose.org/ Do your part to remove the burden of medical debt for individuals, families, and veterans: https://ripmedicaldebt.org/ Register to vote: https://vote.gov/
