Zach is joined by podcaster Cheryl Jones (Movies Made Me, It's on My List) to see the end of days for Jack Benny's film career unfold as they try to unpack the light, frothy, apocalyptic romp that is 1945's THE HORN BLOWS AT MIDNIGHT. Put down the Paradise Coffee and stay alert as the two unpack the strange saga of the films production, break into the madness of the plot itself, unveil the complicated legacy the film has as both beloved and despised, and show true affection for the film as they discuss how it and other film like it have impacted the way we watch films today.
