S1E4 - Justice for the Old Hag with Georges Melies shorts and The Red Shoes (1948)

OMFYS goes back to the beginning of cinema itself for The Infernal Cauldron (1903) and The Old Hag AKA The Witch (1906), a pair of trippy AF shorts directed by Georges Méliès, the French magician who invented special effects and directed the first sci-fi film. We follow this up with a deep discussion of the equally hallucinatory technicolor madness of The Red Shoes from the esteemed filmmaking duo of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in 1948. We've also got our very first guest host joining us with actor and actual young stoner Philena Franklin. Bob blathers on about history and junk while Greg, Cory and Philena recommend the green bud. All three films this ep are streaming on HBOMax while Red Shoes can also be found on Prime and Criterion Channel. The cannabis is at your local dispensary in participating states. I hear that some of those dispensaries deliver around here too, so you can just watch classic films and get baked.
