   9 - Morocco (1930)

   "Morocco", the oldest movie I have talked about up to this point! And what a conflicting movie... couldn't tell if I was in awe or supremely disappointed. I guess a bit of both? Apologies for the more rambly structure of this episode, I suppose I wasn't quite ready to take on the challenge of...

   8 - Lolita (1962)

   "How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?" Scratch that, how did they ever make a movie of Lolita in the early 1960s with an actual 14 year old playing the role of the "nymphet"? Good question. Today I dive into the movie adaption of the 1955 infamous novel by Vladimir Nabokov. With nothing more...

   7 - Sunset Boulevard (1950)

   Sunset Boulevard is a movie that cannot easily be labeled, which is part of what makes it so good. As reality and fiction blur, the audience starts feeling the slight suffocation so present throughout the movie... and find that they are unable to break away from it. Enjoy! Sources:...

   5 - The African Queen (1951)

   Today I talk about the iconic "The African Queen," the movie which won Humphrey Bogart his only Oscar (and with good reason!). With the help of Katherine Hepburn, this movie becomes thrilling, funny, and an all-around unforgettable adventure, and features some of the best acting of the 20th...

   4 - Mr.Deeds Goes To Town (1936)

   Today we look at a movie from the 1930s, "Mr.Deeds Goes To Town" (1936), starring Jean Arthur and Gary Cooper, and directed by none other than Frank Capra. This movie explores the idea of what it means to be human, and how to navigate peculiar times, which is quite relevant to this day and age!...

   2 - His Girl Friday (1940)

   This week's episode I look at the classic screwball comedy "His Girl Friday" (1940). Although it is presented as a comedy, the more one looks into it, the more disturbing it gets. There are issues of racism and sexism that are hard to ignore, and that really should not be ignored. Sources:...
