You're Missing Out: A National Film Registry Podcast

Mike, Tom, and Kyle close out Season 5 by reflecting on the 1993 class of National Film Registry inductees, handing out superlatives to the standout performances and craftspeople from the season, and formally submitting their Registry picks. Plus, a look ahead to Season 6.  Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". In each episode, Mike Natale (Yahoo!) and Tom Lorenzo (Men's Journal) bring on a special guest to take a look at one of the films from the registry, to get to the heart of why these films matter. 🎬 Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@YMOPodcast/videos 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youre-missing-out-a-national-film-registry-podcast/id1259425519  #NationalFilmRegistry #Season5WrapUp #ClassicHollywood Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

In the Season 5 finale, Mike, Tom, and Kyle take on Point of Order (1964), Emile de Antonio's radical documentary assembled entirely from kinescope footage of the Army-McCarthy hearings. No narration. No talking heads. Just the hearings themselves and McCarthy slowly unraveling on camera. We dig into what makes this a film and not just a historical record, why de Antonio's editing choices still feel dangerous, and what the Library of Congress recognized when they added it to the National Film Registry.  Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".

Sweet Smell of Success (1957) is one of the most visually ruthless films Hollywood ever made — and one that doesn't show up in the conversation as often as it should. We dig into James Wong Howe's New York City cinematography, the Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis dynamic, and what the Library of Congress saw in it when they added it to the National Film Registry.   Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".
