Reel Classy: Recent Episodes
Christopher Emerson
Every episode I have a special guest on to discuss an old black and white movie. The guest picks the movie, and we watch it ahead of time before recording.
The rules are that the films must be black and white, and released prior to 1970. We have a lot of fun analyzing the films, and discussing what we liked or didn't like about them. We also get off topic very easily and just talk about whatever we want. But that's half the fun.
In this poorly recorded mini episode of Reel Classy, me and my sister discuss some random stuff, some of which might be old black and white movies.
Sahale Jensen returns as promised to discuss Shop Around the Corner. And also lots of other stuff that has nothing to do with that movie.
On this episode I talk with film buff Ben Chase about the 1955 movie The Night of the Hunter. This film is a story of morality, religion and the perversion thereof. Good and evil competing over the lives of two small children during the depression. It is the only film directed by Charles Laughton, and the german expressionist influences give the film a dark and dreamy aesthetic that is hauntingly beautiful. Join ben and I as we discuss what we liked, what we didn't, and how this film holds up today.

Christopher sits down, (in person) with roommate (at the time) and fellow podcaster Scott Davis to flap gums about the 1949 Abbott & Costello comedy Africa Screams.
I like potatoes :)
Chris sits down with Film Friend BJ Pasinger to discuss the awesome 1962 western The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. BJ knows his stuff.
Christopher sits down with film friend Tanya Musgrave (who was actually standing the whole time, because "sitting is the new smoking") to discuss a little known 1942 film known as...Casablanca.
