    Military Movies

    Military and war movies have occupied a complex, inescapable place in Hollywood since the medium's inception.  In this essay episode, we reflect on the cinematic history of the war film: from the colossal output of World War II features to the gritty disillusionment of the New Hollywood era and the modern tightrope walk between exploitation and social commentary. Why are we so drawn to stories of extreme conflict, and what do these films tell us about our shared humanity Sources for this episode: https://youtu.be/1wYeNRzZtAA?si=pfJwb_49W4ISDVy2  https://youtu.be/MutI6RZ4dl0?si=4hXiyVCDeZSBY3fP  https://youtu.be/2ynv2YLwoNk?si=y2VTjiHmbo5VNMZZ  https://youtu.be/qqk9AO3lfvU?si=-nDoWTu-7XODTOOG  https://youtu.be/hb7a4ylaJxI?si=H7xHbK3k-LtF9jyC  https://youtu.be/Ybju5hb8nkc?si=9Pg9JQPvSrjYnwNU  Send us Fan Mail Catch new episodes of Least Important Things every Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube.

    The Death of the Teen Dramedy

    Remember when high schoolers looked like thirty-year-olds and every problem could be solved by a grand romantic gesture? In this discussion episode, Luke Ferris, Mike Wynne, and Zach Hall explore the cinematic tragedy of the death of the teen dramedy. They trace the genre's evolution from John Hughes' 1980s touchstones, 1990s satire, 2000s blockbusters, the indie boom, and finally the streaming sarcophagus of the modern era, wrapping it all up with hilarious eulogies for their favorite nostalgic relics.  Send us Fan Mail Catch new episodes of Least Important Things every Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube.

    It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

    Every autumn, millions of us chase that specific brand of nostalgia: the crunch of leaves underfoot, the glowing jack-o'-lanterns, and the thrill of getting free candy while dressed up as a beloved character. Thankfully, you can find this in one 1966 animated TV special. In this essay episode, Luke Ferris takes a deep dive into It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966), examining why Bill Melendez’s transcendent animation, Vince Guaraldi’s legendary jazz score, and Charles Schulz’s enduring Americana continue to define the entire fall season.  Whether you're waiting in a sincere pumpkin patch, carving jack-o'-lanterns, or just looking for an excuse to drink something warm under a blanket, this episode explores why the Peanuts holiday specials remain a critical ornamentation of the holiday season.
