Travis and Annie may not always agree about movies, but they enjoy hashing out what film creators are saying. These thoroughly amateur film lovers take on decades and subgenres to discuss how the films reflect specific cultures and humanity at large. But only if Bonnie-the-Great-Dane will shut up long enough to let them record. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ltmspod/support

"Vertigo" (1958)
An aspirational man who is arguably obsessed with mid-life crises and a word nerd test their fear of cinematic heights while diving head first into Hitchcock's Masterpiece.

Let the Movie Speak!
"Vertigo" (1958)
Season 5, Episode 12
After discussing their week of watching, including Frances Ha (2012), & The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), the duo of Travis and guest host Annie attempt to peel back the layers of what makes Vertigo (1958) so captivating now, why it didn't exactly grab audiences or critics at the time of it's release, discuss whether or not its protagonist is singularly problematic, and, of course, find themselves at the culdesac of: "Is It Worth Your Time?"

"Elevator to the Gallows" (1958)
Les amis discover this: if style over substance were a virtue, this film would still be a few francs short of a euro.

"Elevator to the Gallows" (1958)
Season 5, Episode 10
After discussing their week of watching, including Spencer (2021), & Frankenstein (1931), the boys hop on a plane to the seedy, black and white streets of Paris, France to delve into the world of Julian and Florence. They touch on what French New-Wave contributed to film, and how this particular entry leaves much to be desired if you care about things happening that matter in your movies. All of it culminates in an answer to their favorite question: "Is It Worth Your Time?"

Customer Reviews
Clever observations, fun repartee
I am always fascinated when I listen to two long time friends converse. (Yes, I eavesdrop). These two long time friends (74 years is what they say, but I’m guessing that they are not even half that age) are worth listening to for their back and forth witty comments, and then add to that an interesting and insightful review of a movie and you’ve got an hour you’ll enjoy.
Great Show for Classic Films
I really enjoy your show. I’m glad you mostly focus on the early favorites (mostly pre-1970). I especially like pre-1945 content including silents
I wish you would do an episode on THE LAST COMMAND. There are so many outstanding films at the final few years of silents. This is one of many.
Cat People (1942)
Travis and Justin gave an excellent discussion on one of my favorite classic horror films. Their chat was informative, engaging and fun to listen to.
