The Forgotten Man - My Man Godfrey (1936)
Sarah and Lisa chat about their favorite lines from My Man Godfrey (1936). These dialogues are a mouthful, and make for amazing quotes to include in your everyday life. William Powell and Carole Lombard star in this screwball comedy about an eccentric family, and a “forgotten man” named Godfrey.

Why It’s Called "Gaslighting" - Gaslight (1944)
Another thriller! More Ingrid Bergman! In this episode, Lisa and Sarah talk about the 1944 MGM film, Gaslight.
This film is notable for many reasons, however, we would like to dedicate this episode to the legendary Angela Lansbury. Lansbury made her film debut in Gaslight and left us with an incredible acting career spanning over 8 decades.
