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.

Ride the High Country (1962) w/ Tom Augustine
"Showdown in the High Sierra!"
Our two weary cowboy hosts form a posse with film critic Tom Augustine to journey into the world of Sam Peckinpah with what is perhaps a surprising pick for Bloody Sam's first entry into the National Film Registry, the Randolph Scott/Joel McCrea two-hander Ride the High Country (1962) -
Big Business (1929) w/ a Surprise Guest
"The story of a man who turned the other cheek- And got punched in the nose!"
Mike and Tom are all set to be joined by a surprise guest for their episode about the hijink filled buddy comedy Big Business (1929) from the iconic comedy duo of Laurel & Hardy. But just who booked the surprise guest, and when will they get there? -
Morocco (1930) w/ Alonso Duralde
"Who is this woman who scorns a hundred men...to give her love to a Devil-May-Care Soldier?"
Alonso Duralde, author of the new book Hollywood Pride, joins us to talk the lady in the tux who takes center stage on the cover of his book, as we dive into 1930's war-torn romance, Morocco. We examine the film's queer undertones (or, really, overtones), the iconography of Marlene Dietrich, and what the film shares in common with a Kevin Smith movie from the 90s. -
Footlight Parade (1933) w/ Hass & Swanton
"Nothing like it since movies were created! 300 Girls, 1000 Surprises, 5 New Song Hits!"
The musical team of Hass & Swanton (Kyle Reid Hass & Jeremy Swanton) return to the show once again, this time for what is inarguably the greatest movie musical about putting on live prologues before movie screenings ever to hit the silver screen, Footlight Parade (1933)! We'll talk Cagney, Berkeley, and folks getting frisky at the "Honeymoon Hotel". Plus, we talk about Hass & Swanton's new musical TV series, Act of Faith! -
The Gold Rush (1925/1942) w/ Glenn Garthwaite
"He will make you laugh, roar, scream- he'll make you choke back your tears. Ten reels of Chaplin as you like him. It's the Picture You've waited for!"
Editor Glenn Garthwaite returns to the show to discuss the Chaplin comedy so nice, he released it twice. Regarded as one of the Little Tramp's finest outings, the Klondike comedy The Gold Rush was a smash success when released as a silent in 1925. Then, in 1942, Chaplin rereleased it with a new score and narration by none other than Charlie (or, fine, Charles) himself, which received two Academy Award nominations. -
The Big Parade (1925) Commentary Track
One of the first films to provide a realistic depiction of warfare and its effects on those both on and off the battlefield, King Vidor's 1925 epic The Big Parade became one of the highest-grossing films of the silent era, and MGM's biggest hit until another war epic, Gone With the Wind (1939).
For our episode on The Big Parade, we opted to forgo our usual roundtable discussion format in favor of a feature-length commentary track, to ensure that everyone gets to see this landmark work of Hollywood filmmaking from a bygone age.
Customer Reviews
Niche content and great laughs!
The team behind “You’re missing out” have a great mission behind their podcast! As someone fascinated with film history and philosophy, I got so much out of my first listen with the “Shadow of a Doubt” episode with a great guest spot from my buddy, singer-songwriter and podcaster, Micah McCaw. I would totally recommend “You’re Missing Out”!
If You Feel Like You’re Missing Out...
As someone who is mostly movie illiterate, this podcast has been AMAZING. The team does a great job having a in depth and fantastic dialogue while also making the discussion approachable for people who aren’t self described “movie buffs”. I have been watching the movies along with this first season and they have brought me a lot of joy during this crazy year of 2020. If you want to know more about film but feel like totally intimidated, this is a great place to start.
Different perspectives on a definitive list
Loving the reinvention of the podcast around the Library of Congress inductees. Mike and Tom have hilarious interplay and the guests always add something special and interesting to each episode.
