- TV & Film
-
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.

Salesman (1969) w/ Amy Nicholson
"Spread The Word"
Documentarian Amy Nicholson returns to the show for another totemic work of direct cinema, the Maysles Brothers & Charlotte Zwerin's profoundly bleak portrait of door to door Bible sellers, Salesman (1969). We'll talk The Beatles, acting careers, and the true star of Amy's most recent film, Happy Campers. -
Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) w/ Robert Bellissimo
"This is the love every woman lives for...the love every man would die for!"
Robert Bellissimo returns to the show, this time to discuss the woefully under-discussed Ophuls masterwork, Letter from an Unknown Woman. There's Fontaine, Jourdan, and much more Return of Swamp Thing talk than you might imagine. -
The Night of the Hunter (1955) w/ David Bluvband
"The wedding night, the anticipation, the kiss, the knife, BUT ABOVE ALL... THE SUSPENSE!"
David Bluvband (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Chris Gethard Show) joins the show once more, this time to tackle the one and only film directed by the legendary Charles Laughton, 1955's The Night of the Hunter. -
Nashville (1975) w/ Andrew Daniels
"We must be doing something right to last 200 years!"
Editor Andrew Daniels turns this duo act into a trio as we take a look at Robert Altman's 1975 satirical American epic Nashville. Get ready for Bicentennial talk, favorite character conversations, and a lot more references to R.E.M. than you'd expect. -
What's Opera, Doc? (1957) w/ Sierra Webb
"You-ho-to-ho!"
We love talking animation on the show (Mike and Kyle do, at least). Sierra Webb makes her return to You're Missing Out for the 1957 Merrie Melodies short, What's Opera Doc? -
Psycho (1960) & Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985) w/ Patrick Cotnoir
"We all go a little mad sometimes"
Patrick Cotnoir (The George Lucas Talk Show) checks in to You're Missing Out once more, this time to discuss Alfred Hitchcock's hugely influential horror film, Psycho (1960).
And of course, it wouldn't be a Patrick Cotnoir episode without some Star Wars ephemera talk. So we'll also be discussing the 1985 made-for-TV movie Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, which is arguably slightly less influential than Psycho.
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.
