We're heading into Apache territory, where the biggest danger might not be waiting outside the stagecoach.It might be sitting right next to you.In this episode David Garrett of the "Journey With A Cinephile" podcast joins us to discuss and dive in to our first film of the historic 1939 year.

Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "You Can't Take It With You" & "The Adventures of Robin Hood
Ep 73
"You Can't Take It With You"
Release Date: September 1, 1938
Directed By: Frank Capra
"The Adventures of Robin Hood"
Release Date: May 14th, 1938
Directed By: Michael Curtiz
What do Robin Hood and a family of eccentric dreamers have in common? On the surface, absolutely nothing. One is swinging swords, stealing from the rich, and fighting for England; the other is refusing to pay taxes because they’d rather spend their lives doing whatever makes them happy. But 1938 gave us both—and somehow, both movies became timeless.
The Adventures of Robin Hood is pure Hollywood spectacle: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Technicolor, sword fights, romance, and one of the most iconic heroes of the era. Then You Can’t Take It With You goes in the completely opposite direction—a warm, chaotic comedy about choosing happiness over money and expectations. Two wildly different movies, but both asking the same question: what is a life actually worth?
