   In this episode, we take a deep dive into 1940's "The Ghost Breakers" starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard. We're joined by movie expert Katharine Lhota. We discuss Hope's early movie persona and the way it evolved over time, we comment on his acting ability, we try to figure out the convoluted plot of the movie, we discuss Willie Best's role in the movie and racial stereotypes in old movies in general, we reminisce about the days when old movies like this used to be shown frequently on television, and Anthony makes one particular comment that cracks us all up. Enjoy!

   Classic Comedy Conversations #4- I Married A Witch (1942), starring Veronica Lake and Fredric March

   In our first October episode, we discuss the 1942 fantasy comedy "I Married A Witch", with comedian Ken Reid, host of the TV Guidance Counselor podcast. We discuss the many inconsistencies in the film's plot and humor, our reservations about Cecil Kellaway's presence in this film, Fredric March being too old for the part, the lack of chemistry between him and Veronica Lake, and Anthony reveals his #1 biggest nitpick about the film. In spite of some of our negative comments, it's still a fun film and we had an interesting conversation about it. Enjoy!
