   This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, we open with the peanuts as the Cubs make a quiet exit from the playoffs at the hands of the San Diego Padres. Meanwhile, the White Sox—playing free of expectations—capture their first postseason series in more than twenty years. In Popcorn, we’ve got two excellent films to break down. We begin with Howard Hawks’ classic western Rio Bravo (1959). Then we turn to Martin Scorsese’s feverish, late‑night odyssey Bringing Out the Dead (1999). Next Show’s Films: • Tom’s Pick: Rififi (1955)• Leo’s Pick: Educating Rita (1983)

   This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, we open with the Peanuts as the regular season winds down and the playoff picture comes into focus. Pete Crow‑Armstrongcontinues to strengthen his case for Most Valuable Player, but the question remains: can the Cubs hold on and punch their ticket to the post‑season dance. In Popcorn, we break down two excellent films. We begin with Tommy’s selection, the neon‑soaked rock‑and‑roll fable Streets of Fire (1984). Then we travel back to 1939 to revisit Leo's pick, one of Hollywood’s towering epics, Gone With the Wind. Next Show’s Films:Tom’s Pick: Bringing Out the Dead (1999) Leo’s Pick: Rio Bravo (1959)
