Chet, a Baby Boomer, and Dee, a Millennial, share their perspectives on classic films. They'll tell you why they think these films are worth seeing and what we can learn from them. Although you'll hear a little trivia and a bit of talk about film-making and story-telling technique, the emphasis is on the value of the films as cultural artifacts. What do they tell us about the times in which they were made? What lessons can they still teach us today?
"The Uninvited" (1944) Classic Movie Recommendation
We're back just in time for our favorite season: spooky movie month! This year's Halloween special offers the perfect mix of fright and fun in one of the first movies to take the haunted house genre seriously. The script, cinematography and music are top notch, and the cast keeps it classy. In addition to some decent scares, this movie has an interesting subtext, and its youngest star was destined for real life tragedy.

"The Haunting" (1963) Classic Movie Recommendation
Among the many things that Chet, Dee and Martin Scorsese have in common is their opinion that this is one of the scariest and most artfully crafted horror movies ever made. We try not to spoil too much of the creepy plot as we gush about all the little things that made this film a spine-tingling masterpiece.

"The Four Musketeers" (1975) Classic Movie Recommendation
Technically, this is a sequel to 1973's The Three Musketeers, but it's really just the second half of Richard Lester's epic adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel, shot at the same time as the original. In keeping with the spirit of the film, we recorded our two podcasts in one setting, and this one picks up without introduction where the previous episode left off.
