Leave It to Beaver Memories with Jerry Mathers!

Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas Old Soul Movie Podcast Family! Today we are celebrating two beloved classics from Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment- a team that brought beloved holiday characters to life predominately throughout the 1960s-1980s. These films have been part of American families' celebration of the seasons for decades and we are excited to pay tribute to their legacy! First, we meet a young buck named Rudolph, whose "nonconformity" brings him on a journey from outcast to foggy-weathered hero. Next, we meet Frosty, a lively man made of snow who must get to the North Pole before he melts away! Pull up a cup of hot cocoa and tune into some holiday cheer as we curl up in nostalgia this Christmas <3

HAPPY (almost) HALLOWEEN! Today we are covering Bride of Frankenstein (1935) with our horror-movie expert guest: Dr. Solberg! This film is the sequel to the original that started it all.

Dr. Solberg breaks down this film in its entirety and helps us discover why this is one of the most iconic horror films ever made -an absolute must watch for anyone who loves spooky season (or wants to appreciate the humor of Young Frankenstein even more). Stay tuned til the very end where Dr. Solberg will reveal what he considers the top 12 horror films ever made! 

Dr. Solberg's top 12 horror movie list starts at 1:35:09

The moviegoing sensation that's taken over the nation has arrived...Barbenheimer. On July 21st, two of the most anticipated films of the year were released on the same day: Greta Gerwig's Barbie (2023) and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023). Two of the most innovative directors of our time lead two incredible teams of cast and crew (both backed by husband-wife production companies) to deliver unforgettable viewing experiences. While these aren't Old Hollywood films, the two figures at the center of both stories emerged in time periods we frequently discuss, and it's amazing to see the public reexamine them now!  Emma and Jack discuss their their Barbenheimer impressions-- the order they watched them in, the logistics of watching them, first impressions, and more. Let us know your thoughts and feelings to THE summer theater event!

*Emma apologizes for saying Hans instead of Hansel in reference to Zoolander (cringe face)

In this very special Old Soul episode we discuss the amazing worlds of Sci-Fi and Horror with Dr. Roger Solberg! Dr. Solberg is a Professor Emeritus of English at Pennsylvania Western University-Edinboro. Before retiring in June 2022 he taught at Edinboro since 1989. In addition to teaching Literature and Film courses, he is also a three-time Jeopardy! champion (aka he knows A LOT!). Dr. Solberg walks us through the earliest creations of Horror and Sci-Fi novels/novellas and the transition to adapting these works into early films. We overview some of his favorite features and how the genres have evolved throughout the years. We are so grateful to learn more from him on the highlights (and lowlights) of some of Hollywood's most creative, inventive films!

And weeeeeeee'lllllllllllllllll always love Frank Farmer!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Valentine's Day Old Soul Family! We cover the iconic 90s movie The Bodyguard (1992). Kevin Costner takes the reins as a leading man alongside Whitney Houston in her very first acting role! Lawrence Kasdan initially dreamed of this movie being made in the 1970s. Through twists and turns, much like the suspense this movie offers, it came to fruition at exactly the right time. Join us in the love as we discuss our favorite scenes and songs of this modern-age classic. We have nothing if we don't have Frank and Rachel together <3

Happy Ja-noir-y Old Soul Family! We are kicking off the New Year by visiting an Old Hollywood favorite...Double Indemnity (1944)! This sordid tale was unlike any other in its day. Between themes of murderous schemes (from the murderer's perspective), sexual temptation, and manipulation, this film set the gold standard of noir entertainment...all while pushing the production code guidelines. We revisit an old favorite topic of the PCA and how Double Indemnity (1944) marked a turning point in classic movies. The prolific Billy Wilder's first thriller is one you can never forget. So create an alibi and come conspire with us as we spy into the lives of Walter Neff, Keyes, and the Dietrichsons...
