You're Missing Out: A National Film Registry Podcast

"They said it couldn't be filmed – but it was! See it and ask – what if such a thing could happen?"

Horror expert and "literally wrote the book on big monsters" author Graham Skipper swings by the pod to talk everyone's big ape buddy King Kong. We'll talk the birth of the blockbuster, palpable personality in a stop-motion creature, and why the Kong iconography remains so powerful 90 years later.

"The lives lost were precious lives- to their county, to their loved ones, and to the men themselves."

In 1945, military officials were astounded by the battle footage captured by John Huston in his pointedly anti-war documentary short The Battle of San Pietro. Decades later, it was revealed that the real battle had occurred before the cameras even arrived. Editor Glenn Garthwaite joins us to untangle the complicated legacy of Houston's WWII film, and the rich history of those fateful filmmaking figures who went to war and came back changed.

Michael H. Weber was simply trying to lay low, enjoying his life as a successful screenwriter, when a figure from his past reappears to remind him of a foolish deal he made: agreeing to appear on a show about the National Film Registry about a year ago. Now he must return to the world of danger, corruption, double crosses, and duplicitous dames known as podcasting, to discuss Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Greer in Jacques Tourneur's iconic noir, Out of the Past.

"It took two years to make; it gives you two hours of engrossing entertainment. You may hate it, as you hate the dangerous undercurrents of life, but you will be fascinated, thrilled, held spell-bound."

Heads up! This is a very different kind of episode of You're Missing Out. Instead of sitting down with a guest and bouncing all around the plot of the film like we often do, this time, Mike, Tom, and Kyle sat down on mic to record a full-length (well, full-length for the shortest of the full length versions of this film) commentary track for Erich von Stroheim's 1924 masterpiece, Greed. Listen to it here, or watch the full film with commentary attached on our Youtube channel.

"A gentleman thief and a lady pickpocket join forces to con a beautiful perfume company owner!"

The twisting turns of a con-artist drama meet the ping-pong dialogue of a romantic comedy, all with that classic Ernst Lubitsch touch. Actor David Bluvband joins us to talk about 1932's Trouble in Paradise. We discuss bawdy humor, the Hays code, and of course, which Super Mario Bros. character would play which role in the film.

"The Roaring West At Its Reckless Best!"

Editor AJ McKeon (Blank Check with Griffin and David) strolls into our little town of You're Missing Out to settle a score: what's the best Wyatt Earp movie? We're mostly talking 1946's My Darling Clementine, but when you put three millennials on podcast about cowboys, you know you're gonna get some Tombstone (1993) talk too!

"The New Screen Musical in Gorgeous Color by the Composer of "My Fair Lady"

The musical team of Hass & Swanton (Kyle Reid Hass and Jeremy Swanton) join the show once again, this time clad in robes and sipping champagne. What better way to celebrate the lavish film that is Gigi (1958)! We break down what made the film such a phenomenon in its day, what it still has to offer 65 years later, and if a former hater is finally ready to say "Thank heaven" for Gigi.

"Twenty-four times a second-truth. This is truth. It's gotta be true."

Producer Ben Hosley (Blank Check with Griffin & David) returns to the show. Last time, he talked about a rebel without a cause. This time, he's talking about...a filmmaker without a plot? A hipster without a hint of self-awareness? Just what is David Holzman's Diary? We'll unpack this underseen but hugely influential indie film which captures the vibe of 1960s New York like no other.
