Couple Indemnity

We are back with another episode this week with our good friend Scott, who joined us to review Hal's choice, the screwball romantic comedy classic You Can't Take It With You (1938). 

Alice (played by Jean Arthur), the only relatively normal member of the eccentric Sycamore family, falls in love with Tony Kirby (James Stewart), but his wealthy banker father (Edward Arnold) and snobbish mother (Mary Forbes) strongly disapprove of the match. When the Kirbys are invited to dinner to become better acquainted with their future in-laws, things don’t turn out the way Alice had hoped.

Director: Frank Capra

For Izzy's latest choice for Spooktober, we are officially covering our oldest movie for the podcast with the renowned German Silent Horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), that tells the story of a hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a Somnabulist Cesare (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders. 
Director: Robert Wiene

For Hal's next big choice for Spooktober, we are reviewing the 1965 British psychological horror film Repulsion, starring Catherine Deneuve, who plays Carol, a withdrawn, disturbed young woman who, when left alone in the apartment she shares with her sister, is subject to a number of nightmarish experiences.

Director: Roman Polanski

For Izzy's first Spooktober choice this year, she has chosen the popular zombie comedy film Shaun of the Dead (2004) written by and starring Simon Pegg as Shaun, a downtrodden London salesman who is caught alongside his loved ones and friend Ed (played by Nick Frost) in a zombie apocalypse.
Director: Edgar Wright

In our first episode for this year's Spooktober season, Hal has gone with the famous British Folk Horror cult classic The Wicker Man, a first-time watch for us both!

The film's plot centres on the visit of a police officer, Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward), to the fictional, isolated Scottish island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. What will he discover there?

Director: Robin Hardy
