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. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profi…

"The Four Musketeers" (1975) Classic Movie Recommendation 31:03

10M ago31:03

31:03

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 prev…

Action, adventure, comedy, romance, intrigue—what more could you want out of a movie? Director Richard Lester packs it all into his adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas classic.

Instead of reviewing a movie, we’re reviewing a TV network this time. Turner Classic Movies has just undergone a major upheaval, resulting in the firing of most of its staff.

53:42

Chet and Dee marvel at the screwiest of screwball comedies, directed by an all-time great and starring two of Hollywood's biggest stars--all before they had won over audiences and critics. Real life didn't offer much to laugh at in 1938. The country was mired in the Great Depression and fascism was on the rise in Europe. Hollywood, long under fire …
