A Strange Brew of Old and New

Warner Archive Podcast

Hi! This is George, Matt and DW from Warner Archive - how's it goin', eh? Our topic today is Hollywood and we'll be discussing Bob and Doug McKenzie's epic film, Strange Brew (1983) starring Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas now out on blu-ray - mouse in a bottle not included, eh!. Our second topic today is TV Classics like Young Maverick (1979-80) - he's in the wild west, and the fifth and final season of Dr. Kildare (1965-66) starring Richard Chamberlin - this one's in color, eh! Then we move on to classic films like Woman in White (1949) and Lizzie (1957) with the lovely Eleanor Parker. She's a beauty, no? And then it's time for the RKO Varieties Triple Feature with three different hour long films that bridge the gap between radio, film and TV with hosts Gil Lamb and Jack Parr with acts like Edgar Kennedy, Anne Shirley, Red Buttons and Liberace. That guy can really play the piano! Lastly we got three Hong Kong films from Golden Harvest including A Terra-cotta Warrior (1989) - about an ancient Chinese guy who becomes a statue for like 3000 years, He's a Woman, She's a Man (1994) - because that's what happens, eh - and Hark Tsui's The Blade (1995) about a one-armed swordsman with a killer sword. And that's our podcast for today, so good day!
