Step into the cinematic time machine once again with hosts Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler. In this episode, Brad and Jake confront their cinematic blind spots of 1950.

First up is "Night and the City," a gripping film noir directed by Jules Dassin. Brad assigns this atmospheric gem to Jake, peeling back the layers of a seedy London underworld and the desperate dreams of a small-time hustler. As they navigate the shadows of deception, betrayal, and moral ambiguity, the hosts reveal their professional wrestling fandom and how wrestling history intersects with this movie.

Next, Jake takes the plunge and introduces Brad to "Sunset Boulevard," a darkly satirical masterpiece directed by Billy Wilder. Set in the decaying glamour of Hollywood, the film delves into the twisted tale of a faded silent movie star and a struggling screenwriter entangled in her web of delusions. As Brad confronts his own cinematic oversights, the hosts explore the influence the movie had on modern narratives of the business behind Hollywood.

Whether you're a fan of these films, a fellow latecomer to them, or simply seeking engaging conversations about forgotten cinema, take a listen!
