Never Did It: A podcast for folks who like movies but haven't seen them all yet.

This week, we tackle a pair of movies from 1959. Brad Garoon starts by recommending House on Haunted Hill, starring Vincent Price. Brad and Jake talk about the joys of kitsch, vats of acid, practical effects in classic movies, and Price's iconic place in movie history.

Jake assigns Brad Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot, one of the most celebrated comedies of all time. They talk about comedies standing the test of time and what premises could be remade today, Marilyn Monroe's power as a comedy star, and the charm of Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis.
