The year is 1955 and the movies are gentle. Brad Garoon assigns Jake Ziegler the Ladykillers, a movie ranked very high on the BFI Top 100 Films of All Time list, and lauded as one of Alec Guinness's most entertaining performances. They compare Alexander Mackendrick's version to that of the Coen Brothers 50 years later, and talk about Tom Hanks's odd accent decisions over the years.

Jake then assigns Brad the Delbert Mann-directed and Paddy Chayefsky-written Marty, mostly because both hosts like Quiz Show and Marty was a huge part of that film. They talk bubble romance movies, where the world stops so two people have a little time to fall in love, and then they fall over themselves to praise the performances by Ernest Borgnine and Betsy Blair.
