Brad kicks things off with Alfred Hitchcock's thriller "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Learn about the origins of Peter Lorre's career, how Hitchcock showed his growing pains early on, and whether or not the James Stewart remake is an improvement on the original.

On the other side Jake recommends "It Happened One Night," a romantic comedy that not only swept the Oscars but also set the template for all romantic comedies to follow. Directed by Frank Capra and starring the charismatic duo of Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, this movie is a delightful mix of humor, romance, and social commentary, and a starting point for Mel Brooks to rip off dialogue.

Other movies mentioned in this episode:

M (1931), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Bigger Than Life (1956), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Space Balls (1987), Walk on Water (2004), Me and Orson Welles (2008), Footnote (2011), Foxtrot (2017), and Tenet (2020).
