Great podcast. Not sure what the first series of films in Hollywood was, but it definitely wasn’t The Thin Man since Tarzan and Charlie Chan predate it. William Powell is great, I love My Man Godfrey and Libeled Lady. Sad to hear this podcast will now only be monthly, but I understand. What day is the Aliens podcast? Looking forward to it.

We are going to be releasing these on the 15th of every month, so Aliens will be on 1/15.

Which version of aliens will you all be watching? Big differences between theatrical and directors cut. Oh and apparently WB was developing a Thin Man remake a while back with Johnny Depp as Nick.

Funny you ask that. I watched the theatrical cut and everyone else watched the director’s cut…we talk about it a bit.

Oh that’s interesting. Have you seen the directors cut before? It seems like most people that didn’t see in it in 1986 have only seen the directors cut. I have a bit of nostalgia for the theatrical cut since I saw it so many times on vhs as a kid.

No, but I need to see it to compare and contrast!
