Nicholas Ybarra and returning guest Max Sopkin celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the cult classic and the longest-running film in theatrical history.

Nick and Max talk about their personal connection and history with the film, and delve into a hilarious and informative recap of this film and two other cult-classic rock musicals.

• We start, of course, with the reason we’re here, Tim Curry, Susan Surandon, and Barry Bostwick in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• Second, we explore the lesser-known sequel (or equal?) to Rocky Horror, Richard O’Brien’s Shock Treatment.
• Finally, one year before Rocky Horror, Brian DePalma had yet another box office bomb turned cult-classic in the brilliant Phantom of the Paradise.

Tell us about your experiences with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Have you seen it? Do you love it? Have you been to a shadow cast?

Before heading into the Holiday season, Noir November could not be ignored. For the first time, Nick & Bella celebrate Noir November with three unforgettable, game-changing classics.

• We start with the Humphrey Bogart-led masterpiece and the catalyst for the Film Noir movement, 1941’s The Maltese Falcon.
• Second, Billy Wilder’s bleak, twisted, and sultry classic Double Indemnity.
• Finally, Alfred Hitchcock dipped his toes in the Noir lore with the wildly unnerving Strangers on a Train.

Nick and Bella also dive into the debate of whether Film Noir is a genre or a style.

Let us know what you think of these films, and let us know what your favorite Film Noir movie is.

In our 100th episode, we invited you, our audience, to select the films we’d discuss. In a mini-tournament which included the top films from three different lists: Sight and Sound Magazine’s Greatest Films of All Time, IMDb’s highest rated films of all time, and Letterboxd’s highest rated films of all time, these were the films you selected.

• We open with the American masterpiece that changed the crime genre and cinema as a whole: Francis Ford Coppola’s brilliant epic, The Godfather.
• Second, the master Alfred Hitchcock is at the top of his game in this gorgeous but wildly unnerving psychological thriller, Vertigo.
• Finally, Sidney Lumet delivers the goods in his debut feature film, 12 Angry Men, a boiling pot of tension.

Thanks to all who voted. And thank you for helping us reach one hundred episodes!
