| The Importance of "Confessions of a Nazi Spy" | 14 Mar 2023 | 00:47:26 | |
George Feltenstein and Jeff Briggs of Warner Bros join the podcast to discuss one of the most important films in the history of the studio. The political thriller "Confessions of a NAZI SPY," (1939) was the first feature film from a major studio to take on the fascism of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Based on real-life events, the film delves into a spy ring in New York that recruited Americans into the German American Bund. George and Jeff detail the courage of the brothers Warner to take on this material, develop it into a feature film, and the casting of stars Edward G. Robinson, Francis Lederer, George Sanders, and Paul Lukas. Many actors in supporting roles and production crew went uncredited due to fears of reprisals against their familys still in Europe. George also details the remastering of the film for the new Blu-ray and the robust extras that are included. This is a terrific film that is also one of the most important films in the Warner Bros catalog. This episode is part of our 100th year celebration of Warner Bros.

| "Lucifer" with Showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich | 12 Sep 2022 | 00:47:23 | |
LUCIFER showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich take a fun-filled look back at the TV series to commemorate the release of the sixth and final season on DVD and Blu-ray. We discuss the move from Vancouver, Canada to LA between seasons 2 & 3 and the impact on the cast and crew. And we review the extras we worked on together, including the hilarious gag reel and the featurette on the building of the new sets on the Warner Bros lot. We also dive into the heart-wrenching cancelation after the third season and the amazing outpouring on social media from the fans which led to a Netflix pickup and an additional three seasons. And we reveal some of the challenges of the sixth season and the ultimately satisfying conclusion. You don’t want to miss this nostalgic and fun-filled discussion on one of the highest-rated shows on Netflix in the last few years.
