| Castro Street (1966) | 29 Aug 2024 | 01:29:24 | |
"Bruce Baillie makes avant-garde films with the gifts of a painter and the objectives of a sign painter."
This week, we sat down as just Tom and Mike to talk about Bruce Baillie's Castro Street. But more than that, we sat down to, in a sense, "How To Watch Experimental Films (If You Don't Like Experimental Films)". After Tom notably had no patience for Dog Star Man earlier this season, Mike was surprised to find Tom really resonated with this 10-minute avant-garde portrait of industrial California.
So, if you've ever found yourself thinking experimental film is daunting, incomprehensible, or yes, even pretentious, Tom (who has thought all three at times) takes the lead on this episode to help make sense of Castro Street, and offer a pathway into the rich and diverse world of experimental cinema.
Plus, we take a look at Baillie's other major work, All My Life (1966), to compare and contrast the two shorts. Follow the Show:

| The Big Parade (1925) Commentary Track | 13 Jun 2024 | 02:40:11 | |
One of the first films to provide a realistic depiction of warfare and its effects on those both on and off the battlefield, King Vidor's 1925 epic The Big Parade became one of the highest-grossing films of the silent era, and MGM's biggest hit until another war epic, Gone With the Wind (1939). For our episode on The Big Parade, we opted to forgo our usual roundtable discussion format in favor of a feature-length commentary track, to ensure that everyone gets to see this landmark work of Hollywood filmmaking from a bygone age. Watch the full film with our commentary here: https://youtu.be/iRuKW3osSbY Follow the Show:

| BONUS: Surviving the Wasteland: A Spoiler-Fueled 'Mad Max' Recap | 06 Jun 2024 | 01:19:39 | |
In this bonus episode, we give our audio-only listeners a taste of what Tom has been doing over on the You're Missing Out YouTube channel. If you like what you hear here, head on over and subscribe. Not only will that be the only place to find Tom's monthly exclusive livestreams, but next week, you'll be able to watch 1925's The Big Parade in full, with our feature-length commentary track playing along with it. So strap in, because for this bonus, we're pulling away from the National Film Registry, and going full gear into the Wasteland. Witness us! Mad Max is more than just an influential film franchise; it's an indelible part of the Australian cultural identity. From modest beginnings as an independent thriller by George Miller and Byron Kennedy in 1979, Mad Max expanded into two high-octane post-apocalyptic epics in the 1980s with Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985). By 1995, ten years after the seeming end of the franchise, Australia named Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior as a quintessential piece of their 'National Cinematic Heritage' for UNESCO's Memory of the World preservation program. The legacy of Mad Max was further cemented with the arguably unprecedented critical success of its long-delayed "legacy sequel" Mad Max: Fury Road, which recast the role of Max Rockatansky and rode shiny and chrome to 10 nominations at the 88th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and ultimately taking home six statues (the most of any film that night). Now, with the release of Fury Road's prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Tom Lorenzo revisits the franchise that went from Australian indie to Oscar juggernaut, to see what we can take away today from the film series that redefined our idea of life after the apocalypse.

"A Mighty Epic Of Modern Morals!"
Vincent Williams and Len Webb of The Micheaux Mission stop by the show to talk about the first "race film" inducted into the National Film Registry, and it's...not by Oscar Micheaux. We're talking about actor/director Spencer Williams' 1941 morality play The Blood of Jesus. We tackle the equally complex topics of race, religion, and whether Madea Goes to Jail or Boo 2! A Madea Halloween is getting into the Registry first. Watch the full film The Blood of Jesus for free on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/U4oCPxG_UiM Hosts: Michael Natale

| Paths of Glory (1957) w/ Michael H. Weber | 08 Aug 2024 | 01:43:14 | |
"Never has the screen thrust so deeply into the guts of war!"
Screenwriter Michael H. Weber (500 Days of Summer, The Disaster Artist) returns to the show to talk about one of Stanley Kubrick's under-discussed masterworks, the stirring Kirk Douglas-led war film Paths of Glory (1957)! We'll talk pacifism, systemic failure, and how this anti-war film compares to Kubrick's own later film, Full Metal Jacket.

| The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) w/ Cat Bowen | 21 Sep 2023 | 01:58:46 | |
"Real life screened more daringly than it's ever been before!"
One of the few films whose reputation is based as much on what isn't onscreen as what is, writer Cat Bowen joins us to talk about Orson Welles' famously interfered-with follow-up to Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons. We talk what works, what's missing, and what made Francois Truffaut call the film a "mutilated masterpiece."

| BONUS: People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive | 07 Sep 2023 | 03:03:38 | |
The You're Missing Out team were hoping to have some much needed rest over Labor Day weekend. They thought "Let's do a simple, silly bonus episode this week." They thought "Let's get some friends together, let's find an idea that's short, and fun, and will only take about an hour."
They were gravely mistaken. This episode was ill-advised.
You're Missing Out is normally about the National Film Registry, but there are, of course, other equally prestigious honors given out annually. In this bonus episode, we take a look at one such honor:
Every year since 1985, the editors of People magazine have selected one celebrity to declare the Sexiest Man Alive. The criteria? The man must be culturally, historically, or aesthetically attractive. This week on You’re Missing Out, we’ll take a look at all of these celebs, to try to get to the heart of why they were selected, and why they’re still sexy.
This week, we’re joined by guests Bella Zaydenberg and Carrie McCabe to talk about People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.
