From Here to Eternity (1953) and Adaptations of Military Novels with Vincent Casaregola, Ph.D.: This week, we are joined by Dr. Vincent Casaregola of Saint Louis University to discuss the iconic film From Here to Eternity (1953). While everyone is familiar with Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster's famous kiss on the beach, what you might not know is how the film explores masculinity, femininity, and military culture from James Jones's novel of the same name. Dr. Casaregola also walks us through various post-war written materials how they have been adapted to the screen from 1946 through today. We also break down the incredibly talented cast involved in our featured film and the dynamic work Burt Lancaster helped create during this era. *Note this episode discusses film content related to sexual violence which may be uncomfortable or triggering to audiences.

That's right, we're covering an Old Hollywood classic: The Birds (1963)! Tippi Hedren captivates us as a San Fransisco socialite who follows a charming lawyer (and perfect stranger) to his childhood home, but soon finds herself to be the target of avian aggressors. We soar in and out of theories as to what this mysterious Hitchcockian movie means and why it's considered a significant feature.

The Long, Long Tailer (1954): Bring some snacks and buckle up because we're hittin' the road with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz! That's right, we're covering a quintessential summer classic: The Long, Long Trailer (1954)! A newlywed couple decides to take their honeymoon on a trip across the western country in a new mobile home...only for it to become a pretty "rocky" adventure. We touch upon how the "I Love Lucy" comedians conquered the big screen, why the road movie genre is a recipe for success, and what we love about tiny houses/school bus renovations. This sweet comedy ~"wheel"~ have you rolling with laughter! by The Old Soul Movie Podcast

David Copperfield (1935): We're back, Old Soul family! And we are covering an audience recommendation of a classic novel adaptation: David Copperfield! One of Charles Dickens's own favorite characters, the story of young David is a coming-of-age tale with lovable (and hate-able) characters that influence his life in becoming an aspiring author. This movie came to be out of producer David O. Selznick's love and devotion to his own father...and much to the opposition of his father-in-law (who was head of the studio)! We loved giving our first impressions on a story that has been on many people's bookshelves for over a century! by The Old Soul Movie Podcast

Life with Father (1947): Around Fathers' Day, we are celebrating with a tale of paternal misadventures: Life with Father (1947)! In this Michael Curtiz classic, we watch the redheaded Day family navigate entertaining out-of-town guests (including Mary Skinner played by a young Elizabeth Taylor!), recruiting household employees (which usually ends in failure), being scammed into a sales scheme, and the biggest issue of all... convincing their husband/father to get baptized so he can potentially join them in the "kingdom of God." In this episode, we learn about what it means to be baptized and also what our own unbaptized Ben thinks at the end of the episode! With both silly and tender moments, this movie is sure to touch your heart. Let us know your favorite movie about fatherly devotion! by The Old Soul Movie Podcast

The Westmore Family: A Hollywood Makeup Dynasty with Christiana Benson: This week, we had the privilege of talking with the Westmore family historian and great grandaughter of Ern Westmore: Christiana Benson! The Westmores were some of the most prominent makeup artists of Old Hollywood; they created looks for films such as Gone With the Wind (1939), Casablanca (1942), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1957), and soooooooo much more. Christiana tells us about how patriarch George Westmore established the first Hollywood hair and makeup department in 1917, the talent of his descendants (amounting to four generations of family artists!), and the impact this family had on not just the world of special effects, but how the general public could embrace their own beauty. We are so honored to share the story of their legacy with you!

A Night to Remember (1958): We are recognizing the 110th anniversary of the Titanic tragedy that occurred in 1912.

We discuss not only elements of the movie, but the real events that took place on that devastating April night. Although this story is heartbreaking, it also features enormous stories of courage and compassion in the face of adversity.
