Powell
🚨BONUS EPISODE🚨 "Michael asked me to put on his gravestone 'Film director and optimist.'" Thelma Schoonmaker explains how her husband, and acclaimed filmmaker, Michael Powell loved life and used that in his storytelling.
We're still in shock we got to sit down with Thelma and not only discuss the Archers but her work with Martin Scorsese (for which she is far too humble)!
You can listen to our interview with Schoonmaker and MADE IN ENGLAND director Michael Hinton wherever you get podcasts!

Louise Brooks
Louise Brooks scandalized Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s with her modernity (and her Hollywood memoirs spilling all the tea at the time). Her 1929 performance in PANDORA'S BOX is a wonder and highlights that silent performers weren't all over the top. You can listen to our entire episode on the German silent film as part our International Month on all podcast apps now.
Meet Joe Black
Is this month's episode of Doubled Features the worst remake we've discussed? It's so bad our sneak peek is just us being shocked right at the opening!
Remember the 1998 movie Meet Joe Black? No, good for you! It's a remake of 1934's Death Takes a Holiday which is also an acquired taste of a film. We discuss both this week and answer the immortal question: "Which one do we hope we never have to see again?" Listen now exclusively on Patreon.
