Episode 1 (Aired March 16, 2009): The Inaugural Show
Hosts: Dave Poinsett and Beth Milligan
Guests: Award-winning filmmaker John Walter ("Theater of War," "How to Draw a Bunny") and local film critic Tracy Kurtz (92.9 FM The Breeze)
Films/Topics Covered: "Frost/Nixon," "Jacquot de Nantes," "A Day at the Races," "An American Tail," "Witness to War," Metropolitan Opera HD broadcasts of "Madama Butterfly" and "La Sonnambula"
The episode in which John showcases his encyclopedic knowledge of cinema, Dave explains why "Frost/Nixon" made him cry, Tracy waxes poetic on "An American Tail" and Beth seemingly suggests Hitler wasn't such a bad guy.
Corrections: In this episode, we also learn Beth is bad with dates. "A Day at the Races" was released in 1937, not 1931, and "Revolutionary Road" was published in 1961, not 1962. Time to get a fact-checker…
