This week, Jeff gripes about AMC A-List reservations and what they can learn from bars and airlines before the boys discuss the incredible 1939 film year, leading to our featured conversation about the nostalgic British boarding school film ‘Goodbye, Mr. Chips’. Directed by staunch anti-commie Sam Wood, this movie stars Robert Donat in an Oscar-winning role, and Greer Garson in her first-ever film, and the first of her 5 consecutive years with Best Actress nominations, tied for the most ever with Bette Davis. This movie may not have the name recognition of some other 1939 films, such as ‘Gone With The Wind’, ‘The Wizard of Oz’, ‘Mr. Smith Goes To Washington’, or ‘Stagecoach’, but it may have inspired every boarding school movie you’ve ever seen, especially the ‘Harry Potter’ series! We provide some additional 1939 context and tease next week’s episode. Our phone number is 646-484-9298, it accepts texts or voice messages.
