    Writer/Producer/Cinema Paradiso superfan Stacy Traub (Black-ish/The Real O'Neals) makes her first appearance on the Patreon feed to discuss the Academy Award winning Italian drama CINEMA PARADISO.Having never seen the film before, Kenny offers a fresh take on the failures of the project. Stacy shares how the three hour directors cut almost ruined the entire movie for her. Phil leads a round table discussion on how movie theaters will evolve in a post pandemic world, and what we all consider to be the perfect movie theater experience. And, of course, we discuss how this gentle foreign film ended up as a highly regarded, mainstream classic here in America, the legendary execution of the ending, and the ways in which the central message of theaters losing out to television is still a hot topic today.Find Stacy at: twitter.com/stoocytroobPodcast Like It's 1999: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-like-its-1999Twitter: twitter.com/podcastlike1999Instagram: instagram.com/podcastlike1999Reddit: reddit.com/r/podcastlikeits

  • 1989: Always with David Iserson

    02:21:18
    David Iserson joins us to talk about the second big miss of Steven Spielberg's career, the critically panned romantic drama Always.Get ready for two hours of Richard Dreyfuss dunking, as we try to figure out what went so wrong in the creation of this tepid remake. Would Always have been a classic with a more charming actor in the lead role? We talk about what this movie could have been if Spielberg were able to cast his first choices, what we think works about the concept and script, and where we think it went so, horrifically wrong (Hint, it's mostly Dreyfuss).Stay until the end to hear our Spielberg top tens!
