I Love Old Movies

We are back! After a bit of a longer hiatus than we ever imagined, we are back with our first new episode of 2023! This time, we are taking a look at an oft-requested film, 1934's "March of the Wooden Soldiers", or "Babes in Toyland" starring the legendary film comedy team, Laurel and Hardy.

Down to the road block, we've just begun. The guards are through. The Major's men are on a spree. Major and Wladislaw go through the door. Pinkley stays out in the drive. The Major gives the rope a fix. Wladislaw throws the hook to heaven. Jiminez has got a date. The other guys go up the line. Sawyer and Gilpin are in the pen. Posey guards Points Five and Seven. Wladislaw and the Major go down to delve. Franko goes up without being seen. Zero Hour: Jiminez cuts the cable; Franko cuts the phone. Franko goes in where the others have been. We all come out like it's Halloween. Oh yeah, we're doing THE DIRTY DOZEN!!!! ===== Check us out on the socials!

It's November, and that's when we like to take a look at war films. This time around, we look at one of (if not the) greatest prisoner of war film ever, The Great Escape. This is a film that holds a special place in Sam's heart, and is the sort of film we could talk about for hours. Both as a film, and an historical event, this tale is truly one for the ages!

So, have you ever thought about which film was THE one, that made you a fan? Sam and Derek sure have, and for Sam...this just might be the culprit! Part comedy, part horror, this greatest of the "Monster Rally" films set the standard for merging the two genres that we now know go together so well! Have a listen and let us know what you thing about this incredible film! ===== Check us out on the socials!

Obviously, words like "...the most important film in the history of horror cinema" get thrown around all willy-nilly these days...but I ask you, if this film doesn't qualify for such praise, which one possibly could? We take an affectionate look at one of Sam's favourite films, and Derek's favourite vampire film, as we embrace spooky season with a watch of Nosferatu (1922). Have a listen and let us know what you think! Also, it's Sam's birthday! Give her a shout out for her 18th!

Ok, so maybe we still have a bit more Davy Crockett to cover. And when that means we get to take a look at a John Wayne film, specifically an historical EPIC, directed by The Duke....well, how can we resist? John Wayne is one of Sam's favourites, so you know she's bringing her A-Level enthusiasm for this one! But is this film the masterpiece that John Wayne intended? Or is it a failed film from a woefully inexperienced director whose reach exceeded his grasp? Have a listen and hear what we thought! --- And, as always, check out our pals at petrockradio.ca!

When three hugely popular episodes of Walt Disney's Disneyland TV show were spliced together to create a film for cinematic release, one wonders if anyone thought this would be too much Davy Crockett. Well, as it turns out, in 1955, there was no such thing as Davy Crockett! A mythical character, brought perfectly to life by Fess Parker, Davy was the quintessential post-war, pre-Elvis hero! But how does this film hold up today? And more importantly, do we recommend a watch on this one? Have a listen and hear what we thought! --- Check us (and more) out at www.petrockradio.ca!

Happy September everyone! We welcome the school year back with a new episode, this time looking at something fun! Buck Privates was only the second film Abbott and Costello appeared in, but it was their first true "starring" vehicle for the duo. This movie brings the laughs as well as some incredible music numbers by The Andrews Sisters! This film is a comedy classic...but is its reputation earned? Or is it's reputation better than the on screen results? Have a listen and hear what we thought!

Derek and Sam start their second year with a bang!!! A recent family trip has led to a moment of inspiration, that has the gang covering the 1951 classic, The African Queen. Yeah, maybe we ride the Bogart-Huston collaboration pretty hard on this show, but man...could these two work together or what?  Have a listen, hear what we thought, and give us a shout! --- Be sure to check out www.petrockradio.ca for great music, awesome hosts, and previous episodes of our show!

It's our 1 year anniversary show! And to celebrate, we are taking a special look at one of Derek and Sam's most mutually beloved films....1949's The Third Man! The enthusiasm is palpable in this one! Have a listen, wish us a happy birthday, and let us know what you thought about our take on this fantastic masterpiece of a film!
