Joe watches too many movies. He grew up in central Washington, earned his B.A. in Education and Fine Art, an M.A. in Theology and currently works in the printing industry. During school, he fit in a few film classes. He is interested in writing, theology and hopes to one day compose the ultimate Joe Versus the Volcano commentary track.
Melissa has a B.A. in History and an M.A. in English with an emphasis on Film Studies. She has taken classes on everything from silent to romance to post-colonial films and much in between. Her research and interests lie mainly in feminist film theory, women in film, Hitchcock and the studio era. At the end of the day, however, she just loves films; from Notorious to Die Hard!

Tue, 20 February 2007  Comedy is hard work - just ask Mel Brooks. In his career, he's managed to place 3 films on the AFI top 100 list, while turning flatulence into an art form. On this episode, we spend some time with a name that's become synonymous with parody and slapstick. Join us as we run Mr. Brooks's films through our Ten Quiz, discuss his essential works and review his homage to Hitchcock. (Correction: when discussing "Best Picture" Joe continually referred to Gene Wilder rather than Gene Hackman. It makes more sense to say, "...and if you missed Gene HACKMAN....")

Mon, 5 February 2007  Perhaps there never was a time when "men were men..." but there was a place. In this episode of WTD, we turn the focus onto one of the legendary names of the Hollywood picture. Howard Hawks perfected the screwball comedy, made Marilyn glow, gave John Wayne machismo and still had time for Bogart and Bacall. Join us for a 10 Quiz, the letterbox, a look at Hawks's essential films. Plus, we shake things up a bit and include the 5 Minute Filmography, a new section we introduced in episode 16. (Note: this show runs a bit long - 1:18. Just imagine if we tried to cover his whole career).
