  • The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
    2024/10/31

    Boo! We have a special Halloween bonus treat for you, Old Soul family! 🎃 Join in our midnight jamboree and prepare to be spooked as we revisit Disney's animated classic "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" from the feature The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949). We curl up to the chilling tale of Ichabod Crane (who isn't the poor, nice guy everyone thinks he is...) as he woos heiress Katrina Van Tassel, competes for her affections with the brawny Brom Bones, and tries to elude the cursed Headless Horseman- a malevolent spirit seeking out a top to chop 👀 With the autumnal atmosphere and Bing Crosby's silky storytelling, we think this is the perfect October 31st watch. We uncover hidden details and discuss the enduring legacy of this spooky underrated masterpiece.

    So when you're riding home tonight

    Make for the bridge with all your might

    He'll be down in the hollow there

    He needs your head, look out, beware

    With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop'
    He's out looking for a head to swap

    So don't try to figure out a plan

    You can't reason with a headless man...

  • Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) with Christiana Benson
    2024/09/28

    Happy Autumn! We are ready for all things creepy, kooky, thrilling, and chilling this season...and what better way to kick it off than covering a horror story classic: Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! For this special episode, we are joined by Westmore family historian and great granddaughter of Ern Westmore: Christiana Benson. Christiana walks us through the techniques Wally Westmore used in special effects makeup to transform goodhearted doctor Dr. Jekyll into his evil persona Mr. Hyde. Once a heavily guarded cinema secret, we uncover all innovative artistry that made this look one of the most referenced of all time for this iconic character. We dissect our favorite scenes, brilliant acting by Fredric March and fellow cast members, and deeper meanings of this allegorical tale.

  • Bringing Up Baby (1938)
    2024/05/12

    It’s the mother of all screwball comedies…that’s right, we’re covering Bringing Up Baby (1938)! In celebration of Katharine Hepburn’s 117th birthday, we cover this classic romantic funny flick starring fabulous leading lady Katharine and one-of-a-kind leading man Cary Grant. With our guest host Colin Campbell, we break down the art of the screwball comedy and walk through our favorite laugh-out-loud scenes of this tale about a flighty heiress roping in a high-strung paleontologist to care for her pet leopard, Baby, while he attempts to secure a $1 million donation for his museum from her rich aunt. This beloved Howard Hawks film has inspired endless films through today and we are thrilled to finally give it its chance to shine!

    Huge special thank you again to Colin for sharing your wonderful insights! Can’t wait to have you on again :)

We take a journey through Godzilla's evolution from the Showa era, to the 1980s revival, through the Japanese and American convergences of his portrayal through today. You won't believe how intricate this icon's history is! Tune into this masterclass to learn everything you've ever wanted to know about your favorite kaiju.

  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
    2024/04/09

    Happy Spring! What better way to kick off a new season of Old Soul than by covering one of the most beloved children's movies of all time? That's right, we're hopping aboard our fine, four-fendered friend to a magical world of zany inventions, storytelling, and Vulgarian oddities. Caractacus Potts (although we do get wild with variations of his name pronunciation lol) is a down-on-his-luck single father of two little ones who become enamored with a retired (and quite broken down) champion race car. With the help of candy heiress Truly Scrumptious, this family finds fun and adventure in hopping between reality and dreams. We loved getting into the background of this wondrous tale (did you know it has ties to James Bond??) and what the landscape of movie musicals looked like in this era of Old Hollywood. Tune in to join us for the ride of a lifetime!
