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. What's your favorite interpretation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Do you have any must-watches this fall? Reach out and let us know at @oldsoulmoviepodcast on Instagram!

Summer is here and so are summer blockbusters! Hold on to your potatoes, because on this very special episode, we are joined by "Top Man" Brian Cummins. We discuss the landmark adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and how the heroic cinema icon of Indiana Jones shaped the action genre. We go in-depth on our favorite scenes, characters, and details of the first film in the franchise as well as our snapshot takes on the subsequent FOUR films in the series. Indy is truly a one-of-a-kind hero and we couldn't be more thrilled to shine a spotlight on him. Do you have a favorite Indiana Jones film? Hot takes? Hopes and dreams to see more of Short Round? Let us know in the comments!

Special thanks to the brilliant Brian Cummins for making a guest appearance and sharing his expertise!

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 :)
