Podcasts for Classic Film Fans: April Round-up

April 5, 2021 

Interesting conversation about Ava Gardner with TCM designer/Ava Gardner Museum volunteer Lora Stocker. I went into the episode knowing a lot about Gardner, but I felt like I understood her better after listening to this.

Lions, Towers & Shields 
March 13, 2021 

I loved this episode about Warren William, my favorite Pre-Code cad, and one of his best films The Mind Reader (1933).


Pure Cinema Podcast 
March 21, 2021 

Great concept: rather than focusing on a single genre, in this episode hosts Brian and Elric make recommendations from a variety of popular classic Italian film types, including Giallos, Westerns, and Poliziotteschi. I watched a few of the titles they suggested and loved every one of them.

He has so many stories about Old Hollywood stars; the best by far was his memories of Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, and Olivia deHaviland on the set of Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964). He really dishes.
