The New Beverly Cinema presents the Pure Cinema Podcast.

My name's Brian Sauer, and I am joined by my old-timey friend, Mr. Elric Kane.

How you doing, sir?

I am. I am Three-Strip Elric. The birth of Three-Strip El-Ework. Yeah, no, Mr. Elric Kane. How you doing, sir? I am. I am three-strip, Elric.

The birth of three-strip El-work. Yeah, no, look, this episode will really date how long we've

been doing the show, because people might not notice anymore that we have seasons, but because

it might just seem like it's everlasting and year by year. But in my brain, there's always

been every year as a season. It always has just worked that way in my mind at least. And so every

year we have done a, what we called initially like, you know, cult movies of or undiscovered gems or

whatever the case may be per year starting in the, I assume we did

the 20, did we just do the 2000s first or did we do the 2010s? I think we did 2010s. I can't remember

now. I know we did 2,000s, but I cannot remember if we did 20s. I think we probably did do

2010s and worked our way back. I could be wrong, But that means that we are, every year we have done one of these,

you know, 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s last year. And we are now at the 1940s. And that just tells

you how many years we have been doing the show, which is pretty remarkable. And always one of my

favorites of the episodes we do because, you know, we started out doing maybe like

10 films for some of these because it was so big. And I think we got, you know, we're kind of

getting a little bit more focused in as we get to these more. I feel like a lot of the bigger movies

are very well known from some of the 40s and 50s. And so sometimes they'll come up. Sometimes we'll get some gems, but it's definitely a mixture.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And we've covered various 40s films throughout the history of the show.
