The year is 1934. A girl meets a guy. A girl marries a guy. Her dad makes her leave the guy.

Girl runs away. Girl meets another guy. The movie? It happened one night.

Hello everybody and welcome to Unspooled. I'm Amy Nicholson. And I am Paul Sheer and this is the podcast for each week. We watch one film from the AFI top 100 list of the best films of the world.

The movie is a great song. I'm Paul Sheer and this is the podcast for each week. We watch one film from the AFI top 100 list of the best films of all time in 2007.

To see if they are as good as people say. Do they hold up and how have the influence the films we watch today.

On this episode we will be talking about it happened one night. Before we get into that we are going to go back and talk a little bit about Charlie Chaplin's modern times which people really just love.

But I just want to remind people that you can always visit us online at our T-Pubble store where we have amazingly cool fun shirts, one raising money for small independent theaters.

You go to T-Pubble.com slash stores slash unspooled and you can even head over to Podgewag to get this amazing unspooled poster that basically tracks your whole journey along with this show for our 100 films on the AFI list.

I love this poster designed by Scott C and we are kind of coming to the end here Amy. So this is your last chance to get this up in your collection and watch along with us.

So you know last time to plug this amazing poster.

Paul I cannot believe it is the end of the road. We have made it to the year 2020 so much has happened.

And actually while we're plugging things I have a new episode of Zoom coming out that is very about 2020. It is about Hollywood and politics specifically about how Hollywood has been influencing elections since the 1920s.

This back and forth from the classic studio moguls getting invested in politics and then this idea of politicians as celebrities and how Hollywood has evolved how we think of political candidates.

It is really really really really really interesting stuff that I love diving into. So if you're curious about it check out my new episode of Zoom it will be out this week.

I also want to plug something that I have nothing to do with. It is an amazing documentary that just popped up on Netflix. It is called Disclosure.

A great documentary about the history of trans people in film. It really blew my mind and film in TV I should say it is really really well done.

It is on Netflix right now and I think if you like film history you will love it. And I think it is some super important documentary really really good.

And there is one thing that I am involved with that I will also plug which is the last episode of my show they did for Marvel which is called the world's greatest book club with Paul Sheer you can go find it on the Marvel page on YouTube where I interview people about their favorite comic books if you're comic reader great if you're not fine.

But we are also supporting local small comic book shops in this week we just something really special we actually talk to a comic book owner in Minneapolis about his store post COVID and just kind of got an inside look of what's going on there and trying to help his go fund me so definitely check that out you can type in Paul sheer Jason man Zuckus Marvel into Google and that will probably pop up because Jason is the guest this week so that's that an Amy my question to you right now simply is modern.

Modern times do people want it on the list or not.

Oh do they ever I will start by reading a comment from our buddy shake case he says you know the thing that blew me away about this movie was how well modern it seemed it's a silent film but Chaplin uses so many inventive techniques to trick you into thinking it's not.

And out of all of his leading ladies Paulic got her place a character in such a way that you could easily drop her into a more recent film and not bad and I she so far ahead of her time in this and is totally magnetic almost steals the movie away from Chaplin easy yes vote and that is not easy to do steal a film away from Chaplin.
