| 0:00.0 | The New Beverly Cinema presents the Pure Cinema podcast. My name is Brian Sauer, and it is 2026, and I am talking to my good friend, Mr. Albert Kane, again, about some new things. |
| 0:22.7 | Is it 2026, Brian, or is this some sort of false reality of podcasting of the future? |
| 0:30.8 | Yes, we... |
| 0:32.0 | The only hesitation I have with these is because we put them out in early January. |
| 0:35.9 | I like to start my year with a certain kind of viewing and that's what these episodes, |
| 0:40.0 | this episode is, but it's, it feels wrong because I'm watching them before the year, you know? |

| 1:20.3 | So new to us, new year. |
| 1:22.4 | That's what I like for our January spot when we can remember do it. |
| 1:26.2 | And I have always tried to put in this spot |
| 1:29.7 | things that people have recommended to me |
| 1:31.8 | that I am never going to watch otherwise |
| 1:33.6 | because I'm terrible at that, |
| 1:35.1 | or classics that I just haven't been getting around to. |
| 1:38.4 | That tends to be, or things that I've missed, |
| 1:41.0 | that tends to be how I try to approach this particular one. |
| 1:44.9 | Yeah, I mean, |
