The year is 1959 and Mr. Lincoln you got something hanging from your nose. Oh, it's a man and a damn attractive suit the movie north by Northwest

West.

Hey everybody, welcome to unspooled I am Paul Sheer Amy Nicholson is still away at the Toronto Film Festival

She will be joining me in just a bit to talk about north by Northwest which is today's film but this is the podcast where every week we look at a classic film on the AFI's top 100 list

We determined if it's worth watching does it still hold up and how is it influenced the filmmakers of today our film today is north by Northwest

We are going to be talking about that in just a little bit but let's go back to last week's episode on the waterfront to hear what you had to say about that

Before we get into that though want to remind you that we are doing a show live here in Los Angeles at the Alamo Drafthouse are a monthly show this one is celebrating Beatles

Beatles in film it's the 50th anniversary of Avy Road and what better way to celebrate the Beatles than to see how they've affected film

And we're going to be approaching that in a couple different ways should a hard days night be on the list what do you think are there other

performances it should be on the list other Beatles films anyway come on out to the Alamo Drafthouse that's in downtown LA on September 26

There are only a handful of seats left but just go to the Alamo website or get the Alamo app and come and see us by the way a little tip for you

If it looks like the only seats available are handicapped bros you can get those seats if every other seat is taken that is a rule that the Alamo has so there you go

And big thank you to Carly Severin who wrote this amazing piece about how did this get made me and unspooled for KQED it was a great piece that we got to speak a lot about

Films we love and of course my amazing co-host Amy Nicholson who is just the best she's the bees knees and I could speak about her all day long anyway

People let's speak about on the waterfront Douglas Haier writes as a counterpoint on the waterfront I would recommend seeing Rafifi a 1955 French heist film directed by blacklisted director

Jules DeSan there's a scene that shows what the song thinks of those who name names who I like it I don't know what that means I have sure it's bad I picture it as being almost like that scene in Cassino Rao with James Bond where they're kind of hitting him from below the seat on his balls that's what I kind of that's what I'm thinking anyway Rick Jones writes I dreamed as at a bar where people kept on asking me trivia questions about Peter O'Toole no he never won an Oscar then I woke up and I realized I was listening to unspooled well that's great

I'm glad that we've affected your dreams and giving you panic about or not panic

I guess you were winning that trivia contest so good on you JB Dalright's got a little terriide on the train this morning listening to the I could have been a

Contender scene can I just say brando definitely deserve that Oscar solely on the basis of being able to make the line a

One-way ticket to Polucaville totally devastating, you know, I

Absolutely agree with you like we talked about this last week. It's one of those rare films where it's been parodied so much that you felt like

By the time you get to that scene it would have no weight, but it had so much weight
