There is an old proverb which says, don't try to do two things at once and expect to do

justice to both. This is the story of a podcast who tried it. See, our guest had just said

that. He did that as a mic check. Yeah. And he did better than you. We are trying to do two

things at once in this episode, two different movies. Two movies. Isn't it fun to do a series

of double features like this? It's honestly, it's a little, I mean, not the movies are short

of, but it is more homework. I do feel that because I want to think about the movies. Yes.

But I also have to, you know, have to set them up and knock them down. Yeah. And I find

there's usually one, you know what's interesting? In most of these double features and the

pairings aren't arbitrary, but they're just chronological, right? It's two at a time

in order. In most of them, there's one that I think ends up in our conversation looming

larger, feeling like the more important one to talk about. The other one is sort of the

backup feature, whether it's first or second in the order. But when you dig into the history

of this, the one that looms larger now tends to be the one that kind of flopped at the

time. Yes. And the one that is one that we've forgotten was like a solid hit. Right.

Yes. That is true. Because today we're talking about two movies that are, in my opinion,

his crowning achievement as a filmmaker. You're talking Sherlock Jr. I think is not only

his best film, but I think is one of the best films ever made. Absolutely. And then the

second film we're talking about, the navigator was foreign away the most successful film of his

career. And, you know, it's got a lot of great bits on the boat. And it's not forgotten

today. But like no one is putting that up at general Sherlock Jr. level. I would argue.

I think we're, you know, it's like the next three weeks we're doing Sherlock Jr. navigator.
