We pay tribute to the recently deceased Peter Bogdanovich, considering his work both as a filmmaker and a cinephile by exploring his list of the best American films of 1939 (the year of his birth). We’re joined by Bill Teck, the director of One Day Since Yesterday, a loving celebration of Bogdanovich’s They All Laughed - a box office & critical failure only now being rediscovered in no smart part because of Teck’s documentary.

Bogdanovich's list includes screwball comedies, adventure films, melodramas, westerns, movies that (most importantly to Bogdanovich) express the personalities & emotions of their directors. The trio connects these films to Bogdanovich’s life and work, Teck’s experiences with the man himself & a discussion of the cruelty of Bogdanovich’s critical burial and deserving resurrection. The episode includes a healthy “fuck you” to Hal Needham.
