This week, we dive into Billy Wilder for a walk along Sunset Boulevard! William Holden and Gloria Swanson guide us through a wonderfully cynical look at Hollywood. We go down the meta rabbit hole as we discuss the casting on this film. We also spend far too much time talking about the horrible musical that was inspired by the film. Accept no substitutes!
Our next episode, on April 15th, will be about the 2014 Academy Award Winner for Best Picture: 12 Years a Slave!
