Sean Fennessey on UNFAITHFULLY YOURS

This week on Old Movies, it's the lord of Letterboxd himself, Sean Fennessey: host of The Big Picture, Head of Content at The Ringer, key contributor to The Rewatchables, and close personal friend of Steven Spielberg. Sean comes to the pod to talk about Preston Sturges' wickedly funny (and surprisingly violent) black comedy UNFAITHFULLY YOURS, and we discuss the film's journey from scandal-stricken flop to perhaps the Sturges film that might work best for modern audiences. Along the way we find time to talk about the state of the movie industry, the parasocial power of podcasts, the constant conflict between wanting to watch new films and seek comfort in old movies, Sean’s ludicrous plans to stream Death Stranding and Elden Ring, a quick physical media check-in, and much more besides. Also, Old Movies now has a Patreon page!
