Hannah appeared outside the window. Julie and Scott invite her in (after checking for knives) to offer tips on horror movie survival. Like not dropping weapons when you think its over. How to get out of the house when you think its over. And that its never really over, especially when you think its over.
Julie and Scott do not feel they should be held responsible for the content of this podcast. The salt they found not only turned everything an odd color, but also turned them into the evil Juanita and Cesar. At this point, no one is sure who said what about The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde.
Scott has found a perfect location for a Den of Dissolutes in downtown Paris, but he can't understand why Julie is building a barricade outside. Not a chair left in the place! So they have to stand while discussing Les Miserables (2012), directed by Tom Hooper.
Prayer for Offering Up Suffering
Dear Lord,
I offer you (whatever your concern or problem here)
For the conversion of sinners
For the forgiveness of sins
In reparation for sins and
For the salvation of souls.
Amen.
Julie and Scott spend three years watching Ben Hur and they don't regret a moment of it. Episode 115, Ben Hur (1959) directed by William Wyler, who directed lots of things that were nothing like this.
Rose's answers to Scott's editing questions:
Question 1: Editing was looked on more as a craft back in the Ben-Hur days than as an artistic field as it is today. She wasn't positive but thought that directors then would see the cuts (and sometimes reshoot parts as a result to get what they wanted) but they weren't "over-the-shoulder" the way directors are today. Perhaps the studio wanted to ensure that Wyler did an "over-the-shoulder" supervision. Especially with that much cash at stake.
Question 2: The problem with asking about "best edited" film is that there are a lot of different editing styles, so first you'd have to settle what style. There is "seamless" which means you never notice the editing at all. There is the sort that uses lots of jump cuts. And so forth. So she had no definitive answer.
Julie and Scott spend some time with a couple of saints, a guy named Augustine, a very untidy kitchen, and Simon of Legree. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe is the subject of Episode 114!
Julie and Scott have a lot of very important things to do, but instead of doing those things, they are going to find out who ate the strawberries. They are absolutely sure that one of you people has a key to the refrigerator. Episode 112, The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk.
Julie and Scott had this great idea for a TV show where they argue about movies every week... and then realize that Roger Ebert already had that idea. They spend an hour talking about him instead. Episode 111, Life Itself: a documentary about Roger Ebert.
