As you MUST know by now we are retiring A Very Good Year after 2 very good years of the show and over 100 episodes (if you count the bonuses, and why not?). There will be an all new show starting in 2025 with an incredible guest list, tons of great movies, and a bunch of new bonus features available.
But before we do that we're looking back on A Very Good Year with some highlight shows. This week it's the 1960s with director Alexandre Phillipe, writer Larry Karaszewski, authors Stephen Farber and Michael McLellan, MST3k's Frank Conniff, TV host and historian Ben Mankiewicz, critic Robert Daniels, professor Charles Taylor, author Mark Harris, programmer Millie de Chirico, critic David Fear, and author Willow Catelyn Maclay.
Thank you for listening!

After 2 years and 100 episodes we're retiring A Very Good Year and coming back in 2025 with a whole new show. In the meantime we're looking back at some of our favorite guests and favorite movies, by decade.
In this episode we're looking at a decade that some people consider a dead zone: the 1950s. As you'll hear it was a great decade for movies. Ever heard of a guy named Hitchcock? I rest my case.
Featuring the talents of Sheila O'Malley, Glenn Kenny, James Urbaniak, Beatrice Loayza, Aisha Harris, and one of the best to ever do it, Mr. Phillip Lopate.
Thank you for listening!
