On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are improving the lives of others in mischievous ways. We watched the 2001 film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Amélie.

Ah, what must it be like to be young, in love, and in Paris? If, like me, you’ve ever wondered life could be like, then Amélie is here to answer that question for you. Much like the charming character herself!

We’ve got a bona-fide classic here, folks. One of the sweetest movies ever made. It’s on our lists of best movies ever made. Is it on yours, too?

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are growing up surrounded by the magic of the movies. We watched the 1988 film from Giuseppe Tornatore, Cinema Paradiso.

During most of this film, I’m way older than Totò. But that doesn’t mean I can’t aspire to be just like that too-clever, rambunctious kid when I grow up. Young Totò is the hero we can all aspire to be, minus the accidentally setting a house on fire.

So calling all film lovers, not only is this a movie designed to grab you by your creative souls, it also features one of the great characters. We could all aspire to be more like our dear Totò.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are sweating rivers down our backsides in this heat! We watched the 1962 film from David Lean, Lawrence of Arabia.

What a storied life this T.E. Lawrence guy had! Get a load of this: he once walked 1,100 miles in three months across Middle East mountains and deserts, he was only about 5’5” tall, and he designed a set of stamps for the Grand Sharif of Mecca (where are my philatelists at?).

Oh, and there’s all the other stuff depicted in this film, but you knew about that stuff anyway, right? If not, then give this classic a watch before enjoying this week’s episode.
