Ep. 32: ‘The Apartment (1960)’ or ‘F**k You, Sheldrake’
About this episode
Zach welcomes back the one and only Adam Jewell to return to the Wild World of Wilder with a look inside the goings on in 1960’s ‘The Apartment’.
Listen in as the boys discuss the origin of the films creation and its connection to real life events, breakdown and analyze each performance within the context of its era and where that falls into today’s understanding, revel in the superb production design, how the film masterfully transitions from moments of humor to moments of drama, and discover for themselves how the film stands in the legacy of the Romantic Genre and the Comedy genre.
But even amidst the serious discussions, theres still plenty of levity to be had as the guys repeatedly reference The Simpsons to their own amusement and take a jab or two at the production code.
Plus: Adam unveils his grand theory regarding the connected cinematic universe of Fred MacMurray.
