I had the best time talking about my absolute favorite films from 1940 (including some beloved screwball comedies) on A Very Good Year. Any day with some Ralph Bellamy appreciation is a good one for me!

Hey @jasondashbailey.bsky.social & @fifthcolumnfilms.bsky.social—I’ve so enjoyed the 1st run of #AVeryGoodYear podcast…can’t believe y’all are pausing 2wks after I shouted it out during Endorsements on the Slate #CultureGabfest: slate.com/podcasts/cul...

Anyway vaya con dios—look fwd to the return!

I feel like the Tamarians might have a new phrase in their language.

"Karen Wheeler, with her wine bottle broken."

We eliminated the paid subscription tier; you should've seen a pro-rated refund if you had done the year-in-advance thing (it would've paid from Stripe, IIRC). Let me know if you didn't.

Otherwise, it's on your podcatcher of choice, and show notes are on buttondown (buttondown.email/AVeryGoodYear)
