E6: "An American in Paris" (1951)

Sound! Color! the 50's never felt so right! Matt and Bob talk "An American in Paris," the 1951 Best Picture winner starring the iconic Gene Kelly in a charming (or is it creepy?) role. Bob and Matt plan their sequel podcast, scheduled for release in 2030, and begin discussing the importance of addressing a constantly shifting moral zeitgeist as it relates to the actions of characters in older movies. Bob questions the motives of Kelly's Jerry Mulligan and Matt points out the similarities between this movie and the last two pictures discussed on the show. Bob talks movie theater bathroom break/snack refill strategy and why he avoids using voiceover narration in all of his short films. Matt gives a brief history of Technicolor and lists AFI's Top 5 Musicals of All Time. All that and more!
