You're Missing Out: A National Film Registry Podcast

In the Season 5 finale, Mike, Tom, and Kyle take on Point of Order (1964), Emile de Antonio's radical documentary assembled entirely from kinescope footage of the Army-McCarthy hearings. No narration. No talking heads. Just the hearings themselves and McCarthy slowly unraveling on camera. We dig into what makes this a film and not just a historical record, why de Antonio's editing choices still feel dangerous, and what the Library of Congress recognized when they added it to the National Film Registry. 

Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". In each episode, Mike Natale (Yahoo!) and Tom Lorenzo (Men's Journal) bring on a special guest to take a look at one of the films from the registry, to get to the heart of why these films matter. 🎬 Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@YMOPodcast/videos 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youre-missing-out-a-national-film-registry-podcast/id1259425519

Sweet Smell of Success (1957) is one of the most visually ruthless films Hollywood ever made — and one that doesn't show up in the conversation as often as it should. We dig into James Wong Howe's New York City cinematography, the Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis dynamic, and what the Library of Congress saw in it when they added it to the National Film Registry.

Our annual tradition kicks off once more, despite delays from both us and the Library of Congress (thanks government shutdowns). Once again, Mike & Tom went in blind, avoiding finding out what got in this year until Kyle revealed it to them live on air. Hear the boys react to a slate of six underseen silent films and then...well, the shelf at a Blockbuster Video in 2003. Enjoy!
