The Night of the Hunter (1955), AirPlane! (1980)

Sam Noland is back on Extra Milestone after a week's respite to
take on, along with friend and coworker Robert Wilkinson, two
radically different classics. First up is Charles Laughton's
gothic thriller The Night of the Hunter, which stars Robert
Mitchum as a psychopathic priest hunting down two children during
the Great Depression. Next up on our itinerary is the landmark
spoof comedy Airplane!, the laugh-a-minute lampooning of pop
cinema celebrating 40 years of making the world howl with
laughter.


SHOW NOTES:


00:05:00 - The Night of the Hunter
