All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

Hold on to your helmets, listeners, because the illustrious Julia
Teti is back on the Cinemaholics feed! And not a moment too soon,
because the two of us are joined by the scintillating Will Ashton
to make Extra Milestone history by tackling our second Best
Picture Winner, our second 1930s Film, and our first War (and
Anti-War) Film with Lewis Milestone’s All Quiet on the Western
Front! Celebrating 90 years this past April, the film has built a
deserved legacy of being one of the most effective condemnations
of combat and warfare in cinema history, and the three of us have
plenty to say to support that. The film’s storied production, its
unique and controversial release, its eternal relevancy, and much
more are discussed, and we even take the time to recommend some
complementary films! You’re not gonna want to miss this one.


NEXT WEEK: Emily Kubincanek is
back to discuss a trio of iconic Horror Films with me! Tune in to
hear us discuss Bride of Frankenstein, Friday the
13th, and Re-Animator!


Music in this episode: Re-release trailer
for the film and audio from the final scene (don’t worry, no
spoilers here).
