The Shop Around the Corner

The time has come, dear hearts! We’re about to embark on an
amazing journey that’s years in the making, but we have to start
with the original, 1940’s The Shop Around The Corner. We talk
about how Jimmy Stewart continues to be the best, the wildly dark
turn of the subplot, and the number of times the word Matuschek
is spoken (hint: a ton). Smoke candy and listen to cigarettes
with us, whether in Budapest or your favorite Midwest city.
