Episode Description from the Publisher

For our ninety-ninth episode, we’re joined once again by friend of the show Hunter Robinson (“Tumbleweeds and TV Cowboys” podcast) for a discussion of the late great Roger Ebert’s commentary on the ultimate classic movie: “Casablanca”. Among the things discussed: debunking myths regarding the ending, how George Raft turned down every good role ever, shattering the auteur theory, the authors of the greatest lines in the film, historic backlots, Great Movie Ride conspiracy theories, and so much more. Ryan’s Recommendations: “The Train” (1964), “Picnic at Hanging Rock” (1975), and “Network” (1976) For 500 hours of exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Our network: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
