In our episode there's discussion of how GREYHOUND could be seen as a prequel to CAINE MUTINY, with Hanks portraying Captain Queeg, serving honorably and competently before he lost his marbles.

In GREYHOUND (2020 D. Aaron Schneider) a Navy commander leads an Allied convoy across the Atlantic, dogged by German U-boats. Noted WWII-head Tom Hanks penned the screenplay adaptation and plays the lead role. Here's our discussion. #YabtM 🎥 #CineMastodon #film #movies #monly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy4yADlUMB8

Oldtimers in #SantaRosa lament the loss of the old library, and it *was* fantastic (you get a great look at it in SHADOW OF A DOUBT) but I also love the 1967 replacement. It's easy to miss as it's fairly low-slung and dominated by trees, but there are some very cool #midmod details. #architecture

In the classic WWII Naval saga THE CAINE MUTINY (1954, D. Edward Dmytryk) Humphrey Bogart plays a ship captain who's brittle, insecure, and disliked by his crew—but the film has more nuance than to make him an outright villain. We discuss. #YabtM 🎥 #CineMastodon #film #movies https://www.youtube.
