Vintage Century Idle Hour
Hi, there. Jennifer here. This show is about old movies and stuff. It's the cure insomniacs have been begging for, and the virtual companion for those who are really bored at work. Take it from my mom: "This is incontrovertibly the best podcast the world has ever known."

It Happened One Night and Was Better Than Expected
This is the 14th episode of the Vintage Century Idle Hour, and that means we’ve explored 13 stories from Hollywood’s Golden Age so far. None of these films have been comedies, for one critical reason: Jennifer's not wild about them–and because she's not wild about them, she doesn't gravitate toward them when choosing films. It Happened One Night is a big name comedy in classic Hollywood films, so naturally, we have to watch it. But will Jennifer like it? That is the question. Also, we learn a new genre this week: “screwball comedy” what’s that? Jennifer doesn't like the sound of it. Oh, while we’re in the 1930s, Jennifer's going to talk to us about…Blue Bell Ice Cream. Yeah, it’s an abrupt change of topic, but it all weaves together. Sort of. Or so she would have us believe. The hunt is on for a new favorite flavor. It’s all coming up on this episode of the Vintage Century Idle Hour.
