Episode 96: 1930 with Catherine Stebbins
A podcast about the great movies.
Catherine Stebbins is intimately acquainted with the year of 1930 - because it was the subject of the most recent of her year-by-year movie ‘zines, which makes her an ideal (and overdue) guest. Join us as she discusses the nutty King of Jazz, the heartbreaking City Girl, the sublime People on Sunday, and more.
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Google Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The Big House is available for digital rental or purchase. City Girl is not currently streaming (booooooo), but you can find it on YouTube (here’s a good copy). Neither is King of Jazz, but it is available on a beautiful Criterion Blu-ray.
Madam Satan is available for digital rental or purchase. And finally, People on Sunday is streaming on the Criterion Channel and Max, and it also has a Criterion Blu-ray.
You can buy Catherine’s 1930 ‘zine (and her others) at her Etsy shop. You can follow her on Twitter, Blusky, Letterboxd, and Instagram, and her website is here. You can follow Jason on Blusky, Instagram, and Letterboxd - where you'll find his lists of all the movies on every episode of the show (including this one). You can follow Mike on Instagram, Blusky and Twitter/X/whatever.
If you’d like to watch the trailer for The Sessionography, the documentary that Mike mentioned, you can do that here. And if you’d like to pre-order Jason’s new book Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend, you can pre-order it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.
