Ep. 61: The Lost Weekend (1945) or “Theremin on Tap” or “Billy Wilder is F***ing Great”

Zach welcomes podcasters Jeff and Cory (Switch the Envelope) to help soft through the demons found in Don Birnam’s bottle as they wander through Billy Wilder’s 1945 Oscar winning triumph, THE LOST WEEKEND.

Grab a theremin and watch out for bats as the guys learn the unusual origins of the film, get taken a back by many Wild(er) stories from behind the scenes, marvel at the highlights of the many moments that form Don’s journey, swoon over the cinematography, and reveal the ways the film has broken ground for films surrounding addiction to this day.
