Discovering good movies, one bad movie at a time


For this Spoiler Alert episode, we field a request from Patreon donor Travis Neely, who invited us to take a look at the 1946 British fantasy film A Matter of Life and Death (initially released in the United States as Stairway to Heaven). One of the greatest triumphs of the writing-directing-producing team of Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, the film looks at the life and death (and what follows) of an RAF pilot in the last days of the Second World War.

In Worth Mentioning, the AE crew cross paths with one another to take in very different movies, including: In This Corner of the World, Leap! and Wind River.
