The time has come, dear hearts! We’re about to embark on an amazing journey that’s years in the making, but we have to start with the original, 1940’s The Shop Around The Corner. We talk about how Jimmy Stewart continues to be the best, the wildly dark turn of the subplot, and the number of times the word Matuschek is spoken (hint: a ton). Smoke candy and listen to cigarettes with us, whether in Budapest or your favorite Midwest city.
