Ep 046 // Casablanca

Published: Jan. 10, 2022, 1 p.m.

We attempt to record our first live and in-person podcast for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, it did not work out well but we did get a prereview in as well as watch the movie together. We were also joined by Kaden for the first part and got a score from him. On to the pick. Jacob has been trying to convince Tate and Sage to watch Casablanca outside of the podcast since he watched it. They wouldn't so Jacob turned his pick into this 1942 classic starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. Tate and Sage were able to ask a point that Jacob had never thought of before. Was Renault a French Patriot waiting for his time to make his movie or was he an opportunistic corrupt official who ends up doing the right thing in the end? This and much more.

This movie was directed by Michael Curtiz.
