Vintage Century Idle Hour
Hi, there. Jennifer here. This show is about old movies and stuff. It's the cure insomniacs have been begging for, and the virtual companion for those who are really bored at work. Take it from my mom: "This is incontrovertibly the best podcast the world has ever known."

Vintage Century Idle Hour
The Day the Earth Stood Still I Missed an Appointment
At long last Jennifer is exploring a science fiction film. Some of the best science fiction films, in her opinion, are from the 1950s—the atomic age, when the future looked bright and scary at the same time. Well, tonight she's diving into a seminal atomic age science fiction film, The Day the Earth Stood Still. She got so invested—and so distracted—by this story, that she was actually late to an appointment and caused a lot of inconvenience for everyone involved. Was The Day the Earth Stood Still worth it? She says yes—but not in the way you might think.
Then, on a completely unrelated note…Jennifer's dog Olive’s birthday is this month, so in her honor, she thought we’d spend some time with famous canine actors from Hollywood’s Golden Age. Those dogs made their owners wealthy. Maybe that will give Olive some ideas.
