People…I can now officially say I’m a podcaster.
So here’s the thing: A little over a year ago, my friend Clay Morgan and I took our love of classic movies WORLDWIDE. We figured someone out there must enjoy talking about films from golden era Hollywood as much as we did so we started filming our chats and releasing videos on YouTube. It was fun.
Our problem: We originally planned to keep the videos at five minutes or so. That plan went out the window with our very first video. Then we shot for ten minutes. Then fifteen. Eventually by our 20th episode or so, we were filming 25-minute long vlogs…they were masterpieces, sure (says the amateur video editor), but asking people to watch that long of a video is kind of a lot. It also took a lot of time to edit.
But asking people to listen for 25 minutes? So much more reasonable.
Thus, introducing the Classic Movie Gush podcast!
Now you can listen while you run (people do that, right?) or clean or work or even drive.
The only downside to our new format? You won’t get to see riveting stuff like us spinning in our chairs, me drinking/spilling Diet Coke with Lime, Clay holding up that one book he has about top 100 movies or something that DOESN’T INCLUDE SOUND OF MUSIC.
So here’s where you can download and listen to Classic Movie Gush:
iTunes
Stitcher
NorvilleRogers.com
We would LOVE it if you’d subscribe to, rate and review the podcast!
Also, Clay has basically done all the work on this, so high fives to him.
Sorry, I started .gif mining earlier and couldn’t stop. But really, Clay has done the work. (Thanks, Clay. You’re forgiven for approximately 25% of your Sound of Music cracks.) I just continue to show up and talk about movies. It’s a sweet gig.
It’ll be even sweeter when TCM starts paying us BIG money for our movie banter.
If you’ve been a past Gush viewer and you check out the podcast, you’ll notice we’re re-releasing some of that former content along with generating new content. We just recently recorded a chat on The Thin Man, a 1930’s comedy-mystery that made Nick and Nora Charles a household name, played brilliantly by William Powell and Myrna Loy.
So if you like old movies OR want to like old movies OR need some convincing that you really would like old movies, check out the podcast and enjoy!

Yay! I’ve been missing Classic Movie Gush, so I’m really glad to hear that it’s back. =) I can’t wait to hear what you guys have to say about The Thin Man…I love that movie. (Well, I love the whole series but the first is my favorite.)
I know I’ve mentioned these before, but I’d love for ya’ll to cover Charade, How to Steal a Million, and The African Queen.

I think the first is my favorite, too, but there’s another one I really love…only I can’t remember which it is. Might be the second, actually. Guess I’ll just have to rewatch them and find out.
I love Charade, REALLY love How to Steal a Million (plus I don’t think we’ve done a Peter O’Toole movie yet) and I was just talking to someone about The African Queen last week. Katharine Hepburn is amazing in that. She’s amazing in everything. 🙂
I’ll miss seeing y’all’s cute faces, but can’t wait to listen! 🙂

And I will miss YOU at ACFW. I think I saw on facebook somewhere that you won’t be there this year…? 🙁 But at least I got to see you in Phoenix!
Yes! And anything with Cary Grant is a must-watch for me:)
Author
Me too, Susan. Someday I will get all my Cary Grant-loving friends in the same place and have a movie marathon.
But, but… we LIKE seeing you spinning in your chairs or spilling Diet Coke. It’s part of the fun, girl. 🙂
Glad to have you two back to the classic movie gush – and when it comes to the fun you two have making these, asking us to watch 25 minutes is never too long. Just sayin’.

Thanks, Rissi! And, well, even though you won’t be able to see the Diet Coke with Lime spillage anymore, you can rest assured it’s probably still happening! 🙂
I grew up watching Classic Movies, and still love them. A few of my favorites:
Father of the Bride (1950’s version)
How To Steal a Million
Bringing Up Baby
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
You Can’t Take It With You
Roman Holiday
