Well, so it got me thinking, you know, because, you know, it's our first episode. It's the first of the new year. And so I was like kind of thinking, let's maybe talk a little bit about, you know, classic movie drunks. Sure. Like movies about drinking and, you know. Not all of it is fun all the time. Yeah. Like charismatic drunks, but mean drunk. Yeah. And, you know, the whole gamut.

Well, and, like, so I started thinking about, like, what was the last movie that I remember seeing that just really was truly about alcoholism, the darkest alcoholic? Like, maybe a movie you'd watch that would inspire you to adopt a dry January.

Like, something really hardcore. And I was like, I think the last one I saw was A Star Is Born, the remake, the most recent remake of it. Yes. Which was such a juggernaut when it came out. Did you not feel that?

Yeah, yeah. Like, so I decided that I was going to rewatch it, actually, during the Christmas break because I think it was on, like, I don't know, Paramount. You know how it's just like movies. I was like, oh, cool, a nice holiday movie where Bradley Cooper drinks himself to death. Amazing. So I watched it at my parents' house, and I gotta say, it's still really enjoyable.

And here's the thing that I thought was really interesting about this version of it, because if you don't know, I don't know how you wouldn't at this point. A Star is Born is this very storied franchise, really, at this point. Yeah. It almost seems like it gets remade every 20, 30 years. The original, the very first A Star Is Born, was made in 1937. And it was a William Wellman movie.

I'm a huge fan of William Wellman, the director. And that is my actual favorite version of the story. Wow. Is the 37. Because... First of all, it's like, well, it's the original, meaning the story, you know, sort of is contained in its own, like, little universe, right? But also, the lead actor of that film, Frederick March, who is... I don't know if listeners really know Frederick March.

I mean, he's kind of... He's a very famous actor of the 30s, but, you know, isn't like a Gary Cooper type. He was very, you know, like, kind of... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
