Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed ”culturally, historically or aesthetically significant”. In each episode, Mike Natale (Yahoo!) and Tom Lorenzo (Men’s Journal) bring on a special guest to take a look at one of the films from the registry, to get to the heart of why these films matter.
The podcast You’re Missing Out: A National Film Registry Podcast is created by Neon Night Media. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
“And now, I shall entertain you!” – Magical Maestro (1952) Animation aficionado and producer Jordan Beck returns to the show to tackle Tex Avery’s Magical Maestro, one of the most frenetic and technically dazzling cartoons of the Golden Age. With its relentless visual gags and groundbreaking use of the “wipe” technique, this controversial short is both a masterclass in animation and a challenging relic of its time. Join us as Jordan helps us unpack the artistry and the baggage of this chaotic classic.

Another year, another batch of 25 (give or take) titles added to the National Film Registry, and another live reaction episode from You're Missing Out. As is tradition, hosts Mike Natale and Tom Lorenzo jumped on mic mere hours after the list was made public. Neither host knew what titles were inducted until producer Kyle kicked off a YouTube livestream at noon on 12/17 and read the list off one by one. There was excitement, confusion, and the constant question "Did any of the films we submitted get in?" Will the titles this year have us 'dirty dancing' or will all our hopes go 'up in smoke'? Find out in this special episode!

"It Will Make You a Better Southerner"- tagline from the Birmingham Age-Herald in 1916
We've now hit 100 National Film Registry titles covered on this podcast, and for this milestone episode, we decided to tackle the National Film Registry inductee that has most ominously loomed above this show since we began: D.W. Griffith's vile, hateful, and unfortunately influential 1915 blockbuster The Birth of a Nation.
Longtime friend of the show, and our resident "war movie" correspondent, Action for Everyone's VyceVictus, sat down with us for a wide-ranging discussion on this controversial title that's still being debated more than a century after its release. We'll take a look at the film's source material, talk about exactly why the National Film Registry chose to preserve this film, and the surprising Oscar-nominated director who led the charge for its induction.

"WHO WEARS THE PANTS?"
Tired of episodes where Mike and Tom bicker like a couple? Great news, for Adam's Rib, Mike's real-life significant other, editor Bella Zaydenberg, returns to the show to discuss Adam's Rib. Which of course means, she'll try and inject some well-researched facts into the mix, while Mike and Tom continue to bicker like a couple. This time, they'll talk Tracy, Hepburn, who was right in the courtroom, and whether Kip is queer-coded or really trying to get into Katherine's signature slacks...

"Bruce Baillie makes avant-garde films with the gifts of a painter and the objectives of a sign painter."
This week, we sat down as just Tom and Mike to talk about Bruce Baillie's Castro Street. But more than that, we sat down to, in a sense, "How To Watch Experimental Films (If You Don't Like Experimental Films)". After Tom notably had no patience for Dog Star Man earlier this season, Mike was surprised to find Tom really resonated with this 10-minute avant-garde portrait of industrial California.
So, if you've ever found yourself thinking experimental film is daunting, incomprehensible, or yes, even pretentious, Tom (who has thought all three at times) takes the lead on this episode to help make sense of Castro Street, and offer a pathway into the rich and diverse world of experimental cinema.
Plus, we take a look at Baillie's other major work, All My Life (1966), to compare and contrast the two shorts.

"He will make you laugh, roar, scream- he'll make you choke back your tears. Ten reels of Chaplin as you like him. It's the Picture You've waited for!"
Editor Glenn Garthwaite returns to the show to discuss the Chaplin comedy so nice, he released it twice. Regarded as one of the Little Tramp's finest outings, the Klondike comedy The Gold Rush was a smash success when released as a silent in 1925. Then, in 1942, Chaplin rereleased it with a new score and narration by none other than Charlie (or, fine, Charles) himself, which received two Academy Award nominations.

One of the first films to provide a realistic depiction of warfare and its effects on those both on and off the battlefield, King Vidor's 1925 epic The Big Parade became one of the highest-grossing films of the silent era, and MGM's biggest hit until another war epic, Gone With the Wind (1939).
For our episode on The Big Parade, we opted to forgo our usual roundtable discussion format in favor of a feature-length commentary track, to ensure that everyone gets to see this landmark work of Hollywood filmmaking from a bygone age.

Mad Max is more than just an influential film franchise; it's an indelible part of the Australian cultural identity.
From modest beginnings as an independent thriller by George Miller and Byron Kennedy in 1979, Mad Max expanded into two high-octane post-apocalyptic epics in the 1980s with Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985). By 1995, ten years after the seeming end of the franchise, Australia named Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior as a quintessential piece of their 'National Cinematic Heritage' for UNESCO's Memory of the World preservation program.
The legacy of Mad Max was further cemented with the arguably unprecedented critical success of its long-delayed "legacy sequel" Mad Max: Fury Road, which recast the role of Max Rockatansky and rode shiny and chrome to 10 nominations at the 88th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and ultimately taking home six statues (the most of any film that night).
Now, with the release of Fury Road's prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Tom Lorenzo revisits the franchise that went from Australian indie to Oscar juggernaut, to see what we can take away today from the film series that redefined our idea of life after the apocalypse.

The You're Missing Out team were hoping to have some much needed rest over Labor Day weekend. They thought "Let's do a simple, silly bonus episode this week." They thought "Let's get some friends together, let's find an idea that's short, and fun, and will only take about an hour."
They were gravely mistaken. This episode was ill-advised.
You're Missing Out is normally about the National Film Registry, but there are, of course, other equally prestigious honors given out annually. In this bonus episode, we take a look at one such honor:
Every year since 1985, the editors of People magazine have selected one celebrity to declare the Sexiest Man Alive. The criteria? The man must be culturally, historically, or aesthetically attractive. This week on You’re Missing Out, we’ll take a look at all of these celebs, to try to get to the heart of why they were selected, and why they’re still sexy.

"He's as accustomed to the whip as I am to poverty."
You might know Sholem Aleichem's celebrated comedic hero of Yiddish literature, Tevye (or Tevya) from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. But decades earlier, titan of the Yiddish theatre scene Maurice Schwartz got a camera and a cast together and brought Aleichem's stories to the silver screen for the first time with Tevye.
We teamed up with Daniel Zana & Harry Ottensoser from Jews on Film to discuss the significance of this, the first non-English film ever inducted into the National Film Registry. We look at how it reflects the culture of the Jewish diaspora of both Aleichem and Schwartz's era, the brief but impactful Yiddish Cinema movement, and of course...tradition!

Way, way back in 2018, our hosts Mike Natale and Tom Lorenzo had a different podcast (with the same name, because names are hard, y'all). On that show, they devoted a whole episode to the history of the mighty cinematic ape known as King Kong, who had recently leaped from the silver screen to the Great White Way.
As a supplement to our recent episode on 1933's King Kong with Graham Skipper, we've dug out this vintage podcast episode where the Mike and Tom of the past discuss every major Kong movie up until then, as well as the Broadway musical based on the character.
We'll be back to National Film Registry talk next week, but for now, enjoy the King Kong Special!

"They said it couldn't be filmed – but it was! See it and ask – what if such a thing could happen?"
Horror expert and "literally wrote the book on big monsters" author Graham Skipper swings by the pod to talk everyone's big ape buddy King Kong. We'll talk the birth of the blockbuster, palpable personality in a stop-motion creature, and why the Kong iconography remains so powerful 90 years later.

"The lives lost were precious lives- to their county, to their loved ones, and to the men themselves."
In 1945, military officials were astounded by the battle footage captured by John Huston in his pointedly anti-war documentary short The Battle of San Pietro. Decades later, it was revealed that the real battle had occurred before the cameras even arrived. Editor Glenn Garthwaite joins us to untangle the complicated legacy of Houston's WWII film, and the rich history of those fateful filmmaking figures who went to war and came back changed.

Michael H. Weber was simply trying to lay low, enjoying his life as a successful screenwriter, when a figure from his past reappears to remind him of a foolish deal he made: agreeing to appear on a show about the National Film Registry about a year ago. Now he must return to the world of danger, corruption, double crosses, and duplicitous dames known as podcasting, to discuss Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Greer in Jacques Tourneur's iconic noir, Out of the Past.

"It took two years to make; it gives you two hours of engrossing entertainment. You may hate it, as you hate the dangerous undercurrents of life, but you will be fascinated, thrilled, held spell-bound."
Heads up! This is a very different kind of episode of You're Missing Out. Instead of sitting down with a guest and bouncing all around the plot of the film like we often do, this time, Mike, Tom, and Kyle sat down on mic to record a full-length (well, full-length for the shortest of the full length versions of this film) commentary track for Erich von Stroheim's 1924 masterpiece, Greed.
