The Big Parade (1925) Commentary Track: 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. by You're Missing Out: A National Film Registry Podcast

BONUS: People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive: 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.

Tevya (1939) w/ Jews on Film: "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! by You're Missing Out: A National Film Registry Podcast
