We've got a rare double feature for you this week as we talk about 1951's People Will Talk (starring Cary Grant) and Martin Scorsese's 1990 documentary Made in Milan. It is a curious pairing, but join us as we try and make sense of it, talk about why Cary Grant was born to be in movies, and why you can always rely on Marty to do the absolute most, regardless of the project.

Marty contributed a short film called Life Lessons to this project, and it's a doozy. They talk about Marty's use of music, his signature style present in even his short works, and the nature of art, creation, and inspiration.
