The Gang enjoyed some gumbo and enjoyed discussing the political rise to power saga of 1949 Best Picture All the King's Men. Dan thoroughly enjoyed this picture that is loosely adapted on Louisiana's Huey Long--even though no one will publicly say that is what it is based on. Some of the table question the cinematic value to this picture, but none can disagree that we all weren't thoroughly entertained. After all, with a table of politicians and recovering politicos, would you expect anything less?

Pull up a seat, had a bowl of gumbo and enjoy!

We all did our best to get through Hamlet--and we all did it! But what a chore. Luckily we had each other's good company to discuss the 21st Oscar winning best picture 1948's Hamlet. Sir Laurence Olivier does it all and something is rotten in the State of Denmark and in this show. We discuss.

Kate makes some great hamburgers and we enjoy a yummy spring cookout as we hear about Diya's prom and all of our past proms as well. It is good to know that Dan was almost a delinquent due to his prom antics.

We hope you enjoy our time at the dinner table--even if we did watch Hamlet!

The whole gang is back for Dinner with Dan to enjoy some yummy Chinese food and to celebrate Kate and Diya's birthday and to watch our twentieth (!!) best picture movie, A Gentleman's Agreement. The 1947 winner tackles the issues of antisemitism and makes us ask the question if we are standing up to racism and bigotry in the tables we are sitting around every day.

We will be taking next Sunday off for the Easter holiday, and our big weekend celebrating Suffs coming to town--catch us in two weeks. In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy this thoughtful conversation around an important film.
