LOST Episode: Letterboxd 250: Fritz Lang's M (1931)

Better late than never! We are kicking off Halloween and officializing the relaunch of The Reel Lovers Podcast for Season 10 with a long-awaited archive drop. Recorded over a year ago, host Marley Silverbrand is joined by the fantastic Holly Holiday from the Get Your Popcorn Podcast for an in-depth dive into Fritz Lang’s 1931 psychological masterpiece, M.

Huge apologies for the massive delay on releasing this one, but dropping a conversation about one of cinema's most unsettling procedural thrillers on Halloween day just felt like perfect timing. Together, Marley and Holly unpack Peter Lorre’s iconic, chilling performance as Hans Beckert, Lang’s pioneering use of sound design and visual paranoia, and how the film’s themes of mob justice still hold up almost a century later.

Plus, stick around for our classic Last Four Watched segment. While our letterboxd diaries from over a year ago might feel like ancient history now, it’s a fun time capsule into what was floating around in our feeds back then.

A massive thank you to Holly for joining the show, sharing her insights, and being so patient with the release timeline. We hope to have her back very soon as Season 10 gets underway!
