Shot in 6 days for the super stingy price tag of $69,000, Kurt Neumann's Secret of the Blue Room, a remake itself of a German film, was enough of a success for Universal Pictures that they remade it twice in the span of eleven years.  Once in 1938 as a semi-comedy called The Missing Guest and again in 1944 as a musical called Murder in the Blue Room. 

Dan and Vicky discuss this often forgotten thriller in Universal's 1930's spate of horror and suspense output.  They also talk about recently seen movies including Wonder Woman 1984, The Heiress, When A Stranger Calls, #Alive, Mortuary Collection, On The Waterfront and The King of Staten Island.   

And in a special segment they pay tribute to late director Omid Nooshin of episode 121's The Last Passenger and remember the passing of Cicely Tyson, Cloris Leachman, Christopher Plummer and Hal Holbrook.
