Peter and Andrew explore Billy Wilder's Oscar-winning classic The Apartment, a deceptively light comedy that tackles heavy themes of loneliness, corporate culture, and moral compromise in 1960s America. They analyze how Wilder crafts sympathetic characters caught in morally complex situations and discuss the film's surprising depth beneath its entertaining surface.

The duo then imagines how to remake this adult-themed story: Could it work as a family film starring Winnie the Pooh? How would you shoot it with no budget? Would it work better as a modern Netflix series? Plus, listener poll results and their latest viewing recommendations.

The hosts also discuss their current viewing habits, including Bob's Burgers, and reference films like The Luckiest Man in America, Woman of the Hour, Late Night with the Devil, Slum Dog Millionaire, Magnolia, White Men Can't Jump, Palm Springs, Groundhog Day, Mad Men, It's a Wonderful Life, and Barbarian in their analysis and remake discussions.

Topics covered: Billy Wilder's writing techniques, 1960s corporate culture, the film's Jewish themes, character development, misunderstandings as plot devices, and why some classics remain timeless.
