Phew! Its been a long while since I posted something new here on the blog but there is a ton of new content up on my YouTube channel. With such a diverse show this week I wanted to do a video dump again and let you guys see all the full footage of the clips I used. I really loved this week because of all the great animation I got to watch again and again. I hope you guys enjoy these clips as much as I did! Cheers!

Episode 7: Music and animation
This week it is all about Paul Newman, one of film’s most popular and talented stars. He was well known for his “H” movies as the 60’s and 70’s gave him a string of hits with movies either starting with the letter or somewhere prominent within, (Hud, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Hombre, and Harper). Towards the end of his career he finally won his only Oscar for “The Color of Money”, which upon further reflection should probably have made my top 5 but as “The Hustler” is its precursor I think I can let it go. A fellow Connecticut resident (technically I’m now a CT expat) Newman he was well known for his charity work including co-founding “The hole in the wall gang camp” for severely-ill children, also in Connecticut and the famous Newman’s Own brand of salad-dressings, lemonades, pasta sauces etc. all of which profits go to charity. While Newman’s persona was one of a lovable and charming rebel on the big screen his heart and class in life is what makes him such an enduring star.
This week we’re talking about the top 5 movies set in San Francisco. I’ve lived here for about three years and while we have studios like Pixar and Dreamworks that have made the area a hot bed for great animation I think it is easy to forget about this city’s great cinematic history. So this week I chose the movies that I think best represent my current home. The list is only five though and it excludes a couple of greats, so making the honorable mentions this week are The Bird Man of Alcatraz, The Towering Inferno and yes, Mrs. Doubtfire.
