    On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1951 classic A Place in the Sun. George Eastman is a poor but ambitious young man who becomes entangled with two women after beginning a job with his rich uncle. Based on the Theodore Dreiser novel An American Tragedy, morality and class mobility take center stage as George exposes his inner demons in order to achieve the status and possibly the love he aspires to.

    Other topics include Woody Allen’s influence by A Place in the Sun, censorship in classic Hollywood, the shift of morality in the movies, the new 4K release of Killer Klowns From Outer Space, The Planet of the Apes franchise, and whether Galaxy Quest is a perfect film.
