We have a lighter table today with Nan, Sam, Diya and Eddie joining Dan for Dinner tonight. The conversation is robust! 1942 best picture winner epitomizes why this project is so special--watching movies we would otherwise skip over that are well made, timely and makes us think.

Without Kate's cooking skills Nan and Sam whip up breakfast for dinner, or Brinner because as Mr. Miniver says when he wakes up the best meal is always breakfast. Join us as we talk the 2026 Olympics, the challenges of home ownership, do beards make you look younger or older and the wonderful Mrs. Miniver

1. Not even technical difficulties can stop Dinner with Dan. Kate makes a great Shephard Pie, and Nan has challenges with our recording efforts, but no worry listeners--we did the podcast twice so we could talk about 1941 best picture movie, How Green Was My Valley. Is it better than Citizen Kane which was also nominated in 1941? Listen and see what the table thinks!

The gang get together on a snowy Saturday (a day early so everyone can take in the 60th Super Bowl) to discuss the 1940 winner Rebecca. Hitchcock, the master of suspense wins his only Best Picture author and the Dinner with Dan is all ready to discuss this art.

We are excited to be joined by Lily Gehres--all the way from Portland Oregon. Kate makes a new dessert--a Basque cake--and we have some comforting tuna noodle casserole. Fellowship and friendship commence this snowy February evening!
