The Apartment (1960) won Best Picture — but Billy Wilder wasn't making a feel-good film.

This week Riley and Mark review one of classic Hollywood's most deceptively dark comedies, starring Jack Lemmon as a corporate nobody who loans his apartment to his bosses for their affairs, and Shirley MacLaine as the woman who makes him question everything. They dig into whether Baxter is actually a victim or an active participant in his own exploitation, MacLaine's career-defining performance, and what Wilder was really saying about loneliness and ambition in corporate America. Mark brings his theater lens to two of Hollywood's most technically gifted performers, and Riley makes the case that the film lets its protagonist off far too easy.
