When IndieWire recently ranked the 25 best films of Alfred Hitchcock, it was probably no surprise to anyone that “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” the director’s sole attempt at a light romantic comedy, didn’t make the cut.

Written with piercing clarity by Charles Burnett, the script details Charlie’s spiritual disintegration from his sustained joblessness and the tensions of his marriage to Andais (Kaycee Moore), who, stuck home in Watts caring for three young children, is weighed down by her husband’s failures, particularly once he starts cheating on her.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

One of the strange things about our streaming ecosystem is that, even when a movie or TV show is eminently streamable, that show commands way more attention the second it becomes available on Netflix. The streaming service that started it all still has a unique place in out conversation about movies and TV, and that’s evident in how we prioritize catching titles that have arrived there.
