Ever since Marshall Craig was taken from us on December 18, 2020, his mother Carla Craig has worked tirelessly with his friends and loved ones to ensure his memory lives on. So far, this has lead to his massive book collection being donated to the library at his Alumni, The California University Of Pennsylvania, a bench installed at a park where he loved to see the sunset, and the beginnings of a charity called Marshall’s Revolution.
This is a year long miniseries designed by The Pop Break Staff Writer Sam Niles to progress his memory by having some discussions about movies in Marshall’s collection. Marshall has an incredible collection and could talk for hours about film, so some of his friends got together and made a podcast to invite guests with both a passion and knowledge for film to discuss selections from his collection once a month.
This episode of Marshall’s Movies captures the bittersweet essence of what our podcast is about. As it’s Christmas time, guest Dylan Lindley and host Sam Niles discuss what may be Marshall’s favorite Christmas movie, 1940’s The Shop Around the Corner starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan. Modern day viewers may know it best as the basis for Nora Ephron’s 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan. It’s a delightful film, and we’re grateful to have one of Marshall’s best friends to talk about it.
This episode also comes at the first anniversary of Marshall’s passing. So on this episode, we take some time to discuss what that year has been like for us and those who loved him while forgetting what this show is about: honoring our loving, caring, and dearly missed friend.
