Podcasts about Alfred Hitchcock

Ron's Amazing Stories opens the door to one of radio's most celebrated suspense anthologies—Escape. Known for its tales of danger, obsession, and the darker corners of human (and animal) behavior, Escape rarely pulled its punches. In this double feature, we explore what happens when the natural world breaks its unspoken contract with mankind. Our first story, "A Shipment of Mute Fate," stars Jack Webb in a harrowing tale of obsession and deadly cargo. A hunt for the world's most dangerous snake—the legendary bushmaster—leads to a sea voyage where danger coils silently in the shadows. Our second story, "The Birds," is based on the chilling work of Daphne du Maurier. Set in post–World War II England, it tells the story of a quiet community suddenly and violently besieged by flocks of birds acting with terrifying purpose. The tale later inspired Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, but its radio version remains just as unsettling. Two stories. Two species. One warning. Nature is patient… until it isn't. In This Episode An introduction to the classic radio series Escape "A Shipment of Mute Fate," starring Jack Webb The deadly legend of the bushmaster snake A brief discussion on cats, reflexes, and snake encounters "The Birds," based on the story by Daphne du Maurier How both tales reflect the fear of nature gone wrong Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.

In 1956, Alfred Hitchcock focused his lens on an issue that cuts to the heart of our criminal justice system: the risk of wrongful conviction. The result was The Wrong Man, a bracing drama based on the real-life false arrest of Queens musician Christopher “Manny” Balestrero. Manny's ordeal is part of a larger story of other miscarriages of justice in the first half of the twentieth century.  In Nothing to Fear: Alfred Hitchcock and the Wrong Men (Fayetteville Mafia Press, 2023), attorney Jason Isralowitz tells this story in a revelatory book that situates both the Balestrero case and its cinematic counterpart in their historical context. Drawing from archival records, Isralowitz delivers a gripping account of Manny' s trial and new insights into an errant prosecution. He then examines how Hitchcock' s film bears witness to issues that animate the contemporary innocence movement. Given the hundreds of exonerations of the wrongfully convicted in recent years, this genre-bending work of true crime and film history is a must-read. Jason Isralowitz is a partner in the New York office of Hogan Lovells. A Queens native, Jason graduated from Boston University's College of Communication with a bachelor's in journalism and holds a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He has practiced law in Manhattan since 1993. Jason lives in Summit, New Jersey with his wife, Jennifer. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

Today it's the first in our series of live episodes recorded at the Regent Street Cinema in London: David talks to the crime writers Nicci Gerrard and Sean French (aka Nicci French) about Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (1948), based on Patrick Hamilton's play of the same name, itself based on the real-life case of Leopold and Loeb. What is the true subject of this film: murder, sex, morality or something else? Why is James Stewart so hopelessly miscast? And how does all this connect to Nietzsche?

A young man plots a quiet inheritance in a decaying waterfront mansion haunted by whispers, rituals, and an uncle who knows far too much. When murder collides with forbidden knowledge, the price of impatience becomes far more than death. The Grip of Death by Robert Bloch. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another newsletter will be sent out in a few hours, free sci-fi and other fun stuff straight to your inbox every week. There is a link in the description and on LostSciFi.comNewsletter - https://lostscifi.com/free/How did we release more than 460 episodes without narrating a story by Robert Bloch? That oversight ends today. Born in Chicago in 1917, Bloch is best remembered for Psycho, the novel that became Alfred Hitchcock's iconic film—but that was only one chapter in a remarkable career.Bloch wrote more than 30 novels and hundreds of short stories, publishing his first tale at just 17. His love of the strange began early: at age ten, when his aunt offered to buy him any magazine he wanted, he chose the August 1927 issue of Weird Tales. Years later, speaking at the First World Fantasy Convention in 1975, Bloch recalled waking early on release day and sprinting to a tobacco-and-magazine shop to buy the latest issue—sometimes sneaking it home under his coat if the cover was especially scandalous.Today's story didn't appear in Weird Tales, but it is unquestionably a weird tale. From Strange Stories, December 1939, turn to page 85—The Grip of Death by Robert Bloch.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A struggling writer's obsession with forbidden knowledge leads him to a discovery no human mind was meant to grasp.

From a chance viewing of Saul Bass' iconic 'Psycho' titles on TCM sprung this exploration of the straightforward, human experience of watching 'Psycho' with an eye and ear towards how audience expectations were stoked and then subverted by Hitchcock. From the casting of Janet Leigh to the surprise departure of her character not even halfway through the film, the film toys with audience expectations and loyalties, and makes them complicit in the voyeurism and violence and judgement that unfolds. Hitchcock's decision to attempt a relatively low-budget thriller of the sort directors like Henri-George Clouzot (Diabolique) were having success with resulted unexpectedly in his defining film, a film that changed film language and construction and that influenced every director of note subsequent to the film's 1960 release. From the legendary shower sequence to no-less-stunning dialogue sequences, the film is so much more than it's origins.  It still stands the test of time today, and will forever be a part of Hitchcock's enduring legacy.

We sit down with award-winning novelist and former CNN senior copy editor John DeDakis—a storyteller whose life and career have been shaped by remarkable twists of fate. From navigating the Vietnam War draft and interviewing Alfred Hitchcock as a 20-something Army broadcaster, to decades in journalism at the White House and inside CNN's The Situation Room, John's journey reflects both serendipity and relentless creative drive. John shares how grief, politics, and lived experience have informed his Lark Chadwick mystery-suspense series, why he chose a young female protagonist, and how real-world events inevitably find their way into his fiction. He also opens up about failure, fear, courage, and the healing power of writing—offering tangible wisdom for creatives, writers, and anyone navigating major life transitions. Connect With Us:

La Órbita de Endor vuelve a recuperar el cine de Alfred Hitchcock, en esta ocasión con una película de suspense total como es REBECA (Rebecca – 1940), su primera película de Hollywood con un siempre cumplidor Laurence Olivier, acompañado de la sensibilidad de Joan Fontaine y la terrible interpretación de Judith Anderson como la pérfida ama de llaves. Una película con un supuesto personaje principal cuyo nombre no llega a saberse nunca y cuya auténtica protagonista, que da nombre al título, no sale en pantalla ni un solo segundo. Hoy, junto al Coronel Kurtz, Abraham Hithorso y Antonio Runa se darán todos los datos de producción, la historia del rodaje y se analizará la película de principio a fin. Lo clásico vuelve a LODE, gracias por escucharnos. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Hello! Apologies that the scheduling of ERRP episodes has been a little erratic of late. I recently moved flats and as a result I am dealing with lots of change. Anyway, since I'm back in the office today and so have internet for the day, I am dropping a random 1950s solo episode, which I have ready to go. In this episode- recorded back in May 2024-, I returned to the 'One Perfect Scene' format with an episode on the 'Scottie's nightmare' sequence from Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' (and my thoughts- in particular- on the film's third act, following this recent rewatch). This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!

Before heading into the Holiday season, Noir November could not be ignored. For the first time, Nick & Bella celebrate Noir November with three unforgettable, game-changing classics. We start with the Humphrey Bogart-led masterpiece and the catalyst for the Film Noir movement, 1941's The Maltese Falcon. Second, Billy Wilder's bleak, twisted, and sultry classic Double Indemnity. Finally, Alfred Hitchcock dipped his toes in the Noir lore with the wildly unnerving Strangers on a Train. Nick and Bella also dive into the debate of whether Film Noir is a genre or a style. Let us know what you think of these films, and let us know what your favorite Film Noir movie is. ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

Sixty-five years ago, Alfred Hitchcock shocked audiences with his film ‘Psycho.' It broke Hollywood conventions about what a film should and should not do, ushered in a new era of horror/thriller, and became one of the most studied movies in cinema history. We listen back to Terry's interview with star Janet Leigh, who talks about filming the famous shower scene. And we hear from screenwriter Evan Hunter about working with Hitchcock on his next film, ‘The Birds.'Also, Justin Chang reviews the new film ‘Hamnet,' about Shakespeare as a young playwright, husband and father. Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Send us a textWelcome back to DMRMonster: The Ed Gein Story is the third season of the Netflix anthology Monster. Charlie Hunnam takes on the chilling role of Ed Gein, the real-life murderer and grave robber, playing him with a disturbing mix of vulnerability and menace. He's supported by Laurie Metcalf as his domineering mother, Augusta, and Tom Hollander portraying Alfred Hitchcock in a metafictional twist — tying Gein's life to the cinematic monsters he inspired. The series was developed by Ian Brennan and overseen by Ryan Murphy, with Max Winkler directing much of the season. Hunnam has said that he felt significant pressure playing such a dark, psychologically complex figure, and described the role as emotionally taxing.Critically, the season has been met with strong backlash. Many reviewers criticize it for sensationalising Gein's crimes rather than offering a thoughtful exploration of his psyche. Some argue that the show leans too heavily into stylised horror, fictional subplots, and shock value — distracting from any deeper commentary on mental illness or the nature of evil. There's also concern about historical inaccuracy and how the series humanizes Gein at the expense of his real-life victims. While Hunnam's performance is often cited as a high point, critics largely describe the overall show as morally ambivalent, unfocused, and exploitative.Remeber to grab you 30 day free Audible trial, link in the show!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

If you're curious about how to handle unlikeable protagonists, this episode is for you! In Hitchcock's classic, DIAL M FOR MURDER, the protagonist is the villain — he plots the murder of his wife, and that's about as unlikeable as it gets! His anti-hero's monologue is a veritable masterclass and his shadow reveals that he's actually kind of a nice guy underneath it all ... when he's not blackmailing people and planning murders that is. -V.

A platinum beauty with an ugly secret; a tall, dark, and handsome husband with murder in his eyes; starkly lit interiors that may or may not include the silhouette of a rotund British gentleman…. This may sound like a catalog of images from the films of Alfred Hitchcock, but it is just as much an encapsulation of the works of Joan Harrison, a studio-era producer, a prolific cinematic storyteller, and a pioneer of female-centered suspense media at mid-century. Harrison remains best known as Alfred Hitchcock's right-hand woman—that is, to the extent that she is known at all. Christina Lane has written the first-ever book dedicated to the life and art of Joan Harrison, entitled Phantom Lady: Hollywood Producer Joan Harrison, The Forgotten Woman Behind Hitchcock (Chicago Review Press, February 2020). Born into a middle-class family in Surrey, Harrison took a secretarial job with Alfred Hitchcock as an aimless twenty-something, only to become a producer on films including Foreign Correspondent (1940), Rebecca (1940), and Suspicion (1941). In the 1940s, Harrison branched out, building a solo career producing movies for RKO and Universal Studios, only to return to the Hitchcock fold to run TV's Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-1962). In this discussion, Lane shares how she uncovered this obscure history, placing this “phantom lady” at the center of her own story. She also discusses the trajectory of Harrison's career and how she adapted her research for a broader readership. Christina Lane is Professor in the Cinematic Arts Department at the University of Miami and Edgar®-Award winning author of Phantom Lady: Joan Harrison, the Forgotten Woman Behind Hitchcock. She provides commentary for such outlets as the Daily Mail, CrimeReads and AirMail, and has been a featured guest speaker at the Film Forum, and on NPR and Turner Classic Movies. Annie Berke is the Film Editor at the Los Angeles Review of Books and author of Their Own Best Creations: Women Writers in Postwar Television (University of California Press, 2022). Her scholarship and criticism has been published in Feminist Media Histories, Public Books, Literary Hub, and Ms. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho introduced the world to the future of my horror. But before the genre would embrace it, it would first confront it's very origins with a boom of Gothic Horror films that would make icons out of people like Vincent Price, Barbara Steele, and Christopher Lee. Perhaps no one would have a greater impact on this era of the macabre than Roger Corman, the b-movie king whose adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's classic works changed horror forever. Perhaps nonemoreso than his 1961 classic The Pit and the Pendulum. This week on Years of Fear, we explore the legacy of Corman, Poe, Vincent Price, and the gothic horror films of the early 1960s.        If you want to get in touch with the show, you can reach us at yearsoffearpodcast@gmail.com  

Penny & Midge discuss the filming and legacy of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The original slasher film had a major impact on the horror genre in film as well as on its cast.
