In this special installment, Al looks at "Four O'Clock," the premiere episode of the new series "Suspicion," an episode directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Then Amy joins Al to discuss the episode, whether Hitchcock has done more than enough with the "husband plans to kill wife" motif, and whether E.G. Marshall's voice-overs are annoying.

In this fantastic episode of The Artists podcast, we are joined by the legendary Sir David Sterritt—renowned film critic and scholar, celebrated for his extensive writings on Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and more recently, Martin Scorsese. Sterritt, who previously appeared in Episode 89 where we explored Hitchcock, Godard, and Kiarostami (a must-listen if you haven’t already!), returns to unpack the essence of Pure Cinema—a term often used but rarely understood in its full cinematic depth. He’s written for esteemed publications like MovieMaker, Sight and Sound, and Cinéaste, and his insights offer a compelling journey through both classic and modern film thinking.

Dave McArthur and Bill Hodges stay sober and discuss whether the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much will enter the Toasting the Classics Hall of Fame.

Surprise! We're back with a new episode. We jump off from the idea introduced to us by J. Todd Anderson, by way of Alfred Hitchcock, that filmmaking is about two things (and according to J. Todd only these two things): suspense and surprise. We analyze ways in which films create a “burden of knowledge” in the mind of the audience, and how this can dramatically affect the way scenes play out on a screen and behind our eyes. Sometimes you're ahead of the characters, and sometimes they're way, way ahead of you. Check us out in the new episode of Blank Check where we kick off their Coen brothers mini series Pod Country for Old Cast with the first film in the Coens ouvre, Blood Simple!

La route départementale qui relie La Turbie à Cap-D'ail aux marches de Monaco, porte le numéro 37. La route départementale qui relie La Turbie à Cap-D'ail aux marches de Monaco, porte le numéro 37. Cette route, entre l'été 1954 et le treize septembre 1982, la princesse Grâce va l'emprunter à des centaines de reprises. La première fois, c'était lors du tournage de « La main au collet », son troisième film avec Alfred Hitchcock. La dernière, ce sera lors de l'accident qui lui coutera la vie, vingt-six ans plus tard. Entre ces deux dates, on pourrait presque parler d'un banal « american dream » avec riches self-made men issus de l'immigration misérable et d'un traditionnel conte de fées, un peu poussiéreux, à l'européenne. Sauf que cette histoire-là, précisément, est exemplaire. Elle nous parle de liberté, de manque d'amour, de rébellion, de déracinement, de déterminisme ou de non-déterminisme, de dérapage médiatique et de rumeur persistante. C'est l'histoire de Grâce Kelly. Avec Bertrand Tessier « Grace, la princesse déracinée" aux éditions de l'Archipel Sujets traité : Grace de Monaco, Grace Kelly, princesse , Alfred Hitchcock, princesse Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

In this episode, we dive deep into Alfred Hitchcock's audacious 1948 thriller Rope—a film that unfolds in real time and dares to disguise its cuts. We explore the true crime inspiration behind the story, Hitchcock's technical wizardry with long takes and hidden edits, and the psychological tension simmering beneath the surface. From the chilling performances of John Dall and Farley Granger to James Stewart's role as a morally shaken mentor, we unpack the film's themes of intellectual superiority, guilt, and the thrill of getting away with murder. Is Rope a technical stunt or a philosophical masterstroke?Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

The focus of this week's podcast episode is Alfred Hitchcock's 1946 romantic spy thriller Notorious. We are into the top five, and this is probably the least well-known of the top five. But don't sleep on it!

If you want to understand the intellectual fault lines of the 20th century, you don't need to go to a fancy college. You can just sit down with some old movies. We don't touch on horror movies often on Geeky Stoics, in fact, this is a first. I just finished KINGDOM OF CAIN, a fascinating book about how horror and murder point toward evidence of God. It's a fresh approach to Christian apologetics and on brand for Klavan, a prolific crime and mystery novelist. The book traces the line between real world murders that inspired art (film and stage plays) which inspire more real world violence, which inspire more art. Man destroys, man creates, round and round we go. At issue for most of the book is how the Ed Gein murders spurred on Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO (1960), which later warranted a response in the form of HALLOWEEN (1978). What Klavan leaves out is a movie near and dear to me, which builds on both of these films, SCREAM (1996). A question is posed by these works of art based on real world violence: Is evil a psychiatric malfunction or a metaphysical reality? Are murderers patients, or vessels……In the video above, you'll get some answers to that question and see how philosophy and psychology clash when it comes to the question of evil and violence. “Darwin told us where we came from. Marx told us where we're going. Freud told us who we are.” - Andrew Klavan This is a public episode.

The Cadieux House has a dark past: in 1955, it was the site of the never-solved murder of its owner, Dennis Blaine. Cadieux himself was alleged to be having an affair with Dennis's wife, the stunningly beautiful Rebecca. It seems like yesterday's headlines, but then someone starts killing people with a connection to the house. The home's new owner—bestselling novelist Brownwyn Merrick—may be using the house to launch a fictionalized account of the 1955 crime. But someone may not want her to. Just how far will Bronwyn's armed bodyguard go to protect her?ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Over the years, Richard J. Koreto has been a magazine writer, website manager, textbook editor. novel and merchant seaman.

"Lord of the Rings, Politics, and What's a Christian to Do?" That's the theme for our annual Fall Retreat (October 17-18) with special guest teacher Rev. Steve Pearson. Back for a second conversation in the series, Steve joined Pastor Chris to talk about the first movie in the trilogy, "The Fellowship of the Ring." Steve summarized the characters and plot, then talked about themes in the movie through the lenses we named in the first of our conversations: power (the nature of); fellowship; and sovereignty and freedom. Food for thought: In his movies, Alfred Hitchcock used to talk about what he called a "MacGuffin," a thing that everyone was after that helped drive the story. He famously said that it didn't matter what the MacGuffin was-- that the thing itself was irrelevant to the plot. In Lord of the Rings, there is an object at the center of the story, but it's no empty, irrevelant object. Can you think of some reasons why? For more information about the retreat and Steve, please go here.

Alfred Hitchcock decía: "Imaginemos que estamos los dos aquí y han puesto una bomba bajo la mesa. Tengo dos maneras de contarlo. O bien muestro al espectador la bomba en la mesa y luego vuelvo la cámara hacia el personaje, así el espectador se pregunta, ¿cuándo va a explotar? Eso se llama suspense. O bien elijo no mostrar la bomba, filmo solo a las personas y de repente hago explotar la bomba. Eso es una sorpresa". Pierre Lemaitre es un amante de Hitchcock hasta el punto de pensar en qué haría él cuando escribe. El escritor presenta 'Un futuro prometedor', editado por Salamandra/Bromera. Suspense y sorpresa, entre otras cosas, aguardan al lector de cualquiera de sus novelas, pero concretamente de la última, 'Un futuro prometedor', en la que continúan las peripecias de la familia Pelletier, protagonistas también de 'Tras el ancho mundo' y 'El silencio y la cólera'.Miguel Ángel Delgado nos acerca esta semana al lado más humano y menos conocido de una de las figuras más populares de la ciencia. En 'Cartas', de Oliver Sacks (Anagrama), encontramos confesiones íntimas, temores, equivocaciones y facetas personales que no siempre vemos reflejadas en sus obras científicas.Desde el Teatro Real de Madrid, Olga Baeza nos cuenta el cierre de temporada con una deuda saldada: La traviata, de Verdi. El montaje, previsto en 2020, fue entonces sustituido por una versión adaptada a las restricciones sanitarias. Hoy, finalmente, se alza el telón en su forma completa.Y cerramos con el documental 'Velintonia 3', de Javier Vila, que recupera la memoria viva de la casa de Vicente Aleixandre. Más que una vivienda, un refugio de creación y encuentro para generaciones de poetas que pasaron por sus estancias, leyeron en su biblioteca y conversaron con él.Escuchar audio

“I really loved it,” Francine Prose says of Nixon-era San Francisco in this episode of The World in Time, “but I also knew I wasn't going to live there forever. Everyone I knew was living in these group houses in Berkeley, and then in the city itself, with ten people or fifteen people. I talk about the Reno Hotel, a former nineteenth-century hotel that had been built for boxers, and the city had given it to artists and designers and said, You can live there, don't burn it down. And so they carved out these incredibly beautiful spaces for themselves. But this was before the tech revolution, when the Mission was still kind of wild and free, and it wasn't all the glass cubes and people in tech. It was a great city to live in then. There was a kind of freedom there. Certainly compared to what I'd come from. My good fortune was that I wasn't around a lot of hippies giving acid to two-year-olds. The book takes place during the Vietnam War. We went out and protested McNamara. My husband was the one who scaled the Pentagon, the walls of the Pentagon. We were very idealistic. Maybe unrealistically idealistic, but hey, I'll take it.” This week on the podcast, Donovan Hohn speaks with Francine Prose, author of 1974: A Personal History, about the San Francisco she remembers from her youth, about her relationship with Pentagon Papers whistleblower Tony Russo, about the final defeat of 1960s counterculture, and about the eerie echoes of Prose's favorite movie, Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.

In this episode, Dr. Douglas Groothuis shares his first film review on Truth Tribe, reading an essay he originally published on his blog. The focus is Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror classic, The Birds, a suspenseful and unsettling tale of inexplicable bird attacks in a small California town. Dr. Groothuis examines the film's haunting themes, reflecting on their theological and moral implications. From the unsettling randomness of the attacks to the symbolism of the caged lovebirds, Dr. Groothuis encourages listeners to think deeply about how creation, human dominion, and divine justice intersect — even in the unsettling world of Hitchcock’s cinema.

Author here! After the reception you guys had to my Crater Lake story a day ago, I'm hoping you'll like this series just as much! It's the first part of a four parter, one that is a slow burn in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock, with a mixture of horror, suspense, and thriller. It's one of my favorite stories I've written so far. And if you have a keen eye to the ending lines of this first part, you'll get the first inklings of where this is going! Enjoy! ~ J.L. Goodwin

Alfred Hitchcock was one of the most celebrated film directors of all time. In a career that spanned six decades, he produced more than 50 films, including Britain's first successful talking picture. His countless awards and accolades earned him a reputation as the ‘Master of Suspense', but how did an introverted working class boy come to dominate Hollywood? What was the truth behind the rumours of obsessive ruthless behaviour? And what makes his films so revered still to this day? This is a Short History Of Alfred Hitchcock.  A Nosier Production.
