Podcasts about Alfred Hitchcock

Today's episode in Politics on Trial is about three trials that took place over two months in the late spring of 1895 that brought about the destruction of Oscar Wilde. Why did Wilde trigger his own doom by suing his nemesis Lord Queensbury for libel? What did he fail to understand about how he would come across in a courtroom? And how did the persecution of Wilde and his gay lifestyle reveal the hidden terrors of late Victorian England and its high society, up to and including the prime minister?

With this week's episode, we offer a long overdue thanks to Patreon stalwart and regular guest star Gavin McDowell, who once asked Tim, Carrie, and Rob to share their thoughts on the wonderful cinematic form known as film noir. We were never to make that happen, but this is the next best thing: Gavin himself joins Tim to chat about the history, style, and classification of noir, along with fellow guest star Zev Burrows. Topics discussed include the ethically queasy appeal of the vicious women of noir, the difference between nihilism and cynicism, and whether either "film noir or "Alfred Hitchcock" can be reasonably described as film genres. In addition, for our movie roundtable, Zev catches up with the Jean Cocteau/Jean-Pierre Melville collaboration Les Enfants terribles, Gavin patches a terrible oversight by finally seeing Billy Wilder's The Apartment, and Tim shares his thoughts on British plays for television such as 1987's Road, his assignment from Patreon supporter David G.

Our first Hitchcock film! It's been a long time coming. Dial M for Murder is well-regarded but somehow sits just outside the top tier of Alfred Hitchcock's legendary catalog. It's often overlooked by some of Hitchcock's other works. This was also his first collaboration with Grace Kelly, a pairing that would define much of his work in the '50s. Does this early thriller deserve more attention, or is it overshadowed by its more famous suspenseful siblings?___Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/72nZWQLXOJsxbkgpiqOffuApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-wasnt-it-better/id1716624431Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_officialTwitter: https://x.com/WWIBpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wwibpodcastSubscribe!

James had never seen Alfred Hitchcock's suspense classic North by Northwest, so he watched it with Dan and they recorded a podcast about it. In this episode, they explore Cary Grant's iconic performance as the wrong man on the run, the legendary crop-duster scene, and the film's slick blend of espionage, romance, and suspense. They also consider its influence on modern action thrillers and ask whether Cary Grant's indestructible suit is the greatest in cinema history.Stay Connected:X: @talkinfilmBluesky: @talkinfilm.bsky.socialTikTok: @talkin_filmFacebook: You Talkin' to Me?

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.

Im Sommer 1975 verändert ein US-Film den Blick auf das Genrekino. Und die Urlaubsgewohnheiten von Millionen Menschen in aller Welt. Der Regisseur Steven Spielberg, erst 27 Jahre alt, präsentiert mit "Jaws" einen Tier-Schocker, der enge B-Movie-Grenzen weit hinter sich lässt. New Hollywood Realismus und Suspense á la Alfred Hitchcock heben den Thriller rund im einen gefräßigen Weißen Hai auf ein neues Level. Der (Sommer-)Blockbuster ist geboren. Pia Reiser und Christian Fuchs blicken zurück: Auf die Entstehungsgeschichte von "Jaws", die wahnwitzigen Drehbedingungen, die tolle Besetzung, den Soundtrack. Eine Verbeugung vor einem der besten Filme aller Zeiten. Sendungshinweis: FM4 Film Podcast, 21.07.2025, 0 Uhr

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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?

“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.
