Podcasts about Family Plot

This week on Family Plot, we're joined by our youngest plotter—8-year-old Lexi Boese—who asked us to tell the story of Autherine Juanita Lucy, the first Black student admitted to the University of Alabama. Her brave enrollment in 1956 was court-ordered and historic… and it ignited the largest anti-integration riot in American history. What followed was a shameful twist: Lucy was expelled “for her safety”—a coward's move cloaked as concern. Even the local Birmingham paper applauded the university's decision, celebrating the city's “peace”—a peace built on exclusion. (Yeah… that didn't age well.) In this episode, we dive into Lucy's incredible journey:Her decision to challenge segregationThe three harrowing days she spent on campusThe court's demand to reinstate her—and the university's retaliatory slander banHer triumphant return in 1988, earning a master's degree the same year her daughter graduated with a BAThis isn't just a story—it's resistance wrapped in legacy. And with Lexi, Arthur, Laura, and Dean at the table, we explore how one woman's courage changed history. Pull up a seat. Let's learn something. #AutherineLucy #CivilRightsHero #FamilyPlotPodcast #LetsLearnSomething #BlackHistory #HistoryPodcast #AmplifyBlackVoices #TrailblazerThursday #PG13WithHeartBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

"EDITH HEAD: OLD HOLLYWOOD'S QUEEN OF FASHION" (093) EPISODE 93 -  6/23/25 With eight Academy Awards to her name — more than any other woman in history — EDITH HEAD wasn't just a costume designer; she was a storyteller in fabric, silhouette, and sparkle. From BETTE DAVIS to GRACE KELLY to AUDREY HEPBURN, she dressed the biggest stars of the silver screen, leaving an indelible mark on both fashion and film. In this episode, we explore how a shy schoolteacher became the most powerful woman in Hollywood wardrobes, her collaborations with iconic directors like Alfred Hitchcock, and how her designs helped shape characters, define eras, and influence fashion far beyond the studio lot. So, slip into something fabulous, and let's step behind the curtain into the life and legacy of the great Edith Head.

Leave your crystal balls out of this, George... It's Hitchcock's final film. After 6 decades, 53 films, and 50 years, Alfred Hitchcock finally reached the end. His last feature is remarkably light fare, comedy over suspense, jokes over violence, a cozy old-school sensibility over the edginess that exploded in the 70s. So, how does it stack up? Did old Hitch still have it? We watch and find out.

Hitch's most iconic decade – a decade of Technicolor grandeur and peril inflicted on famous blondes – came to an end in 1964 with Marnie, a critical and box office flop which wounded Hitchcock's ego and left him unsure how to move forward in a changing world. His subsequent four final films – Torn Curtain, Topaz, Frenzy, Family Plot – are the result of his efforts to mix up his formula for an era in which he felt ripped off by James Bond and mourned the decline of the Golden Age stars.

Merry Christmas! Our stocking stuffer for you, our dear listeners, is this wildly entertaining podcast on Alfred Hitchcock's last film, Family Plot. And as an added bonus, we bring you an extra sibling! ***SPOILER ALERT*** We do talk about this movie in its entirety, so if you plan on watching it, we suggest you watch it before listening to our takes. Details: A Universal Picture released April 9, 1976. Produced Hitchcock. Screenplay by Ernest Lehman, based on the novel The Rainbird Pattern by Victor Canning. Starring Barbara Harris, Bruce Dern, Karen Black, and William Devane. Cinematography by Leonard J. South. Music by John Williams. Ranking: 29 out of 52. Ranking movies is a reductive parlor game. It's also fun. And it's a good way to frame a discussion. We aggregated over 70 ranked lists from critics, fans, and magazines Family Plot got 1,421 ranking points.

When your day takes an odd twist, and social media is to blame. Old technology Turi and Marci want to keep for the rest of their lives…which makes them think about how long they've got. Buying a house with a “family plot” (so far, we have not seen this on “Househunters”.)

A lot of the time, fantasy worldbuilding invokes huge maps, spanning civilizations and continents, with characters traversing vast distances on their epic quests. But what about the worldbuilding that happens with a tighter focus on an intimate, even insular location? Guest Cherie Priest joins us to discuss creating small towns just ripe for gothic mysteries, peculiar traditions, and weird, haunting circumstances. What does isolation -- either naturally developing, imposed by larger-scale conditions, or willfully chosen -- do to a group of people? What sorts of lore and habits will spring up in such areas? And how do you, as a worldbuilder, think about their infrastructure -- or the lack thereof -- and how that might affect your characters and your plot? [Transcript TK] Our Guest: Cherie Priest is the author of two dozen books and novellas, most recently the Booking Agents mysteries Grave Reservations and Flight Risk. She also wrote gothic horror project The Toll and haunted house thriller The Family Plot – as well as the hit YA graphic novel mash-ups I Am Princess X and its follow up, The Agony House. But she is perhaps best known for the steampunk pulp adventures of the Clockwork Century, beginning with Boneshaker. She has been nominated for the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, and the Locus award – which she won with Boneshaker. Cherie has also written a number of urban fantasy titles, and composed pieces (large and small) for George R. R. Martin's shared world universe, the Wild Cards. Her short stories and nonfiction articles have appeared in such fine publications as Weird Tales, Publishers Weekly, and numerous anthologies – and her books have been translated into nine languages in eleven countries. Although she was born in Florida on the day Jimmy Hoffa disappeared, for the last twenty years Cherie has largely divided her time between Chattanooga, TN, and Seattle, WA – where she presently lives with her husband and a menagerie of exceedingly photogenic pets.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back and digging into the year 1976 with the blaxploitation monster take on Jerkyl and Hyde, "Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde," and with the last movie of Alfred Hitchcock's career, the low-stakes "comedy" about fake psychics and jewel thieves, "Family Plot." Available on Spotify and Apple Episode 389 includes: -R.I.P. the original Harley Quinn, Arleen Sorkin. -In solidarity with the strike, Ben is only reviewing old movies, and this episode it's from 1960 with "the Time Machine" and "The Flesh and the Fiends."  -Nate has finally seen "Barbie" and has good things to say about horror indie, "Talk to Me." -By the Decade -- 1976 -- "Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde" / "Family Plot" -The guys discuss two more disappointing movies from the 1970s. First a blaxploitation movie that does nothing with its race-flripping monster-alter ego premise, and then Alfred Hitchcock's final movie that sadly proved that the legendary director had been eclipsed.

Is Alfred Hitchcock the best of them all? That's the question that watching the AFI's Top 100 films raised for us as we saw the British director at his peak. We feel like in order to answer that question, we need to go allll the way back to the beginning--his beginning--and watch as many of his films as we can get our hands on. It won't quite be ALL of his films, which number somewhere around 53, but it will be most of them. We're using several different lists, curated collections, and boxed sets to assemble our deep dive, and if you wish to follow along, here's the order we're watching them in, and where you can find them for yourself: The Pleasure Garden (1926) The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) Downhill (1927) Blackmail (1929) Rich and Strange (1931) The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) The 39 Steps (1935) Young and Innocent (1937) The Lady Vanishes (1938) Rebecca (1940) Foreign Correspondent (1940) Suspicion (1941) Saboteur (1942) Shadow of a Doubt (1943) Spellbound (1945) Notorious (1946) Rope (1948) Strangers on a Train (1951) I confess (1953) Dial M For Murder (1954) Rear Window (1954) The Trouble With Harry (1955) The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) The Wrong Man (1956) Vertigo (1958) North by Northwest (1959) Psycho (1960) The Birds (1963) Marnie (1964) Torn Curtain (1966) Topaz (1969) Frenzy (1972) Family Plot (1976) We hope you follow along, and we hope you have a blast! :)

This time, the Family Plot trio of Krysta, Laura and Dean tackle legends from around the world, but First Krysta takes us to her corner to discuss Cookie Run Kingdom, the phone game she has been obsessing over of late.

Then Laura takes us to an Incan Flood Myth from South America as we travel the world via myths and legends and each is followed by a story about that legend found on the internet. So join us in this wild rollicking episode where we find out if a Lung Mo is better than a Lorenzo Llama on this folklore heavy episode!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4670465/advertisement

Lao Tzu wrote: If you wish to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you wish to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation. This inspirational quote was posted on April 30th, 2013 on the Facebook page of Diane Staudte, a woman who many in her community may have considered an inspiration herself. A talented musician, a trained cardiac nurse, a mother of four and an essential member of the Redeemer Lutheran Church. And she was an even greater inspiration if you considered that in the past year, she had lost not only her husband, but her 26 year old son to sudden death. It makes sense, then, that Diane would be thinking about self-transformation right then. Making a new life out of the ashes of the old one. But no one could have realized how drastically she wanted to transform her life, and how far she would go to do it.

Synopsis Unless you're Tony Soprano, if your boss turns to you and says, “Murder can be fun,” the prudent reaction would be to: a) start looking for a new job, and b) wait for a discrete opportunity to call the police. But in 1975, when Alfred Hitchcock made that statement to composer John Williams, Williams probably just nodded in agreement. After all, it was a great honor to be asked by Alfred Hitchcock to write music for what would turn out to be the last film completed by the famous Master of Suspense. That film was “Family Plot,” and Williams completed its music for recording sessions at Universal Studios early in 1976. Williams recalled that the already-ailing Hitchcock stayed just an hour, pronounced the music “fine,” and said, “I'll leave this to you,” before departing. Now, film buffs will recall that Hitch, a notorious micro-manager, had abruptly fired composer Bernard Herrmann, his legendary former collaborator, during a recording session for his 1966 film “Torn Curtain,” when Hitchcock realized Herrmann had NOT followed his instructions for a trendy pop music score. “Family Plot,” was shown at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival but was not officially entered in the competition. Still, it's ironic that on today's date that year, the Festival's top prize, the coveted Palme d'Or, was awarded to “Taxi Driver,” a film by Martin Scorsese, with – you guessed it – music by Bernard Herrmann.
