It's the last stretch of the film, the part where Žižek tries to bring everything together, and it thus gives Abby, Dan, and Patrick a chance to assess the Guide in its entirety. How compelling is the film's grand unifying theory of subjectivity, lack, and the work of film as a medium that teaches us “how to desire”? What does it mean that all films are ultimately, per Žižek, about the “impossibility of making a film” as such? What's at stake in for Žižek in the film of Hitchcock and Lynch specifically, and why do the films so neatly showcase the perils of both getting exactly what you want and not knowing what you want after all? What are Žižek's blind spots vis-à-vis gender, violence, and comedy? And what's really going on with that favorite adverb of his – “precisely”?Have you noticed that Freud is back?

The film stars Farley Granger as a tennis pro, Guy Haines, who meets stranger Bruno Antony on... you guessed it, a train! Bruno hates his dad, Guy wants to divorce his wife, and well, Bruno tinks they are going to share a pair of murders — criss-cross! Intrigue erupts as Bruno follows through, but Guy thought he was joking. The episode explores the Freudian theory Hitchcock was a fan of, along with the Dark Triad personality theory.

This time on  Ron's Amazing Stories, we're diving into one of Alfred Hitchcock's most celebrated thrillers—Shadow of a Doubt. Originally released as a film in 1943 and starring Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright, the story gets a radio makeover in the Screen Director's Playhouse adaptation from November 1950. This time, none other than Cary Grant steps into the role of Uncle Charlie, bringing his trademark charm with an unsettling twist. What makes Shadow of a Doubt stand out in Hitchcock's catalog is its unique suspense style. We, the audience, know from the beginning that Uncle Charlie has a dark secret. The real tension comes from watching his niece slowly uncover the horrifying truth about the man she once adored. It's a masterclass in slow-burn suspense, set against the deceptively cozy backdrop of small-town America. On the podcast today, you'll hear: Background on Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 masterpiece. Cary Grant's turn as Uncle Charlie in the 1950 radio adaptation. A full presentation of the Screen Director's Playhouse episode of Shadow of a Doubt. So, grab your headphones, settle into your favorite chair, and prepare for a suspenseful ride into Hitchcock territory. As always, stay tuned after the play for my thoughts and a few laughs to lighten the mood.

This week on Movie Mistrial, we spiral into obsession, illusion, and psychological suspense as we explore Alfred Hitchcock's enigmatic classic, Vertigo.Vertigo is a haunting, visually stunning meditation on identity, love, and control. With Bernard Herrmann's iconic score, hypnotic cinematography, and James Stewart's deeply layered performance, Hitchcock crafts a dreamlike thriller that continues to captivate—and disturb—audiences and critics alike. It's no surprise it frequently tops lists of the greatest films ever made.While revered by many, Vertigo's slow pacing, opaque characters, and unsettling themes of manipulation and male fantasy can be off-putting. Some viewers may find its ambiguity more frustrating than intriguing, and its treatment of female characters invites complex, modern criticism.Join us as we unravel the twists and turns of Vertigo—is it Hitchcock's true masterpiece, or an overrated exercise in style over substance?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

The album is a psychedelic mix of philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature, and film through Slavoj Žižek, Lacan, Hegel, Hitchcock, Melville, Antigone, Hamlet, Poe, Blade Runner, Chopin, La Jetée…and even features guest vocals from Žižek himself.We're talking the critique of pure desire, the strange logic of retroactivity, failed interpellations, hysterics, the split within the law, and future histories…Russ is Associate Professor of English at Seton Hall, co-editor with Slavoj of Subject Lessons, editor of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Literature but Were Afraid to Ask Žižek, and the band Misconstruity.Big thanks to Russ — and if you're quick, the first two listeners to email zizekandsoon@gmail.com will get a copy of the album.And yes, Tim is still away…last I heard he reckoned that he's being followed by a chorus of old men who keep lamenting his decisions and spoiling the plot of his life…however I want to take this chance to say that Tim's first book has just been published with Palgrave: A Lacanian-Hegelian Perspective on Peace and Conflict Studies.

Michael's conversation with longtime sportswriter and bestselling author Michael Bamberger, author of "The Man Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a Fairy Tale." In his relatively young career, M. Night Shyamalan achieved phenomenal commercial and critical success. His films 'The Sixth Sense,' 'Unbreakable,' 'Signs,' and 'The Village' grossed over $1.5 billion (at the time of this 2006 interview) and reinvented the thriller genre. Because Shyamalan has worked outside of the Hollywood system, however, his filmmaking habits and personality have remained largely unknown. But reporter Michael Bamberger obtained unprecedented access to Shyamalan during the tumultuous production of his film Lady in the Water, and in The Man Who Heard Voices exposes the struggles and triumphs of this modern-day Hitchcock at work. Listen to Bamberger talk the book here. Original air date 3 August 2006. The book was published in July 2006.

DROP follows Violet (Meghann Fahy), a widow/single mom going on her first date after the violent death of her abusive husband.All looks promising across the dinner table: Henry (Brendon Sklenar) is a charming, attractive, thoughtful guy. He's a photographer for the mayor. He bought a trinket for her 5-year-old. He's got a good wit. Perfect first outing, right?The problem lies in Violet's' phone. She's receiving these anonymous airdrops from someone in the restaurant. What starts as a couple of dumb memes quickly devolves as the dropper gets personal and eventually instructs her to kill Henry or the masked man in her house will kill her son and sister. One glance of her security cameras confirms the worst. The game is on.Who's doing this? Why her? Why Henry? How's Violet gonna save her family? This is the wind of the car that's gonna send us through DROP's Hitchcock-inspired story. I enjoy Fahy and Sklenar's chemistry & the production design dazzles my comfort-seeking soul. However, bringing Violet's panicked state to the screen results in some distracting lighting setups, framing and VFX work (You've likely never before seen cell phone text glare onto 70% of the screen across multiple instances.) The end of the movie goes for entertaining, if stupid, gonzo; The blend of serious subjects and pulpy execution leaves a bad taste in my mouth.It's not a worst offender by any means, so I'd mildly recommend DROP as a watch with the kind of people who love tossing themselves into wild scenarios, calling out their own escape plans, critiquing the movie's lapses in logic. Click play on a chill Friday night and I don't think you'll be so disappointed.DROP is currently available to purchase in 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD formats at your favorite home video retailer.

“Look, I don't know what happened, but I own a motel not too far from here, and you'd be welcome to spend the night in one of the empty rooms if you'd like.” We watched Psycho II, directed by Richard Franklin, and suddenly we're hungry for toasted cheese sandwiches. It's been 23 years since Norman Bates was put away, and he's been declared sane! Now Norman is integrating back into society, but someone won't stand by and let that happen. Anthony Perkins and Vera Miles are back, reprising their roles from the original, and they are both forces to be reckoned with. Perkins is playing Norman Bates with nuance and integrating just enough “Norman-isms” from the original performance, while Vera is eating up each scene like she is berating Hitchcock himself. Meg Tilly is also doing some fine work in the best Joyce DeWitt haircuts and cowl-neck sweaters the early 80s had to offer. This may not be “The Godfather Part II,” but as far as sequels over twenty years in the making go, it's a ton of fun.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna
