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.

Erratic, swirling flocks of flying gulls look like a Hitchcock film. They're actually just catching bugs.
For our season finale, we look back upon our year-and-a-half journey through the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
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.
BUY THE ALBUM HERE! Alright, this week we're drinking the blood from Oedipus's eyes with returning guest and friend of the show, the great Russell Sbriglia to talk about his new album Critique of Pure Desire which, according to Ryan Engley, sounds like if King Crimson were throwing an Eyes Wide Shut party. 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. It's now out in the world and you should all check it out. Congrats, Tim. Extra fish-head soup for you!GET TIM'S BOOK HERE!See you in Paris, Ž&…

This week we finally have Jen on the pod to talk about two Hitchcock classics!
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.

Intro Cassilda y la araña Cordelia. 🕷🕸 Hemos recuperado este inquietante relato del maestro Robert Bloch, y le hemos dado nueva vida en Historias para ser leídas. 'El muerto viviente', Robert Bloch, un relato de vampiros publicado en el año 1967 en Sanguinarius. Ya de joven publicó relatos en revistas pulp, y elaboró fanzines sobre ciencia ficción. Formó parte del círculo de admiradores de H.P. Lovecraft, con quien se carteaba y por el que fue muy influenciado en una primera época, si bien desarrolló posteriormente un estilo muy propio. Trabajó como guionista cinematográfico y también como adaptador de sus propias novelas, siendo ejemplo famoso la adaptación de Psicosis, que sería dirigida por Hitchcock. Logró numerosos premios a su labor literaria, como el Hugo y el Bram Stoker. Fue presidente de la Asociación de Escritores de Misterio de América.

Blamison are back! We are digging in to a lesser known Hitchcock film 1944's Lifeboat and, well, let's just say it wasn't what we were expecting. Jamison does a free-form opening for the episode and Blake waxes philosophical about why Hitchcock is revered and Shyamalan is not. Oh, and we talk about John Steinbeck's misgivings about being attributed to the writing of this movie.Other topics of discussion: our favorite songs of the year so far, parenting (duh!) and the new film Weapons.Clip: Jamison doing a spoken trailer for a partially fake movie.

For the first of our Hitchcockian films, we discuss the best "Hitchcock film not directed by Hitchcock": Stanley Donen's Charade (1963), a somewhat satirical, fantastically entertaining globe-trotting thriller with a stellar cast featuring Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, and Walter Matthau. Next week we'll be chatting about Gaslight (1944), which somehow Hitchcock also did not direct.

Pero, ¿cómo surgió el personaje de Norman Bates? ¿Qué tan cierto es que el escritor se inspiró en un asesino real?

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!

“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.

On this episode of Parallax Views, J.G. Michael is joined by writer and self-described film analyst Albert Lanier to discuss his work on the blog The Final Cut and his Retro Reviews website. We kick things off by exploring why Albert prefers the term “film analyst” over “movie reviewer,” delving into what it means to engage deeply with cinema rather than simply judge it. From there, we dive into his thoughtful takes on: Psycho II, the surprising and often overlooked sequel to Hitchcock's classic, and how it rethinks Norman Bates for a new era. Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, a wild blend of sci-fi, horror, and eroticism that could only have come out of the 80s. The heyday of raunchy 80s comedies, what they reflected about the culture at the time, and why they endure (or don't). Split Image, a lesser-known thriller about cults that holds up as both a tense drama and a cultural artifact of its period. It's a conversation that ranges from cult cinema (and movies about cults) to the philosophy of film criticism, nostalgia, and why some forgotten gems deserve a second look.

The Art of Pure Cinema: Hitchcock and His Imitators (Oxford University Press) is the first book-length study to examine the historical foundations and stylistic mechanics of pure cinema. Author Bruce Isaacs, Associate Professor of Film Studies and Director of the Film Studies Program at the University of Sydney, explores the potential of a philosophical and artistic approach most explicitly demonstrated by Hitchcock in his later films, beginning with Hitchcock's contact with the European avant-garde film movement in the mid-1920s. Tracing the evolution of a philosophy of pure cinema across Hitchcock's most experimental works - Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds, Marnie, and Frenzy - Isaacs rereads these works in a new and vital context. In addition to this historical account, the book presents the first examination of pure cinema as an integrated stylistics of mise en scène, montage, and sound design. The films of so-called Hitchcockian imitators like Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and Brian De Palma are also examined in light of a provocative claim: that the art of pure cinema is only fully realized after Hitchcock.

In the first segment, a returning Michael Koresky ("Films of Endearment"), the Museum of the Moving Image's editorial director, with his latest book "Sick and Dirty: Hollywood's Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness" (Bloomsbury, 2025). The book is an original history celebrating the persistence of queerness onscreen, behind the camera, and between the lines during the dark days of the Hollywood Production Code. From the 1930s to the 1960s, the Motion Picture Production Code severely restricted what Hollywood cinema could depict. This included 'any inference' of the lives of homosexuals. Gay activist Vito Russo famously condemned Hollywood's censorship regime, lambasting many midcentury films as the bigoted products of his titular “Celluloid Closet.” Koresky reexamines these scorned films to tell the story of how filmmakers, straight and queer, in-the-closet and out-in-the-open, smuggled queer themes and ideas into their work, incrementally paving the way for recognition and representation. There is more to the movies during this period of popular filmmaking than meets the eye: The Golden Age set in motion many of the ways we still talk about queerness in the twenty-first century. In this insightful, wildly entertaining book, cinema historian Michael Koresky finds new meaning in 'problematic”' classics of the Code era like Hitchcock's "Rope," Minnelli's "Tea and Sympathy", and—bookending the period and anchoring Koresky's narrative—William Wyler's two adaptations of "The Children's Hour," Lillian Hellman's provocative hit play about a pair of schoolteachers accused of lesbianism. Lifting up the under-appreciated queer filmmakers, writers, and actors of the era, Koresky finds artists who are long overdue for reevaluation. Through his brilliant analysis, "Sick and Dirty" reveals the 'bad seeds' of queer cinema to be surprisingly, even gleefully subversive, reminding us, in an age of book bans and gag laws, that nothing makes queerness speak louder than its opponents' bids to silence it. In the second segment, Filmwax friend Josh Karp returns once again to discuss his latest article for the online magazine, Air Mail: "The Miracle at the Truck Stop", about the long shuttered Burt Reynolds Theater in Jupiter, Florida. At the height of his fame, Burt Reynolds had a dream: to open a dinner theater in the middle of nowhere! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szjlaU00vKw
