As another Halloween approaches, Sophia and Nick are excited to celebrate Hitchcock-tober once again! This time, they marvel at the outstanding collaboration between the famed director and the costume designer with the most Oscar nominations and wins, Edith Head. Their eleven films together spanned three decades, multiple studios, and the transition from B/W to color. Listen to find out how Head uses different materials and colors to create looks that accentuate an actor's figure, develop a character's identity, and provide narrative function, all the while dazzling audience with unforgettable designs.

Rope is an interesting movie in Alfred Hitchcock’s œuvre. It’s his first color picture. It’s one of 13 movies he made based on plays, and it’s one of four movies he made that are set basically entirely in single locations (along with Lifeboat, Dial M for Murder, and Rear Window). But of the four single-location pictures, Rope is the only one that Hitchcock made to really seem like a filmed play. It unfolds in real-time, in one room, in long, continuous shots that are edited together in ways that are meant to hide most of the cuts. As Hartford Stage’s new adaptation of the play Rope is based on opens, we present a conversation taped on their stage, in front of an audience, about Alfred Hitchcock, his movies in general, and Rope, the movie and the play, in particular.

The filmmaker John Carpenter has a whole shelf of cult classics: “They Live,” “The Thing,” “Escape from New York,” “Halloween,” and so many more. And while he hasn't directed a new movie in more than a decade, Carpenter has continued working in the film industry, composing scores for other directors (Bong Joon Ho recently approached him about a horror movie). He has also released albums of cinematic music—no film required—often working with his son, Cody Carpenter, and the musician Daniel Davies, his godson. The New Yorker Radio Hour producer Adam Howard talks with Carpenter ahead of the launch of his new small tour, just in time for Halloween, and they discuss the unusual shift he made from directing to composing. “It's a transition from pain to joy. Directing movies is very, very stressful,” Carpenter explains. “Playing music in front of a live audience—it's joy. It's just joy.” Carpenter suggests three inspirational scores from film history: Bebe and Louis Barron's electronic music for “Forbidden Planet”; Bernard Herrmann work on Hitchcock's “Vertigo”; and Hans Zimmer's music for “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.”

Tread Perilously's tour of slashers on television continues with an episode The Alfred Hitchcock Hour called "An Unlocked Window." When a slasher targets nurses in an unidentified town, Stella and Betty find themselves tending to a sick professor at his remote home in the countryside. Also helping out are a groundskeeper, Sam, and there's Maude, the housekeeper. But when Betty discovers the oxygen tank is low, Sam leaves for the city and the three women are terrorized by the news that the killer is within two miles of the house. Did forgetful Stella lock all the windows and all the doors? Is the killer already inside? Erik and Justin discuss Hitchcock as a problematic fave. Erik is shocked to learn the story is not inspired by Richard Speck. The pair also inspect the reliance on twists in thrillers. They also rank the Predator movies. Justin admits he watched Halloween Kills more than once. More DCU casting wishes occur. The longer runtime of 1960s television proves to be a problem once again. Justin's knowledge of medieval weaponry comes into play. Actor Louise Latham proves to be the episode MVP for Erik thanks to her performance as Maude and more horror movie discussions lead to the weeds.

Our Spooky Szn continues its deep dive into the classics with one of the most celebrated, analyzed, and ultimately unsettling films ever made: Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo (1958)." While today it's hailed as a cinematic masterpiece, this film was a notoriously slow burn for original audiences, and Mackenzie and Lemar are ready to dig into exactly why it took so long for the world to catch up to Hitchcock's genius.This week, we're dissecting the very personal psychological thriller that shifts from a detective mystery into an agonizing study of obsession, control, and erotic fixation. We'll be discussing the brilliant technical innovations - like the famous "Vertigo Effect" - and how James Stewart's dark turn as Scottie, coupled with Kim Novak's haunting performance, creates a vortex of guilt and desire. We explore the symbolism of color, the genius of Bernard Herrmann's score, and why the plot reveal two-thirds of the way through is less a twist and more a doorway into true psychological horror.If you love a film that demands repeat viewings, are fascinated by cinema history, or just want to hear a deep discussion on the dark heart of obsession, this episode is a can't-miss part of your Spooky Szn watch list.

Il ou elle ne doit rien à personne, parce qu'il ou elle n'a rien à revendiquer, rien à vendre et que personne ne l'aime. J'ai vu des critiques arrondir les angles d'une interview, couper ce qui pouvait être (un peu) choquant et ça m'a servi de leçon. J'écris des livres pour parler en mon nom, pour y aller à fond. »Après 21 pages sur Coppola en 2016 (dans un bouquin où elle était la seule femme parmi neuf auteurs), et entre les dizaines d'articles du monumental Hitchcock la totale en 2019 (co-signé avec trois complices de la Cinémathèque française), Murielle Joudet se donne enfin le premier rôle via deux ouvrages consacrés à deux actrices majuscules. D'abord Isabelle Huppert, avec Vivre ne nous regarde pas en 2018, puis Gena Rowlands en 2021, avec On aurait dû dormir, récompensé par le Centre National de la Cinématographie.Ce deuxième épisode dissèque ce remarquable diptyque contre l'ennui, pensé pour honorer des performances qui « tournent autour de la folie en s'aventurant très loin dans l'idée de se rendre incompréhensibles ». En montrant par exemple comment Gena Rowlands, égérie du cinéma de son compagnon John Cassavetes, parvient à traduire physiquement le « flux de conscience » cher à Virginia Woolf. « Son corps s'infléchit à la moindre pensée : elle ne ravale aucun état d'âme, les laisse infuser, fait du montage d'humeurs à même son corps, traversée par une violence inouïe.

And…we're back! Did you miss us? You can say so—it's OK. Yes, it's the return of Vintage Sand, your film history podcast, with our first episode since May. It was a frantic and wonderful summer, but now the leaves are falling and it's time for us to get back to what we love to do, with a double episode no less than 25 years in the making. That's right, fellow film fanatics; it's Vintage Sand's Top Ten Films of the 21st Century (So Far). And once again, a major cultural institution has stolen our ideas! When last we three met in May, we had decided to do these episodes. But fate intervened and delayed us, and, sure enough, when we opened up the “New York Times” in mid-July, there was their best of the century list so far. This has happened to us far too often to be coincidence—anyone know any good intellectual property lawyers out there? And that “Times” list was truly interesting in several ways. First of all, we much preferred the fan's list of the Top 100 (to my great pleasure it included “La La Land”, “Blade Runner 2049”, “Sinners” and “Midsommar”). But, in what was perhaps a bit of quiet backlash to the 2022 “Sight & Sound” Poll, there were only a handful of directors of color, and fewer female directors than one might have expected. On the other hand, the clear “winner” of the Times poll was Christopher Nolan, the only director with five films on the list (the Coens, PTA, Alfonso Cuarón each had four). Nolan is the Hitchcock of our times, in the sense that he is one of those rare directors who both receives critical acclaim and puts asses in the seats. Now if he would only put those blaring soundtracks a little lower in the audio mix so that older, cranky audience members such as us have a shot at hearing the dialogue… Ultimately, the work we put into creating these lists revealed a surprising and heartening result. From long before the time we started Vintage Sand back in 2018, all we've heard is doom and gloom about the state of cinema this century. “Film is dead” because folks are watching on their phones, or because of the algorithm, or because of streaming, or because of the emphasis on the global film marketplace over the domestic, or because our attention spans have vaporized, and on and on. Not that those are not real issues, but the death of film has been continuously reported since sound arrived roughly a century ago. And let me tell you, dear and faithful listeners: we had an incredibly difficult time narrowing down our respective lists to 25, let alone 10. We were overwhelmed with the number of creative, innovative, and moving films we had to choose from, films that will stand the test of time as well as any you could mention from the imagined “Golden Ages” of film. So our message, in the end, is one of optimism. Film is still a vital and glorious art form, and while you may have to dig around a bit more than you used to to find the greatness, it is clearly there. Enjoy these two episodes, and join us in facing the future of film with anticipation, excitement and joy.

Steven Pinker returns to Conversations with Tyler with an argument that common knowledge—those infinite loops of "I know that you know that I know"—is the hidden infrastructure that enables human coordination, from accepting paper money to toppling dictators. But Tyler wonders: if most real-world coordination works fine without recursively looping (a glance at a traffic circle), if these models break down with the slightest change in assumptions, and if anonymous internet posters are making correct but uncomfortable truths common knowledge when society might function better with noble lies, is Pinker's theory really capturing how coordination works—and might we actually need less common knowledge, not more? Tyler and Steven probe these dimensions of common knowledge—Schelling points, differential knowledge, benign hypocrisies like  a whisky bottle in a paper bag—before testing whether rational people can actually agree (spoiler: they can't converge on Hitchcock rankings despite Aumann's theorem), whether liberal enlightenment will reignite and why, what stirring liberal thinkers exist under the age 55, why only a quarter of Harvard students deserve A's, how large language models implicitly use linguistic insights while ignoring linguistic theory, his favorite track on Rubber Soul, what he'll do next, and more.

In this episode, Janice Campbell sits down with Professor Carol Reynolds to explore the powerful role music and the arts play in a child's education. Together, they unpack how music isn't just a “nice extra,” but an essential part of helping kids connect with history, science, and even math. Carol shares how rhythm, sound, and story all work together to shape not only knowledge, but also confidence and joy in learning. If you've ever wondered how to integrate music and literature more fully into your homeschool, or you're looking for encouragement that it's not too late to begin, this conversation will inspire you. By the end, you'll be reminded that education is about more than checking boxes—it's about nurturing the soul through beauty, rhythm, and story.

And…we're back! Did you miss us? You can say so—it's OK. Yes, it's the return of Vintage Sand, your film history podcast, with our first episode since May. It was a frantic and wonderful summer, but now the leaves are falling and it's time for us to get back to what we love to do, with a double episode no less than 25 years in the making. That's right, fellow film fanatics; it's Vintage Sand's Top Ten Films of the 21st Century (So Far). And once again, a major cultural institution has stolen our ideas! When last we three met in May, we had decided to do these episodes. But fate intervened and delayed us, and, sure enough, when we opened up the “New York Times” in mid-July, there was their best of the century list so far. This has happened to us far too often to be coincidence—anyone know any good intellectual property lawyers out there? And that “Times” list was truly interesting in several ways. First of all, we much preferred the fan's list of the Top 100 (to my great pleasure it included “La La Land”, “Blade Runner 2049”, “Sinners” and “Midsommar”). But, in what was perhaps a bit of quiet backlash to the 2022 “Sight & Sound” Poll, there were only a handful of directors of color, and fewer female directors than one might have expected. On the other hand, the clear “winner” of the Times poll was Christopher Nolan, the only director with five films on the list (the Coens, PTA, Alfonso Cuarón each had four). Nolan is the Hitchcock of our times, in the sense that he is one of those rare directors who both receives critical acclaim and puts asses in the seats. Now if he would only put those blaring soundtracks a little lower in the audio mix so that older, cranky audience members such as us have a shot at hearing the dialogue… Ultimately, the work we put into creating these lists revealed a surprising and heartening result. From long before the time we started Vintage Sand back in 2018, all we've heard is doom and gloom about the state of cinema this century. “Film is dead” because folks are watching on their phones, or because of the algorithm, or because of streaming, or because of the emphasis on the global film marketplace over the domestic, or because our attention spans have vaporized, and on and on. Not that those are not real issues, but the death of film has been continuously reported since sound arrived roughly a century ago. And let me tell you, dear and faithful listeners: we had an incredibly difficult time narrowing down our respective lists to 25, let alone 10. We were overwhelmed with the number of creative, innovative, and moving films we had to choose from, films that will stand the test of time as well as any you could mention from the imagined “Golden Ages” of film. So our message, in the end, is one of optimism. Film is still a vital and glorious art form, and while you may have to dig around a bit more than you used to to find the greatness, it is clearly there. Enjoy these two episodes, and join us in facing the future of film with anticipation, excitement and joy.
