Podcasts about Hitchcockian

The beginning of any month now seems like a light week for physical media, so Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski only have a few titles to talk about. They include the magnificent starpower of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in a comically Hitchcockian caper. Jack Nicholson does much more than order in a diner. There's an early LBGTQ film from William Friedkin and the financially successful but creatively bankrupt attempt at a live-action cartoon. Plus a new extensive documentary on John Carpenter's 1982 horror masterpiece tells you everything you wanted to know and then some.1:47 - Criterion (Charade (4K), Five Easy Pieces (4K))24:00 -- Cinematographe (The Boys in the Band 4K)33:16 - CreatorVC (The Thing Expanded)48:51 - Shout (The Flintstones (4K))1:04:55 - New TV on Blu-ray (Covert Affairs: The Complete Series, Doctor Who (2025): Season Two, The Creep Tapes (Season Two))1:09:14 - New Theatrical Titles on Blu-ray (Hoppers (4K), Protector)1:10:28 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Original Release Date: Monday 18 May 2026    Description:   On this second episode of Year 20 (“the year we get it right!”), Dean and Phil have crime on their minds! They start with an appreciation of director Jules Dassin's classic film noir Night and the City. Then a Hitchcockian thriller, Mirage, by Edward Dmytryk, the man largely responsible for Jules Dassin getting blacklisted gets analyzed. Both films show telltale signs of having been directed by men with quite different experiences of the Hollywood blacklist. A neo-noir that never disappoints is Robert Altman's Philip Marlowe adaptation The Long Goodbye. Dean and Phil discuss the film as a “satire of melancholy” and share many stories about the filmmakers and actors' remarkable approaches to telling the story. Another 1970s mystery film, the ill-fated Agatha about the real-life disappearance of the great mystery novelist Agatha Christie for 11 days in 1926 gets reviewed. The final suspense picture on the Chillpak crime blotter this week is Henri-Georges Clouzot's masterful The Wages Fear. Dean reviewed it several weeks back, and now it's Phil's turn to compare and contrast it with William Friedkin's 1977 adaptation of the same source material, Sorcerer. Finally, one new blockbuster, the crowd-pleasing The Devil Wears Prada 2 gets analyzed both as a legacy sequel and as a very hopeful harbinger for the summer movie season.

Join Alex and friend of the show Dr. Ed Hansen as they discuss the delightfully silly and usefully psychological High Anxiety (1977), Mel Brooks' send-up to the master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. The film stars Brooks as Dr. Richard Thorndyke, a world-renowned psychiatrist who begins a new career at the Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous. Joining him are his normal contributors, including Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, and Madeline Kahn. When Thorndyke is framed for murder, he must use all the Hitchcockian tools at his disposal to clear his name. Of course, no discussion of Hitchcock films can be made without a discussion of Freud, as well as the use of the term "High Anxiety", using humor as a means to cope with anxiety, the role of suspense to build a crescendo of anxiety, and a brief foray into institutionalization and its foibles.

Is Panic Room just Home Alone For Adults? David Fincher's 2002 home invasion thriller is sharper, darker, and weirder than you remember — and this week we're breaking down every inch of it. Brian, John, and returning guest Anastasia Elfman revisit one of the most underrated thrillers of the early 2000s. They cover Fincher's Hitchcockian direction, those impossibly fluid CGI camera moves, and the film's relentless tension-building — plus everything the IMDb synopsis conveniently left out. On the table this week: whether Jared Leto's cornrow-sporting Junior ruins the film or serves it (the panel is divided), why Forest Whitaker's Burnham is the most sympathetic criminal in cinema history, and why Dwight Yoakam's Raul was robbed of an Oscar. They also dig into the bearer bonds MacGuffin — yes, whoever physically holds them legally owns them, robbery be damned — and unpack the wild behind-the-scenes story of Nicole Kidman's knee injury, Jodie Foster filming while pregnant, and how Kristen Stewart ended up in the role that was originally cast very differently. Plus: diabetes as the fourth villain of Panic Room, the Home Alone propane explosion comparison, and what you would actually do if the cops showed up at your door while armed criminals watched you on camera. The episode closes with a tease of Cinema Psycho Show's 10th anniversary special — Brian and John are fixing Batman Forever. You heard that right.

This week in physical media, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski guide you through a week that includes a pair of lesser Peter Sellers efforts as well as a Southern melodrama known more for the way Marlon Brando is beaten up. There is also some Billy Dee Williams and River Phoenix and a little Bunuel. Cult audiences have a lot to cheer this week from the horror of the late 70s to romance of the early 80s. Keanu Reeves squares off against Al Pacino's devil and there is a lot of love for Kenneth Branagh's Hitchcockian mystery that may still remain his best and most entertaining film.1:24 - Criterion (Viridiana (4K))6:18 - Alliance (The Chase)13:38 - Synapse (Blue Sunshine (4K))19:30 - Shout (Devil's Advocate (4K))29:39 - Kino (Scott Joplin, The Return of the Pink Panther (4K), The Prisoner of Zenda, Somewhere in Time (4K), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, Dead Again (4K))1:20:46 - New TV & Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (Resident Alien (The Complete Series), Little Amelie or the Character of Rain, Little Trouble Girls)1:21:42 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

This week the cousins Williams review the iconic horror film, "The Birds," for their part two of the podcast's Hitchcockian Halloween. They keep it spooky with a recap of Netflix's "True Haunting", and reviews of "IT" and "Black Phone 2."

It's a Hitchcockian thriller that's also a spooky ghost party that's also a sad meditation on motherhood! Do these things go together? Who cares, Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer are here! Let's go back to the summer of 2000 (feels like the autumn of 94) for WHAT LIES BENEATH! Plus, let's talk about One Battle After Another, Roofman, Him, Highest 2 Lowest, The Long Walk, The Smashing Machine and more!

This October, Brandon and Lorin explore the spooky mind of Alfred Hitchcock through some of his most well-known works. This week, we review "North by Northwest," starring Cary Grant as a man embroiled in a felonious conspiracy of mistaken identity.

In this episode, we explore two early-2000s ghost stories that turned the haunted house genre inside out: What Lies Beneath (2000) and The Others (2001). Both films trade jump scares for psychological unease, unraveling domestic spaces where secrets, guilt, and repression give rise to the supernatural. We'll dig into how each story uses the perspective of its isolated female lead—played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman—to blur the line between haunting and madness. From Zemeckis's glossy Hitchcockian suspense to Amenábar's gothic restraint, we'll unpack their mirrored twists, themes of denial and revelation, and what these quiet thrillers say about grief, memory, and the ghosts we create ourselves.________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews the Hitchcockian horror film What Lies Beneath, directed by Robert Zemeckis.As it is spooky season (October aka Scary Movie Month) and Halloween is on the way, Anders Holmes will be talking about some of his favourite horror films in these solo Anders Reviews episodes. Horrors film that are some of his favourites, films that have made a big impression on him and films that people should check out. Whether they be fans of the genre or not.On this episode, Anders talks about one of his favourite horror films from the 2000s, a memorable film he watched as a child. He re-discovered it again in his thirties. What Lies Beneath was released in the year 2000. It stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer and, like previously mentioned, it was directed by Robert Zemeckis. The screenplay is credited to Sarah Kernochan and Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson). Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford star as Norman and Claire Spencer (not Foster as Anders accidentally states in the episode), two madly in love people in a seemingly perfect and happy marriage. Claire is a stay at home, who was once was part of a popular musical quartet, while Norman is a university professor working a lot on a project and neglects his wife. Prior to the events of the film, Claire was in a car accident the year before and still is troubled by it. After her daughter Caitlin moves off to college, she becomes suspicious of what is going on with their neighbours, The Feurs, when she notices Mrs Feur crying in their garden and then she isn't seen again. It's not long before Claire suspects the husband of wrong doing and begins to experience paranormal occurrences in her home. She feels that she is being haunted by a ghost that wishes to contact her. What Lies Beneath is a good old fashioned haunted house story that channels and honours Alfred Hitchcock. It blends Rear Window and also George Cukor's film Gaslight. Robert Zemeckis, who is no stranger to the horror genre, made this film during hiatus from filming Castaway with Tom Hanks who needed to lose weight for that project. The film was made for 100 million dollars and made 291 million dollars worldwide, despite mixed reviews. Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford give tremendous performances, with most of the critical praise hailing Michelle Pfeiffer as the MVP. Harrison Ford is cast against type and that particular bit of casting works to the film's advantage. It's best to go into this film blind and not watch any trailers or TV spots, as they do spoil aspects of the plot and ruin a few twists and red herrings. The movie is available to watch on DVD and it's also able to be viewed on streaming services: Disney Plus and The Criterion Channel (but only for October). We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more solo episodes from Anders during this year's spooky season. Stay tuned for our upcoming Fascism on Film episode on The Marriage of Maria Braun.

New York Times bestselling thriller writer Riley Sager, spoke to me about why he publishes under a pen name, how to write Hitchcockian suspense, and his latest "The House Across the Lake." Riley Sager is the bestselling author of six novels, most recently Home Before Dark and Survive the Night. His award-winning first novel, Final Girls, was a national and international bestseller that has been published in 30 countries. His latest novel, The House Across the Lake, has been named a most anticipated summer book by People, E! News, PureWow, CNN.com, CrimeReads, and many others.  It's been described by CrimeReads as "... a psychological thriller version of The Great Gatsby, featuring binoculars for more accurate across-the-lake spying, smaller gatherings for a shorter list of suspects, and a truly bat**** twist for more satisfying consumption." The House Across the Lake was inspired by Riley's "... own pandemic escapes to a cabin in rural Vermont [and] oozes with slow-burn Hitchcockian suspense before building to a finale that will leave readers reeling.

Concluding Issue 64 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. This is a Spotlight episode taking a deep dive into the vivid, wild and often controversial films of Brian De Palma. Calum from the Screen 1 podcast joins to talk about this supreme stylist of the 70s movie brats, his Hitchcockian influences and occasionally overcooked sensibilities, with a close look at two of our favourite films of his, Blow Out and Carlito's Way.  The other parts of the issue are already available, and the next issue will be available from September 25th. Check out Calum's Screen One Podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/4AeMfIFe2NF15hSPwhhTHY  And check out Double Reel's YouTube show Maximum Disc here: https://www.youtube.com/@DoubleReelFilm/playlists 

On this episode we wrap up our cask on Brian De Palma by discussing his most Hitchcockian film with the tense thriller, Body Double. Journey with us as we discuss the nods to Hitchcock, the wild plot of the film, and that insane Frankie Goes to Hollywood sequence. Why did he choose to make this film immediately after Scarface? Is this the director's masterpiece or is it too much of a slow burn? So pour some rye, grab a purple telescope, and get ready to "Relax." Cheers!

This week, we review The Bedroom Window (1987), Curtis Hanson's suspenseful neo-noir thriller steeped in voyeurism, deception, and moral ambiguity. Quentin Tarantino recommended it so we thought why not. Steve Guttenberg stars as Terry, a Baltimore businessman who becomes entangled in a murder investigation after his affair with his boss's wife, played by Isabelle Huppert, leads him to report a crime he didn't actually witness. Elizabeth McGovern co-stars as the potential next victim, drawing Terry deeper into a dangerous cat-and-mouse game.With a Hitchcockian setup of mistaken identity and unreliable perception, this film raises intriguing questions about truth, responsibility, and the cost of good intentions gone awry.Is seeing believing, or is lying for love a killer move?

This week, we talk about the meaning of "gaslighting" with the film that originated the term: George Cukor's 1944 film Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman as a woman slowly driven to the brink of madness by her abusive husband (Charles Boyer). This film also featured the cinematic debut (and first Oscar nod!) for Angela Lansbury, who turned 18 during filming. TW for discussions of domestic abuse and abusive relationships. Next week, one of the most Hitchcockian of the films we're discussing: Michael Powell's psychothriller Peeping Tom, which premiered two weeks before Psycho in 1960.

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.

Join hosts Justin Morgan and Chuck Phillips as they dive into the alluring depths of Park Chan-wook's Decision to Leave. This South Korean mystery masterfully weaves themes of obsession, longing, and moral ambiguity into a slow-burn tale of love and betrayal. In this episode, the hosts unpack the film's Hitchcockian echoes, its hypnotic visual style, and the poetic ambiguity of its unforgettable ending. From character motivations to narrative misdirection, this discussion is an essential listen for cinephiles and fans of moody, intricate storytelling.

It's Die Hard in a brownstone!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're breaking into PANIC ROOM with the help of a specialist: Shahir Daud - filmmaker, Fincher fanatic and host of the long-running show THE ONLY PODCAST ABOUT MOVIES!On their first night after moving in to a luxurious New York ‘townstone', recently divorced single mother Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her 11 year-old daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) are terrorized by a trio of mysterious burglars. When Meg and Sarah become aware of the intruders, they seek refuge in the house's high-tech ‘panic room', only to discover that the thing the thieves want most is inside that very room. Despite being more of a Hitchcockian thriller than a traditional action movie, PANIC ROOM is nonetheless filled with DIE HARD DNA – right down to the bearer bonds (the economics of which we're still trying to understand). The guys place this film in context among the wider careers of both director David Fincher and writer David Koepp, and analyze if it explores any of the thematic obsession of both of these storied creators. They discuss the performances of the movie's eclectic cast and go deep on Fincher's groundbreaking filmmaking techniques. As always events culminate with the DIE HARD OSCARS and the delightfully devilish DOUBLE JEOPARDY TRIVIA QUIZ. Fincher-philes rise up! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp2kKzrCm44At the time of release, PANIC ROOM is streaming on Fubo, and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies Hosted on Acast.

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 this episode of The Clean Slate Podcast, we dive into Martin Scorsese's 1991 psychological thriller Cape Fear. From Robert De Niro's haunting turn as Max Cady to the film's bold use of religious symbolism, extreme violence, and Hitchcockian tension, we explore what makes this remake so unforgettable. Is Cape Fear a masterpiece of suspense or a stylish misfire? We break it all down — themes, performances, direction, and how it compares to the 1962 original.

Why does discussing the overlooked 1991 classic “Dead Again” feel like we’re living a past life? Maybe it’s the shock of seeing young Sir Kenneth Branagh (attempting a weird American accent) and Dame Emma Thompson. Maybe it’s Sir Derek Jacobi making us wonder if that stutter is an “I, Claudius” reference. Maybe it’s the whole romantic fantasy thing, with a Hitchcockian past intruding on a 1990s present. Jason Snell with Glenn Fleishman, Erika Ensign, Annette Wierstra, Dr. Drang and Shannon Sudderth.
