Games? Must we? This week we're leaving Spooktober behind us and kicking off No-Theme-ber with a bang, as King Bob frontman and Roxy Fever host Jackson McDonald returns with our second Hitchcock in just three weeks as he redeems himself by bringing a cross-country spy thriller to the table that set the template for summer thrills for everything that's come after it. Yes, it's 1959's North by Northwest, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, written by Ernest Lehman, and starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Leo G. Carroll and Martin Landau. A classic mistaken identity thriller, Hitchcock is recombining story elements from a number of spy films of his past, leaving one final stamp on the genre before turning his focus back to horror. The end result is a movie that has its fingerprints all over not just the Mission: Impossible franchise, but what we expect from blockbuster entertainment period. Plus: Jackson and JMo combine for theatrical field trips to The Wild Robot and Venom 3: The Last Dance, while Hayley's still buzzing over a visit to the Video Stop in Watrous, Saskatchewan. Listen to King Bob's new album, Rookie: linktr.ee/allhailkingbob Other works referenced in this episode include The Birds, The Stand, Longlegs, Us, Shutter Island, Malignant, The Thing, Star Wars, Fargo, High Fidelity, The Black Phone, Invitation to Hell, Casa Bonita Mi Amor, 6 Days to Air, Where We Call Home, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Vertigo, Rear Window, Secret Window, Trap, Koyaanisqatsi, Family Guy, Mad Men, Rope, Charade, Big Trouble in Little China, Total Recall, Hail Caesar!, Burn After Reading, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, The Maltese Falcon, Jaws, Rebecca, and The 39 Steps, among others. We'll be back next week as No-Theme-ber continues with the Steve Martin rom-com Roxanne, famously filmed in Nelson, BC (or at least famously in this part of the world), a selection brought to us by beloved guest Rachel Hadaway, who will be joining us for that one. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
This week, after John briefly discusses "Goodrich", the new Michael Keaton picture written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, the boys take on another Hitchcock classic to highlight the film year 1959. Chosen by our random year generator, 1959 was a doozy for world and civil news, making a mistaken identity spy thriller the perfect film to highlight. You'll have to listen to see if the boys think this film sits on the Mount Rushmore (get it?) of Hitchcock's classics. Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Book Vs. Movie: The Parent Trap The 1949 Novel by Erich Kastner Vs the 1961 Disney Classic Film The Margos are twinning this week talking about Lottie/Lisa & Sharon/Susan--the lead characters from the Erich Kastner german novel Das Doppelte Lottchen. The author's life is fascinating and we discuss it in this episode. A pacifist who fought for Germany in WW1, Kastner became a leftist, pacifist who warned about german authoritarianism. The Nazi party actually burned his books and forbade him to work during WW2. The story that will soon be known as The Parent Trap is about twin girls who meet at summer camp and learn they are sisters and a product of a divorced family. They decide to switch places (and homes) to get to know the parent they never met before. Also, to bring their parents back together. The book features illustrations of Walter Trier which really brings the story to life. It's considered a classic in children's literature and Kastner earned the Hans Christian Anderson Award for writing in 1960 and was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature four times in his lifetime. The 1961 film was written and directed by David Swift and features an incredible performance by 15-year-old Hayley Mills who would go on to be a Disney superstar. (We don't touch on the 1998 remake with Lindsay Lohan, sorry for those fans!) So, between the novel and the movie--which did we prefer? In this ep the Margos discuss: The life story of Erich Kastner The basic outline of the story Biggest differences between book & movie. Starring: Hayley Mills (Sharon & Susan,) Brain Keith (Mitch Evers,) Maureen O'Hara (Maggie McKendrick,) Joanna Barnes (Vicky Robinson,) Charlie Ruggles (Charles McKendrick,) Cathleen Nesbitt (Louise McKendrick,) Una Merkel (Verbena the Housekeeper,) Leo G.

DADDY ISSUES: “Kobayashi Maru”. Fathers and sons. Husbands and wives. Wives and sons. Friends and lovers. Set against the background of the military. Sounds like it’s time for Episode 51 of Pop Art, the podcast where my guest will choose a movie from popular culture and I’ll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. This time, I am happy to welcome back as my guest, screenwriter and blogger, Paul Zeidman. Paul has chosen the second entry in the Star Trek movie franchise Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, while I have chosen the John Ford classic, the last in his calvary trilogy, Rio Grande. Both films about fathers not only facing battle, but also coming to terms with an estranged son. And in this episode we ponder such questions as: What is Captain Kirk’s address? Why did Ford make Rio Grande? What did Ricardo Montalban find frustrating in making The Wrath of Kahn? Why were the Sons of the Pioneers used in Rio Grande? What plotting error wasn’t realized until late in the filming of …Kahn? What is a Leo G. Carroll and would you want to be one? Why was Star Trek II more profitable than Star Trek I? What did John Wayne consider Rio Grande a parable of? Where did they get Kahn’s men for the movie?

Book Vs Movie: “Father of the Bride” The 1949 Novel Vs the 1950 Elizabeth Taylor Classic (Okay, we mention the 90s remake as well!) Love is in the air and the Margos are ready for romance with the book & movie Father of the Bride. Our focus is the book by Edward Streeter and the movie directed by Vincent Minelli that stars Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. (The 90s remake with Steve Martin and Martin Short is a part of the conversation as well because--duh!) The book & film from 1950 focus on Stanley T. Banks who is married (to wife Ellie) with three grown children when his 24-year-old daughter Kay announces her engagement to Buckley Dunstan. Buckley seems like a nice man from a good family but Kay's parents worry about him providing for her but he soon wins them over. The hijinks of the story happen when Stanley and Ellie Banks agree to save costs by opening up their home for the reception--for over 250 people. In the end, Stanley's home is so crowded that he misses his chance to kiss the bride before she leaves for her honeymoon. She does manage to call him from the airport just in time. Ah, romance! So between the book and the film--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out! In this ep the Margos discuss: The background of the author Edward Streeter The casting of Elizabeth Taylor, a former child star who got married for the first time at the film's release The wedding traditions honored in the film The cast: Spencer Tracy (Stanley T. Banks,) Joan Bennett (Ellie Banks,) Elizabeth Taylor (Kay Banks,) Don Taylor (Buckley Dunstan,) Billie Burke (Doris Dunstan,) Russ Tamblyn (Tommy Banks,) and Leo G. Carroll as Mr. Missoula.

Agents Scott and Cam hop in a cropduster and chase after Cary Grant with the Hitchcock classic, North by Northwest.Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

This week we discussed the Alfred Hitchcock classic, North By Northwest starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint from 1959. This thriller is know for the iconic crop duster scene you've seen everywhere. It is listed as one of AFI's Top 100 Films of all time, AFI's Top Ten Mysteries, AFI's Top 100 Thrills as well as in 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Schneider. Needless to say, this is a must see film. I think nowadays too many people ignore the classics because they are black and white and they don't have the technology they have today, but honestly so many films stand the test of time, there's a reason there are so many classics on top lists. Also, this is an Alfred Hitchcock film, I mean he brought us Psycho, The Birds, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, Vertigo, Rebecca, Marnie, The Trouble with Harry, Dial M for Murder, and so many more. It's a shame that it ends up being like pulling teeth to get younger generations to watch something made before the 90s, let alone before the 2000s. Although some of them seem to know quotes very well, but couldn't tell you anything else. North by Northwest was written by Ernest Lehman who did other classics like West Side Story, Sabrina, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Hello, Dolly!, and The Sound of Music. This man clearly knew what he was doing. Hitchcock also knows how to cast for his films. We have Cary Grant who did such films as The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, To Catch a Thief, Charade, Arsenic and Old Lace and countless others. Eva Marie Saint who was in On the Waterfront, Superman Returns, and Winter's Tale. Also James Mason (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, A Star is Born 1954 version), Jessie Royce Landis (To Catch a Thief), Leo G. Carroll (Strangers on a Train, The Parent Trap, Rebecca, Spellbound, A Christmas Carol), Josephine Hutchinson (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), Philip Ofer (The Ghost and Mr. Chicken), Martin Landau (Mission Impossible series, Sleepy Hollow, Treasure Island), and Edward Platt (Get Smart, Pollyanna, Rebel Without a Cause). 20th Century Limited Cocktail: This was a cocktail created by a British bartender named C.A. Tuck in 1937, it was named in honor of the Twentieth Century Limited train which ran between New York City and Chicago from 1902 until 1967. 3/4 oz Lemon Juice 1/2 oz Creme de Cacao (Godiva was used for this episode) 3/4 oz Kina Lillet or Lillet Blanc (Vermouth was used for this episode, similar tasting notes) 1 1/2 London Dry Gin Shake over ice and double strain into a coup glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon. North by Northwest Cocktail (Drinks mentioned in the film): Martini Large glass of Bourbon Gibson (Fill a shaker with ice, then add gin and vermouth. Stir well, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an onion.) Scotch Drinking Game: Whenever a character gets inside a vehicle If and when alcohol is mentioned When Mr. Thornhill insults someone Finish your drink when Mr. Thornhill is forced to finish his So grab a Gibson, sit down, kick back and relax while we discuss North by Northwest. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/linedrunk/support
Welcome to Episode 56 of We Watched A Thing. Join us as we catch the train, meet a weirdo, and accidentally agree to a murder swap, all while chatting about the 1951 Hitchcock classic 'Strangers on a Train'. Strangers on a Train is a 1951 American psychological thriller film noir produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and based on the 1950 novel Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith. It was shot in the autumn of 1950 and released by Warner Bros. on June 30, 1951. The film stars Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, and Robert Walker, and features Leo G. Carroll, the director's daughter Pat Hitchcock, and Laura Elliott. It is number 32 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Thrills. The story concerns two strangers who meet on a train, a young tennis player and a charming psychopath. The psychopath suggests that because they each want to "get rid" of someone, they should "exchange" murders, and that way neither will be caught. The psychopath commits the first murder, then tries to force the tennis player to complete the bargain.

Así podrían resolver sus respectivos problemas: él suprimiría a la mujer de Guy (que no quiere concederle el divorcio) y, a cambio, Guy debería asesinar al padre de Bruno para que éste pudiera heredar una gran fortuna y vivir a su aire.
Jim explores the most frightening "Big Bug" film ever made - in his opinion - with a fearful look at Jack Arnold's 1955 classic, "Tarantula!," starring John Agar, Mara Corday, Leo G.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 191 If you thought we got nostalgic in the past - just wait 'til you hear this episode! Basically, anyone who ever grew up loving movies needs to hear this week's show. As we return to our series The Grind, we cover the topic... movies that touched us in a very special way. Ok wait, not like that! More or less what we discuss is: the first movie that just clicked with us and because of that viewing, we saw movies differently. Or... what made us fall in love with the whole idea of film and inadvertently made us into a movie geek. It's a big question, and it leads to some pretty amazing memories! And somewhere during all the sugary nostalgia, we also mention... the 4 o'clock movie, old weird cartoons, archeological movie recreations, snake handling, in our neighborhood... it was legendary, dinosaurs, Friday night movies at school, only paying a quarter for the movie, the projectionist had to get on the mic, the era of the airbrush, the clerk at the video store recommended..., you would plan your whole year around watching that movie, we just had to abandon the house..., the mystery of how it was being done, monkey love scene, traumatizing your child, recording them on VHS and watching them on Saturday mornings, the Panini stickers book, I think my parents thought I was just wasting time, being afraid of something on the TV screen, stop-motion, destroying rednecks, showing the National Anthem, Bantha Tracks, giant spiders, when I first got a VCR, the VW covered in fur, caring about a monster, running serials, The CBS Friday Night Movie, the communal aspect, movies about hair stylists, not everyone finds it funny, the romance of VHS, Roscoe Lee Browne, reading the holy tomes, the perfect desert color, ...it was playing on TNT, playing cartoons, it's a very freakish movie, cell phone jammers, being made fun of for seeing a movie, Super Scary Saturdays, infested with brown recluses, Leo G. Carroll, the "making of" book, Harryhausen, recreating the experience of a Saturday matinee, guys in make... how did they do that?, we were supposed to be watching this together!, Memories of Monsters, the South Park Drive-in, I watched that movie, a hundred times..., childhood tape recorder podcasts, this is scary but it's cool, hitting a kid for not appreciating classic films, hey mom, why don't you get more pantyhose, inventing marketing for movies, De Laurentiis, TV as it used to be, making movies an event for your kids, souvenir programs, you have to be a certain age... to understand this, obsession among the next generation, it's kind of cooler in black and white daddy, and that weird kid that used to come in the video store. "These are all stories that we tell each other all the time... just the grip that movie has had on our lives."
Science’s Deadliest Accident! This week Nic, Mary and I will see how Unsafe Laboratory Practices Unleash a Giant Monster in Universals 1955 film Tarantula. The film was directed by Jack Arnold and produced by William Alland. The film stars John Agar, Mara Corday, Leo G. Carroll and Nestor Paiva. Plus we have some great listener […]
Universal was the leader in slickly produced 50s genre pix, and here's another eerie desert-set chiller from Jack Arnold with good special fx and creepy makeups. Leo G. Carroll, one of Hitchcock's favorite actors, classes up the joint as the scientist whose serum results in big buggery.
