Some shows walk into the room with a genre label pinned neatly to their shirt. They wear it like a badge of honor and adhere to all rules therein. “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” kicks the door open, knocks over the lamp, checks its phone (Where's my phone?!), spirals emotionally, and somehow still has time to become a murder mystery. It's part divorce drama, part paranoid thriller, part loneliness comedy, and part “please stop making that decision, Paula” anxiety machine. Better yet, it knows exactly how messy that cocktail should taste, and, boy, does it taste good.The new Apple TV+ series stars Tatiana Maslany as Paula, a lonely single mother caught in the meat grinder of divorce, custody fights, work stress, and modern connection. When she reaches out through her computer for something that looks like intimacy, or maybe just proof that she still exists outside everyone else's demands, she tumbles into a voyeuristic thriller that writer David Rosen described as a “modern day Rear Window.” The series also stars Jake Johnson as Carl, Paula's ex-husband and co-parent, a man who often looks like the reasonable adult in the room until reason starts feeling a little too much like the wrong kind of control.On this episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo speaks with Maslany, Johnson, Rosen, and director David Gordon Green about building the show's live-wire tone, turning a broken relationship into a suspense engine, and finding humor inside a life that already feels like it has 19 browser tabs open.

Originally Recorded on Wednesday April 15th and Wednesday April 22nd, 2026 What's up, fans? That Horror Show Podcast presents to you another brand-spankin'-new episode to bring joy to your ears. Those two lovable hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig take a break from reviewing trashy and exploitable movies, turning to two thrillers that have a touch of cinematic class. And both movies are made by the 'Master of Suspense' himself: Alfred Hitchcock! Also, both movies feature the hosts favorite classic actor James Stewart, so that's a major bonus! So listen up as the hosts talk about "Rear Window" (1954), a film which asks the question: would you ever suspect your neighbor of committing MURDER!?!? And then, the hosts take a gander at "Vertigo" (1958), one of the most bizzare movies to ever come out of Hitchcock's vast filmography with a storyline that's just...well, odd! And, oh yes, lest we not forget: young Nate from 'Nate's Corner' is on hand to give his review of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997). So give this episode a little spin and don't forget to tell your friends about us.

Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 22-minutes discussing the Forbes report from Rob Salkowitz "Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard", how visual effects artists switching from full-time to contract work may increase project leaks, and why these layoffs happened in the first place. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) The film is exceptionally well paced, and the way it turns people into "television channels" is as gross as it is curious.The dialogue in Rear Window is top notch, even if it's very scripted and forgoes any sense of realistic, human communication.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member, VP Morris (Award-winning thriller and horror writer and podcaster), discuss Gilda (1946) for its 80th anniversary: directed by Charles Vidor, written by Marion Parsonnet and Ben Hecht, cinematography by Rudolph Mate, music by M. W. Stoloff and Marlin Skiles, editing by Charles Nelson, starring Glenn Ford, Rita Hayworth, and George Macready.Plot Summary: In the shadowy world of postwar Buenos Aires, a cynical gambler named Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford) rises to become the right‑hand man of a powerful casino owner—only to have his world upended when his boss returns from abroad with a new wife: Gilda (Rita Hayworth), the woman Johnny once loved and lost. What follows is a volatile triangle of desire, jealousy, and deception, where every smile hides a threat and every gesture feels like a dare. As Johnny and Gilda wage a private war under the watchful eye of a dangerous man, the film turns into a noir about obsession, control, and the impossibility of burying the past.Guest:VP MorrisAward-winning thriller and horror writer and podcaster;vpmorris.com, @teawriterepeat on IG and X, The Dead Letters Podcast;Previously on Scream (1996), The Shining (1980), Rear Window (1954), and American Psycho (2000)Chapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for Gilda03:37 Welcome Back, VP Morris!04:44 Why Gilda?07:45 Rita Hayworth's Performance in Gilda13:27 What Kind of Character is Gilda?19:53 Plot Summary for Gilda20:47 What is Gilda About?28:48 Did You Know?33:17 First Break34:57 What's Happening with VP Morris?36:25 Best Performance(s)50:46 Best Scene(s)01:00:33 Second Break01:01:10 Best/Funniest Lines01:03:09 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:09:03 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:14:40 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:23:38 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:28:49 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:32:03 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:33:44 Remaining Questions for Gilda01:42:28 Thank You to VP01:43:16 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/gilda-1946-ft-vp-morrisFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Gilda, Rita Hayworth, film noir, classic movies, Hollywood history, cinematic legacy, classic, noir, Glenn Ford, mystery, thriller, podcast, movie, Shawshank, redRonny Duncan Studios
Alfred Hitchcock was the so-called Master of Suspense. From the 1930s through the 1960s, he directed dozens of films – mostly in the murder-mystery, psychological horror, or spy drama genres – and worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars to create masterpieces that continue to feel relevant more than half a century later. While his personal life and professional ethics are fraught with controversy, his creative brilliance and influential storytelling remains unimpeachable. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Alfred Hitchcock Film.Movies discussed: Psycho, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Dial M for Murder, The Birds, The 39 Steps, Strangers on a Train, Notorious, Rope, Rebecca, The Lady Vanishes, Suspicion, To Catch a Thief, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Shadow of a DoubtJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists David Silbert, Jim Czadzeck, John Higgins, and Karissa Kloss as they discuss and debate 16 of Hitch's most enduring films.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional Hitchcock projects that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

“BESS FLOWERS & FRANKLYN FARNUM: QUEEN & KING OF THE EXTRAS” - 4/13/2026 (135) Actors BESS FLOWERS and FRANKLYN FARNUM were absolute legends of the “blink and you'll miss them” world. They weren't headliners — in fact, they often were not credited or even noticed, but honestly, that's what makes them so fascinating—their careers quietly stitched together the fabric of classic cinema. They were Extras. Without them and other extras like them, all those iconic movie moments would feel a lot less alive. Their careers spanned decades and thousands of films. They became, in their own way, silent witnesses to the evolution of Hollywood from the silent era through the golden age and into the modern period. So this week, we're going to explore the lives and careers of BESS FLOWERS and FRANKLYN FARNUM, examining not only their astonishing productivity but also their unique roles within the Hollywood system. By looking closely at the films in which they can best be seen, we gain a deeper appreciation for their contributions and the overlooked artistry of background performers.

But for anyone international, put simply, Joe is among Australia's most consequential journalists.He took over the Australian Financial Review's Rear Window column at just 28, and across a twelve-year tenure transformed it into the most anticipated daily column in Australian business and politics. His former editor called it journalism "like never before seen in Australia and arguably the world." Joe's reporting contributed to the downfall of the CPA Australia CEO and board, the resignation of Rio Tinto's chairman, Alan Joyce's early exit from Qantas, and a long list of uncomfortable reckoning in between.In and amongst the many themes that this podcast covers, the most consistent among them has been journalism and good journalists. And I say that because I think I caught Joe at an interesting juncture in his life. In the last twelve months Joe's gone independent. Leaving the security of the AFR to launch his own media company, Rampart. The work is the same. Breaking the stories from business and politics that his readers have come to expect, but the model is new, and it puts Joe in unfamiliar territory as an entrepreneur which I think is another example of how media business models are being re-cast, and indicative of the direction the best talent is heading towards. We recorded this about ten months into the Rampart journey. We cover his influences, his early years in PR, his personal battles, Rampart and throughout it all, what Joe judges to be, good journalism.

The character actor is one of the most important yet least discussed aspects of cinema. Whether it's Thelma Ritter as a no nonsense feisty nurse in Hitchcock's Rear Window, Eli Wallach as a captivating roguish bandit in Leone's The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly or Tilda Swinton in almost about anything, character actors provide a rhythm, contrast, opposite color that provides shape, dynamism, form to a film. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill looks at why the character actor is so critical to a movie's success and some of the greatest practitioners of the craft.

Read by Brendan Sullivan A man, stuck inside with time on his hands, watches the small theatre of neighbouring lives through a single window. Patterns harden into questions; silences feel heavier than noise. An ordinary evening acquires edges: late footsteps, a restless light, a habit broken. Curiosity grows teeth. What do you really know about people you never meet—only study from across the brick divide? In this narration, the city is a chessboard, the view a keyhole, and the air itself seems to hold its breath. “It Had to Be Murder” by Cornell Woolrich; first published in Dime Detective Magazine, February 1942. Also known as “Rear Window” in later anthologies and editions. Cornell Woolrich (1903–1968), American noir writer publishing under his own name and the pseudonyms William Irish and George Hopley. His fiction shaped mid‑century suspense, fuelling numerous film adaptations; he lived reclusively and wrote with stark, fatalistic intensity.

Peter, Glenn och Linus sätter sig ner med en honest to god filmpod, vi ska avhandla avsnitt 2 av Fem Plus-Klubben. Förra gången avhandlade vi 50-talsklassikern Rear Window, nu har vi kommit fram till Woody Allens romantiska komedi Annie Hall. Kan en komedi vara 5-plus, eller sätter tidens tand sitt bitmärke i humorns kött för fort? Går det att dela på verk och person? Är Annie Hall en perfekt film? Just ja, vi snackar lite spel också. Och vilken Wrapped man inte vill ha. Glenns problematiska pappa nämns. Ett avsnitt!

Down to Watch lines up an evening of scares with 2011's Fright Night! Dan and Raul are squaring a spooky circle they started last year with the 1985 original by checking out the second go-round with Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots and Anton Yelchin in the main roles (we still get an Ed but lose a Billy). This retry at a horror version of Rear Window has the advantage of 20+ years of horror history to draw inspiration and experience from in order to turn this send up of b-movies that ended up as one itself by addressing the mistakes of the first and bringing these characters into the 2010s, an ideal position for a cast and crew to tackle the dreaded remake. Do these modern filmmakers make good on the promise of a clever premise and talented cast or is this an uninspired rehash of the first foray into fang territory? Vegas odds are good!
It's that time of year again on The Film ‘89 Podcast as we bring you our 2025 Halloween Horror Special. Joining Skye are two returning co-hosts, Stephen Simpson and John Arminio, and the horror film they've picked as the focus of this episode is Tom Holland's 1985 cult classic, Fright Night, starring Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse and Roddy McDowell. Based on an original script by Holland, Fright Night blends elements of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window with Hammer horror and vampire lore as it tells the tale of teenager, Charley Brewster, who suspects that his new next door neighbour, Jerry Dandridge, may be a vampire. With outstanding practical makeup effects and assured direction from first time director Holland, Fright Night would go on to become a beloved cult classic and one of the very best horror films of the 1980s.
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.

Many movies tell us how to watch them. Whether it's Raiders of the Lost Ark, Casablanca, or Rear Window, movies steer the viewers to certain reactions anticipated by their directors long before the first tickets have been sold. Michael Mann's Miami Vice does this less often than other films (including Mann's) with spectacular results. Almost twenty years after its release, the film seems to have found a new audience that appreciates Mann's letting the viewer take the protagonists on their own terms. It's not a buddy-cop movie, although the cops are friends; it's not a tale of star-crossed lovers, although that's plainly there; and it's not a series of wild shoot-outs, although it culminates in a classic Michael Mann action sequence. The current colloquialism “It is what it is” seems to apply here–and what Miami Vice “is” is a great film, regardless of how it's categorized. Jean-Baptiste Thoret's Michael Mann:A Contemporary Retrospective examines Mann's style, themes since he announced his presence in 1981 with Thief. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.
