EPISODE 78 - “FILM NOIR - Part 1 - WHAT IS NOIR?” - 3/10/2025 Have you ever wondered what exactly is film noir? TCM's EDDIE MULLER describes it this way: “Film Noir is all about treachery, deceit, and paranoia. You're never quite sure what is going on, who you can trust, or what dreadful pitfall waits around the corner.” This dark and twisted film genre popped up after WWII as a quiet cynicism began to creep into the national consciousness. In film noir, there is always an underbelly of darkness that comes out to play. And within the darkness, the shadows, and the neon lights, lie many stories of crime, dishonesty, adultery, murder, and mayhem. This week, we present the first in a special three-part series that delves into the darkest of genres where crooked cops, gangsters, torch singers, barflies, and other seedy character's live, love and kill. Join us as we discuss Film Noir! SHOW NOTES: Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

Welcome to another episode of the Bowie Book Club, where wild speculation and grasping for straws about Bowie's favorite books has reigned supreme since 2016. This time we read Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith, which is about how awful it was to travel before you could use noise-canceling headphones to eliminate any possibility of getting into a conversation with someone about murder.

The last trailer is a nostalgia flashback with Y2K.Then it's onto the main feature as where we will let you know whether or not Stranger on a Train is... A BLOODY GOOD FILM!We encourage everyone to watch along while you listen and make sure to comment and let us know what you think.

You do my murder, and I do yours... We might best know Patricia Highsmith from The Talented Mr. Ripley, but Strangers on a Train was her shocking debut novel, and folks: it slaps even as a movie, and ESPECIALLY in the hands of an Alfred Hitchcock who really feels like he's learned a thing or two about telling suspenseful stories. This one is a TRIP. Buckle up!

Here we go…it's our first episode! Sure, Jeremy's seen the big Hitchcock movies like REAR WINDOW and VERTIGO, and he even has a couple of black and white favorites (SHADOW OF A DOUBT and STRANGERS ON A TRAIN). But what will he make of a lesser Hitchcock film? This month we take on Dave's pick, the underappreciated and now relatively forgotten 1953 film I CONFESS, starring Montgomery Clift. Clift stars as Father Michael Logan, a Quebec City priest whose vows prevent him from revealing the identity of a murderer, even when he himself becomes the prime suspect of the investigation. What is this movie? Canadian cozy mystery? Location-heavy quasi-noir? Hitchcock's love letter to Catholicism in the form of a risqué morality play? Dave and Jeremy talk about mood and style, the ethical dilemma at the heart of the movie, and weigh in on that burning question: was Montgomery Clift the original “hot priest?” Thank you for listening! Please subscribe, leave a rating or review, and share this show with your friends. We'll be back next month with Jeremy's reply. Music by Jeremy Donald. Find Dave here: https://linktr.ee/davedwelling
"Parenthood", "Strangers On A Train", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Family Guy", and "The Saint". No it's not the films leaving Netflix this month, rather it's the topics of discussion on this week's brief, disjointed, somewhat chaotic, trans European pod. With Dan dialling in from a substandard German hotel room with tales of darts players and sharing Paul Cook anecdotes on a train, we remember Tommie Gorman and Joe Heron, analyse the European draws, and listen to Johnny mull over the League of Ireland journeys that fatherhood will bring him on . Our "Usual Suspects" of Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Rascals Brewery and Lilly's Childcare continue to support a show with hotter takes than Padraig Amond's face after an afternoon on the sunbeds. So buckle up for a quickfire blast of stream of consciousness podcasting, yes, it's episode 20 and it's pure Hollywood!
Strangers On A Train (1951) by Bob Sham & Friends
EPISODE 38 - “Ruth Roman: Star of the Month (June)” - 06/03/2024 RUTH ROMAN was more than a pretty face; she was a survivor! She survived childhood poverty, the fickle nature of Hollywood, the wrath of Alfred Hitchcock, several marriages, and the sinking of the luxury liner Andrea Doria in 1956. Yes, Roman was a warrior. This week, Roman is our Star of the Month for June. Join us as we take a look at her life and her long and fruitful career, where her versatility kept her working for five decades in great films such as “Good Sam” (1948), “The Window” (1949), “Strangers On A Train” (1951), and “The Far Country” (1954).

EPISODE 30 - “Robert Walker: Old Hollywood's Tragic Boy Next Door” - 04/08/2024 No one played sensitive, lost souls quite like ROBERT WALKER. However, he is best known for playing one of the most complicated, psychopaths in film history, Bruno Antony in ALFRED HITCHCOCK's masterpiece “Strangers On A Train” (1951). His journey from playing sensitive innocents to playing Bruno is reflective of his troubled, turbulent life, and the heartbreak from which he never recovered. This week, we'll discuss the artistry and the tragedy of this incredible actor.

Patricia Highsmith, Raymond Chandler, Robert Walker and Robert Burks: these are only several of the extremely talented people who contributed to Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train," a film which officially opens the master's most glorious and successful decade. At once taut and dreamlike, cruel and perversely sensual, the movie begins with a chance encounter that leads to nightmarish consequences. Join us as we explore one of the most famous and cherished of Hitchcock's films: a genuine cult classic, and a queer one at that.
“Criss cross.”In 1951, Alfred Hitchcock was at a low point in his career after the disappointing critical reception of his previous two films, Under Capricorn and Stage Fright. Desperate for a hit, he wanted to adapt the 1950 Patricia Highsmith novel Strangers on a Train about a chance encounter that leads to a murder pact between two very different men. He bought the rights and enlisted screenwriter Raymond Chandler to adapt the book for the screen. Though Chandler delivered a script, Hitchcock ultimately rejected it in favor of a rewrite by Czenzi Ormonde and an uncredited Barbara Keon. With his leads locked in – Farley Granger as tennis pro Guy Haines and Robert Walker as the villainous Bruno Antony – Hitchcock began production on what would become another tension-filled thriller. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1952 Academy Awards Best Cinematography • Black-and-White Nominees series with a conversation about Strangers on a Train.Here's a hint at what we talk about:In this episode, we dive deep into the fantastic performances by Robert Walker as the creepy and charismatic Bruno and Farley Granger as the morally conflicted Guy. We also discuss the homoerotic undertones in the film and how Hitchcock used them to toy with ideas about sexuality and identity. Though we find a few plot holes, overall we both agree this is one of our favorite Hitchcock films thanks to its psychological tension, unique visual style, and fun fairground climax.One of the standout elements of Strangers on a Train is the striking black-and-white cinematography by Robert Burks. In his first collaboration with Hitchcock, Burks brought an experimental flair that heightens the psychological tension. The use of shadows, unique camera angles, stylized lighting, and innovative techniques like the curved lens shot of Miriam's murder create an atmosphere of dread and danger. Burks' innovative work garnered him an Oscar nomination and built the foundation for a longtime partnership with Hitchcock.Strangers on a Train is a taut, psychologically complex thriller brought to life by Hitchcock's masterful direction. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

Christian is once again with both Agent Starling and Captain EO, discussing their own travels throughout Europe. Plus, interesting tattoos and they set up next episode's examination of a musical disaster.
It's Pride Month, and much like the United States, we're going back in time and getting scared of gay people. Come hang out while we talk about the little-known bleak cult horror of The Seventh Victim (1943), along with Hitchcock's classic tale of murder, intrigue, and out-of-control carousels, Strangers On a Train (1951). We mention it within the episode, but as an additional warning, The Seventh Victim deals heavily with suicide, so if you want to skip past that part of the double feature, you can pick back up with Strangers On a Train at the 32:45 mark. A proud part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Our drive for intersectionality aligns well with the Morbidly Beautiful ethos. We love that MB is a nonprofit that gives back to the horror community, and are thrilled to be a part of the network! Show now also streaming on morbidlybeautiful.com!

Book Vs. Movie: Strangers on a TrainThe 1950 Novel Vs. the 1951 Classic FilmThe Margos return to Alfred Hitchcock with his classic thriller Strangers on a Train, based on Patricia Highsmith's debut novel. The story of two men meeting up and deciding to commit double murder in just a few hours may strain credulity--but it is a fun story ride!In the novel, budding architect Guy Haines meets wealthy gadabout Charles Anthony Bruno (called Bruno throughout the book) on a train ride to Texas. Guy wants to divorce his cheating (and pregnant) wife, Miriam, to marry his true love, Anne Faulkner. Bruno has a father who wants him to grow up and be more responsible, while he would rather travel, drink, and spend his family's money. Bruno proposes they kill the person in their lives holding back their happiness. Guy agrees to escape the conversation and is shocked when Bruno strangles Miriam to death. Bruno now wants a favor in return. Highsmith was a master of thrills and suspense with several books, including “The Talented Mr. Ripley” series. Her private life consisted of several relationships with both men and women, including a married psychologist who helped her with theories about sociopaths and psychopaths. She was surprised to find her book sold to Alfred Hitchcock for $7500 and angry her agent did not ask for more. (Hitch was known for his secrecy.) The movie adaptation changed her setting from the South and Southwest to NYC and Washington, DC, and included a gay subtext about the relationship between the lead characters. In an adapted script by Raymond Chandler and Czenzi Ormonde, Guy becomes a tennis pro who ultimately cannot go through with the killing of Bruno's father. (Spoilers in this episode!) What are the other differences between the book and the film? And which version did the Margos like better? Have a listen!In this ep the Margos discuss:Author Patricia HighsmithThe clever plot and how it has been used over the years.Hitchcock's work ethic and how it influenced the film.The cast of the 1951 film: Farley Granger (Guy,) Robert Walker (Bruno,) Ruth Roman (Anne Morton,) Leo G.
