Week 11 - Rich and Strange (1931)

Jim and Eric fly right off the rails in their discussion of Alfred Hitchcock's 1931 film Rich and Strange, digressing into meanderings on Terry Gilliam's Brazil, the classic play Our Town, and whether or not Jim enjoys his day job. Somewhere among all this they manage to discuss the film, too.

Week 10b - The Skin Game (1931)

Another show on The Skin Game? Yes, but our error - recording two shows on the same film was a whoops! - is your gain. Show B of Week 10 debuts our new discussion format. A bit more loose, a bit less stiff, and (we hope) a lot more fun. We hope you'll stick with us as we transition to something a little more offbeat.

Week 10a - The Skin Game (1931)

This week A Year of Hitchcock begins its transition to a new format, beginning here with Show A of our discussion of 1931's The Skin Game, Hitchcock's real estate drama. Show A is in our old format. But wait, there's more! We inadvertently recorded two shows on The Skin Game, so we'll be following this with Show B, which is in our new format. Looser, more casual, more down to Earth, and, we hope, more entertaining. So enjoy this show in our old style, then stick with us as we transition to something a little more offbeat.

Week 9 - Murder! (1930)

(NOTE: Please disregard prior feed for this episode)

With a title like Murder! it's pretty clear this 1930 thriller is all Hitchcock. This week, Eric and Jim, authors of A Year of Hitchcock: 52 Weeks with the Master of Suspense, discuss what makes Murder! an interesting viewing experience - most especially for how quickly Hitchcock was adapting to the relatively new use of sound in films.

Week 8 - Juno and the Paycock (1930)

Despite being based on a very popular stage play, Eric and Jim, authors of A Year of Hitchcock: 52 Weeks with the Master of Suspense, agree that Juno and the Paycock, Hitchcock's 1930 follow-up to Blackmail, is probably among his three worst films. Why such a strong opinion? Tune in for week 8 our this year-long podcast and find out.
