I hope one of these days you’ll return to the opening credits with the voice over. It’s what got me hooked to the show the first time I came across you. I totally get why it went away after Craig left, but when you have enough fotage of other guests, or if you find a new permanent co-host, I would very much like to see the return of it.
Is matt listening to blank check?
One of these days I'd love a camera spin to show off the whole basement, I've always been curious!
"It takes a thief to catch a thief..." Please, please, please, I implore you to watch the original version of "Rollerball" from 1975 with James Caan and John Houseman; it's completely different thematically and in it's message.
OG Rollerball is so goddamned underrated.
Grace Kelly driving a sports car at high speed through the mountains above the Cote d'Azur now seems a cosmic irony given the way she died.
Please make sure to leave Craig alone with the camera every time, because it's always gold!
3:34 "The burglaries are not done by The Cat but by someone else who's imitating The Cat." So......... a copycat?
One of the better 2-second Bob Dylan impersonations I've heard. Has Dylan ever met Tiny Dave Matthews? YYYYEP!
John Williams the actor does have a music connection. He was featured in the longest running national commercial of all time which sold classical music. 120 Music Masterpieces which ran from 1971 to 1984, two years after Williams passed away.
John williams? ... The actor? -marty probably
A few years back I went through my whole Hitchcock box set, and I thought this was the most unremarkable film of the bunch. Not as bad as Marnie, but extremely forgettable.
The cocaine scene in Maestro kind of made me laugh. It sort of happened. It felt like it was only there because it’s a biopic about a musician, so there has to be a cocaine scene. But Bradley Cooper’s heart wasn’t really in it. He just filmed it like he was filling out a form for his taxes.
"It Happened on Fifth Avenue" was supposed to be directed by Capra, but he blew it off to direct "..wonderful life" check it out, it has the guy from Hazel and Skipper from Gilligan and Charlie Ruggles from Aesop an Son.
definitely on the lower end of Hitchcock's oeuvre
Maybe a year for the original "Rollerball", but probably not.
"She's brought the Unsullied!" Well of course, she'd want them at her back in case brief mambo'ing happens!
Albert Lamorisse (The Red Balloon, et al) used his self-designed helicopter-mounted system for sequences in White Mane (1953) just fyi. Thanks, never saw To Catch a Thief, an obvious gap in my viewing!
I really enjoyed Flower Moon, but I truly hate the portrayal of DiCaprio's character. I do NOT believe the real guy had such genuine love for his wife but did what he did to her anyway...
They just wrote it that way for the sake of compelling drama. That made DiCaprio the (almost) sympathetic character they needed for added complexity.
Agreed - "To Catch A Thief" pretty boring, and a disappointment in the Hitchcock library. Great job, guys!
Have you guys seen Challengers? I found it thrilling, erotic, and tense. My favorite film of 2024 thus far.
Here comes the hotstepper. Scarf wrangler.
Im the lyrical gangster. Scarf wrangler.
Your movie selection picks this season are far better than last year.
hitchcock desperately needed Vertigo and Psycho in his life.
Seen it! Bobby Deerfield starring Al Pacino
You cats need to listen to more movie podcasts!
“The Craig” 👎 “The Singing Waiter” 👍
Friends called him Hitch!
I forgot that I had seen this! I got on a Cary Grant kick after watching Father Goose. My impressions of this movie was that it wasn't the best picture - but Cary Grant was charismatic as usual (I just finished watching your episode and your disagreement on Cary's pulling power in this).
Actually crazy to hear you talk about Roller Ball, pure insanity.
What a classic.
Also I did not know John McTiernan was a hardened criminal.
The scene on the bus with Grant, Hitchcock, and the birds was a Easter Egg for Hitchcock's last movie 'The Birds'. If want to avoid the three hour Flower Moon, watch the Jimmy Stewart movie 'The FBI Story'. The second crime investigated by Stewart is the Indian Oil scam. Tells the whole story and only lasts about 20 minutes.
😂🤣😂Well, all d o respect, but 20 minutes might be a tad short for such an involved story, lol.✌
😂😎
Grace Kelly in the water. Wow.
Seen it! The Iron Claw
Watched the film last week. Only saw it once or twice before. It’s not a great Hitchcock but it’s fun to see some of his regulars together again.
I suspect it’s important to know how little mass tourism happened when this film was made. Probably a film like this would have stunned and amazed viewers just for its then exotic settings.
That's a genuinely good insight. Even today I watch some movies/shows to take a vacation with my eyes. That must have been so much more of a factor before the internet. Good point. 👍👌✌ (Now I'm thinking about all those "slow" old movies where the characters just wandered around beautiful locations. They may have known what they were doing after all.)
I have a small collection of 8mm ‘travelogue’ type films that allowed folks to see places they’d never imagine. The undeveloped swamps and beaches of Florida are the subject of one.
@@romwil Sounds great. Apparently some feature films were released in stripped down super 8 versions. Half hour selected scene versions of films like The French Connection, The Seven-Ups etc. Haven’t seen any but I’d like to.
@@panderjitsinghvv8199 I have a copy of the first Star Wars on Super 8 sound!
‘First’ as in New Hope :)
The car chase scene presages Kelly’s real world death.
awesome as always
Craig!!!
WHEEZY! ❤
still prefer Craig original recipe.
