Hitchcock Happy Hour

We're back! So, what's new in Hollywood? Join us as we discuss the summer of Barbenheimer, and the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike. A lot of movement in the film industry and we have thoughts. Cheers!

We're back with a highly requested movie, and a highly anticipated guest for our episode on the iconic 1975 oceanic thriller, Jaws. We have Judge Tim Barnack joining us to discuss one of his favorite movies full of nostalgia and watershed movie moments. Directed by Steven Spielberg and Starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw. Cheers!

One more for the Bard! In our farewell to Shakespeare, we are discussing the importance and timelessness of the Bard's work through the fantastically meta Oscar-winning film, Shakespeare in Love. We laugh, we cried, we loved it. Starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Finnes, Dame Judi Dench, Ben Affleck, Imelda Staunton, Colin Firth, and Geoffrey Rush. Cheers!

We're back with another bard-centric teen rom com of the sports variety! We're discussing the cultural impact this iconic Twelfth Night adaptation had on our childhoods, and some of gendered ideals that maybe should or shouldn't stay with us in film. What's your favorite line from this iconic film? We have a few! Starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. Cheers!

We're BACK and ready to rock n' roll with our favorite romantic comedy, 10 things I hate about you! This movie truly has every niche within a niche, grand gesture,  iconic line, and the best angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion we could hope for. If you wanted to hear Sara absolutely butcher some Shakespeare this is the episode for you! Starring Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gabrielle Union, Larisa Oleynik, and Alison Janney. Cheers!

We've got a Noirvember straggler episode for you! Before we completely switch gears and talk rom-coms for February, please enjoy our latest episode on the critically acclaimed and very niche David Lynch film, Mulholland Drive. This film is like a fever dream with all of the layers and seediness of a Hollywood film noir you could possibly want! What's your favorite theory about the meaning behind this film? Starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, and Justin Theroux. Cheers!

We're discussing what is considered one of the best films ever made this week as we explore all of the seedy and nihilistic glory that is Chinatown! Starring Faye Dunaway, Jack Nicholson, and John Huston. Cheers! 

We're talking about a unique and honestly under underrated film noir this week as we analyze the the lesser known classic, Touch of Evil. This movie has a lot of chaos and a lot of moody, seedy, underworld corruption and we're here for it! Starring Orson Welles, Janet Leigh, Charlton Heston, and Marlene Dietrich. Cheers!

It is officially Noirvember! Dark and moody movies just in time for a dark and moody season. To kick things off we're sipping on an upgraded Whiskey Sour and talking about an aloof classic, Out of the Past. This movie has everything you could ever want in a Noir: mood lighting, lots of smoke, flashbacks, hardboiled dudes in trench coats, and of course....our favorite archetype, the Femme Fatale. Starring Jane Greer, Robert Mitchum, and Kirk Douglas. Cheers! Whiskey Sour with OJ: 2 oz Rye Whiskey, 1 oz Lemon Juice, 1/2 oz OJ, 1/w oz simple syrup, egg white, add all ingredients to a mixer, dry shake for 20 seconds, add ice, shake for another 10 seconds. strain into coupe glass, and garnish with a brandied cherry. Drink responsibly! 

Another year another spooky season come and gone. We are ending October with a halloween classic, Hocus Pocus. This movie is so enjoyable and we recommend it to absolutely everyone. Starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. Cheers!
