Recording our most recent podcast was very special. We talked Coming-of-Age movies in honour of James leaving home for university; reflecting on films that capture life’s significant turning points and realising our own situation echoed the stories we were discussing.

North by Northwest as “The Perfect Entertainment Machine.”

Totally agree with @mrneilalcock.bsky.social’s
apt description of Hitchcock’s classic thriller, from his excellent “Hitchology” book

New episode! North by Northwest

It’s Hitchcock’s ultimate “wrong man on the run” thriller, but what will an 18-year-old make of its blend of style, wit and espionage, and will he get swept up in the fast-paced suspense?

It started as a rewatch of The Big Sleep and ended in a Bogart-Bacall spiral, obsessively binging on the films they starred in together as Hollywood’s greatest onscreen pairing:
To Have and Have Not (1944)
The Big Sleep (1946)
Dark Passage (1947)
Key Largo (1948)

Blue Velvet is the perfect combination of Lynch working as a disciplined storyteller and conniving as an energetic madcap, inviting the viewer to step out of tasteful boundaries to discover cinematic gold just behind those white picket fences.

Martin Scorsese in Taxi Driver: instead of a passing background appearance, or a knowing, gimmicky cameo, Scorsese delivers a chilling monologue that delivers a huge impact - It’s unsettling, raw and adds a new layer of tension to the film #filmsky
