CW: Some passages of this podcast discuss the details of a murder case.

It vs. Is: That's the discussion we have with playwright, and Hitchcock devotee, Erik Champney as we do a deep dive into Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 Rope which starred John Dall, Farley Granger, and James Stewart and dealt, loosely, with Leopold and Loeb, who were not only murderers but lovers.

Erik walks us through the history of LGBTQIA+ characters in Hitchcock's films, the sordid history of the true life murder that inspired Rope, the "it" factor the audiences did not want to see and the "is" factor that queer audiences do want to see, James Stewart's regret about making Rope, and why this film still holds up seventy plus years later.
