Episode 221: The Crew’s stalking people that look similar to their departed love ones while watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. The film is considered Hitchcock’s masterpiece but was a box office bomb when originally released. James Stewards’ fourth collaboration with Hitchcock, has him playing against type, he’s creepy and almost becomes a villain by the end. Kim Novak plays two roles and she makes both different. It’s a shame she wasn’t cast in more of Hitchcock’s work. Vertigo is the first film to feature a zolly/ push pull shot. The Crew discusses…

Episode 217: The Crew’s wondering why the rum is all gone while discussing Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Director Gore Verbinski made Pirate films cool again after decades of box office bombs in the genre (Cutthroat Island, Pirates). The supernatural curse plot probably helped the box office with the shots of the skeleton pirates in the trailer. Johnny Depp became a superstar with his Oscar nominated Captain Jack Sparrow performance. And its the best film based on a theme park ride. The Crew discusses…

The pairing of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock is brilliant and made both of them box-office draws. Everything works so well in the film, you’ll believe a bus could fly. The Crew discusses…
