October 16, 2020 Rebecca (1940)
Ahead of the 2020 Netflix remake, Jordan and Brooke discuss the original “Rebecca,” Alfred Hitchcock’s first American film and his only Best Picture winner. They dare to ask – has Hollywood changed all that much since the 40s? Why did the Hays Code (the Gays Code) get all up in this script? And did Maxim de Winter actually discover how to get away with murder?

September 18, 2020 The Departed
Cue the Dropkick Murphys. This week, Jordan and Brooke talk 2006’s Best Picture winner and the ultimate Boston film. Why is this movie so masculine but yet so queer? Is Scorsese cinema’s wokest director? And what the hell is that subplot about microprocessors?
