I think it's bhe youre r eblmus aalike, that's what i got from it, or you're broken, though i think it could be both. It's not their fault that they're like this. They did this thing. But i think darrow's point is, they're broken. Jimmy stewart thinks tha there ei. Well, i don't think that his attitude is consistent with any, any acceptance of of lack of responsibility.

Special guest Yoel Inbar (author of Hitchcock’s Women: From Margaret Sullivan to Tippi Hedren) joins us to talk about Hitchcock’s long take masterpiece/gimmick Rope. Based loosely on the case of Leopold and Loeb, Rope tells the story of two young men who have read Nietzsche and decide to murder a schoolmate in order to cement their Übermensch status. Did they read Nietzsche correctly? Is conventional morality nothing but a construct to keep the inferior masses in line? Are professors accountable for what they teach? (Please God, no.)
