"I didn't, i didn't buy his character too much from from the beginning. I do think he would have been better, but can't blame jimmy stewart for not being able to deliver this in anon." "He's actually like empower himself as this professor who did really influence somebody through his philosophy that gave rise to this murder," she says. 'The isn' nobody, if anybody were espousing flossie like this, i would be just like, you're just a psycho.'

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.) Plus, we delve deeper into Julie and Mark’s motivation, and Yoel plays a round of “Does the government deem this trademark scandalous?”
