Description

In this episode, George and Ryan dive into the last four films of Alfred Hitchcock’s career: Torn Curtain, Topaz, Frenzy, and Family Plot. From Cold War tension to grim London alleyways to offbeat psychics and kidnappers, we explore how the Master of Suspense closed out his career with a mix of political paranoia, brutal violence, and dark humor. Was Hitchcock still pushing boundaries—or just chasing ghosts of past glories? We unpack the highs, lows, and overlooked gems in this strange final act.

Beam Me Outta Here! - William Shatner’s 70s Detour

Between the end of the original Star Trek in 1969 and his cinematic return as Captain Kirk in 1979, William Shatner roamed some strange territory. In this episode, George and Ryan dive headfirst into Shatner’s “wilderness years,” exploring four offbeat, often outrageous films: the carnal chaos of Big Bad Mama, the sleazy psycho-thriller Impulse, the satanic sludgefest The Devil’s Rain, and the eco-horror cult favorite Kingdom of the Spiders. Along the way, they chart the peaks and valleys of Shatner’s post-Trek hustle, revel in his fearless acting choices, and appreciate the weird, wonderful resilience of a man who would one day boldly go back to the bridge of the Enterprise.
