Bill Hader doing an impression of Oliver Reed explaining the difference between acting on stage & acting on film. Love how he cracks Paul Giamatti up.

Alfred Hitchcock’s NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959) screens in I.B. Technicolor 35mm this Saturday & Sunday, January 10th & 11th, at 2:00pm.

I'm the type of person who reads movie and TV reviews for things I don't plan to watch. But with things like PratChat, I like to read the book first and then listen to the episode. I do the same with The Labours of Hercule, which covers ITV's Poirot TV series.

They have contributed to the superb Criterion disc, but can I (again) plug @attaboyclarence.com fantastic multi-part deep, deep dive into Val Lewton's RKO horror cycle? Seek it out wherever you get your podcasts!

Is anyone else Re-listening to @attaboyclarence.com Bullets & Blood in the wake of the Warner Brother/Netflix news? Any excuse really

Secret History of Hollywood is a good one - the series on Val Lewton was particularly excellent.

I cannot recommend 'The Secret History of Hollywood' podcast enough. Their mammoth 11-part series 'Shadows' focuses on Val Lewton, but takes in RKO and the crews involved in Lewton's films. A fascinating story beautifully told; with Mark Gatiss. Dip in... #FilmSky open.spotify.com/episode/1JHl...
