What better way to start off the new year than with a podcast? Join us this week as we discuss Alfred Hitchcock’s polarizing 1955 black comedy, The Trouble with Harry. Set in rural Vermont, an eclectic ensemble bonds over their dealings with a dead body that keeps popping up at the most inopportune times.
