"Hitchcock's Hamlet" is how Mike describes Rear Window (1954), his all-time favorite film. He and Dan talk about Hitchcock and his stand-in, Jimmy Stewart, as keen observers of humanity. They also talk about what movies do to us, how the film speaks to our current screen-filled moment, and what would happen if a movie could talk back (although they don't mention The Purple Rose of Cairo). So grab that backscratcher, load up the flashbulbs, and listen to the guys talk about one of the true masterpieces they've examined in five seasons.
