Rebecca (1940)
WHO was Rebecca? WHAT was her deal? WHY is everyone so obsessed with her and her underwear? We watch the first mystery that is brand new to all of us, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca (1940), and (wo)man, do we have some opinions. As modern “woke”* people, we give the main character an actual name and talk about feminism, lesbianism, and the control of women and power dynamics of 1940’s Hollywood. Maddy wants to become a dick-punching time traveler, Katy gives some very unresearched and ultimately incorrect facts about Hitchcock and lesbians, Carrie does some live book research, and Mack talks gr...

On Pauline Oliveros, with Kerry O'Brien
In the mid-1960s, Pauline Oliveros was a composer of experimental electronic music. But at the end of the 1960s, shocked by the political violence around her, she turned away from electronic technology and towards to a different kind of experimentation, which Dr. Kerry O'Brien calls "experimentalisms of the self." The immediate result of this turn was Oliveros's Sonic Meditations, a series of instructions for group bodymind practice. This work became the seed of Deep Listening, a sort of musical yoga Oliveros developed throughout the rest of her long career. Dr. O'Brien joins JF and Phil for a conversation...
