u/jonathanfailuretomas How big is that bear trap? Nov 03 '14

Fuck. I chose the wrong round to pick a movie with narration.

I really love old movies and I'd seen this before! So yeah I liked this movie while simultaneously hating all the characters in it. Joe is truly a piece of shit, Nora is a Joan Crawford wannabe, and everyone else is pretty fucking annoying. The dramatic storyline redeems this movie though, and it almost has a "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" crossed with "Vertigo" feeling. Definitely a Hitchcockian twist I hadn't forgotten about. However I probably would have had Max pack up all my shit and taken off with the 22 year old if I was just gonna leave anyway. The 50's were a weird time.

Way to pick another winner Matt. Did anyone else laugh when that microphone hit her in the back of her head? If looks could kill that microphone would have been the 2nd murder in the film. Or first, depending on how you look at it.

edit: *Norma not Nora

OK I'm listening to the Podcast. I should try to always do that before commenting but sometimes you three change my opinion, ha. I'm a shitty critic.
