Hello! We're Film By Numbers! A podcast that allows each episode to be inspired by it's number. So for example, Episode 7 could focus on 'Se7en' and the films of David Fincher. Episode 13 can take a dive into the 'Friday 13th' franchise. Hopefully you get the picture, we don't know where it'll take us but we'd love to have you join us for the ride.

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of Film By Numbers!

It is Episode 17 and we have called it ‘Meeting at Number 17: The Films of Alfred Hitchcock’. Number 17 was an early feature film of Hitchcock’s from 1932 that the great man himself denounced as “a terrible picture, very cheap melodrama.” It’s a crime thriller about a gang of thieves who gather at a safe house following a robbery whilst being pursued by a police detective.

As well as Number 17 we delve into Hitchcock’s filmography, motifs, and legacy.

Many thanks to Jennie Kermode (writer and director at Eye For Film) and Michael Barrett (film critic and writer) for joining us on this podcast.

Film By Numbers - Episode 3 - Three Billboards...Frances McDormand
play

04/05/22 • 55 min

This episode is called ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri’ and we are going to be discussing the films of the great actor and producer Frances McDormand. The film that gives us our title was released in 2017 and was written and directed by Martin McDonagh. It stars McDormand as grieving mother Midlred Hayes who rents the advertising space of the billboards of the title and emblazons them with the phrases ‘Raped Whilst Dying’, ‘And still no arrests’, ‘How come, Chief Willoughby?’. The film was a huge box office and critical success and won McDormand the second of her four Oscars, three of which are for acting and one for producing the 2020 film Nomadland.

Episode three is a tribute to actor/producer Frances McDormand.

Film By Numbers - Episode 12- 12 Angry Men (Chamber Pieces)
play

07/31/23 • 62 min

It is episode 12 and we have named in 12 Angry Men. Primarily we are going to discuss chamber pieces – films that take place by and large in just one location.

The film that gives us our title was directed by Sidney Lumet in 1957 and tells the story of a jury sent out to deliberate the verdict of a seemingly open and shut murder case. They have to return a unanimous decision and whilst 11 jurors are convinced of the defendants guilt, juror number 8 (Henry Fonda) is not so sure and feels they men should discuss the case further.
