You, Freud. Me, Jane?

Alfred takes on sex, lies, and money missing from the big safe at work. It's half trippy para-psychology Spellbound, part neo-noirish femme fatale Vertigo, this time with a returning Tippi Hedron as the slippery-with-the-truth title character and an up-and-coming Sean Connery as the guy who catches her...and falls in love with her? Does it all come together? We find out!

You, Freud. Me, Jane?

Writing Evil (Cutting Room Floor #226)

The Darkness is out there. Everyone can feel evil working in the shadows of the real world, however figurative or literal you want to attribute it. So, naturally, evil plays a big part in our stories; it behooves us storytellers to know how to effectively represent it. How do we do that? Josh and Ira talk through their own personal tips and tricks.

Also, Josh recommends Hotel Hell, and Ira recommends The Batman, which is on Max.

How To Make Sense Of David Lynch (Cutting Room Floor #227)

"Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper." David Lynch pushed the boundaries of filmmaking. He was known for his surrealism, his expressionism, his images, and, much of the time, for not making sense. He certainly wasn't interested in explaining himself to the audience. But the genius of David might actually be how much, at his best, he really did make sense, he really did have something to say. So...how does one figure that out? WE DISCUSS!

Also, Josh recommends Owning Mahoney, and Ira recommends Conclave, which is on Peacock.

Rest In Peace, David. You will always be the best of us. Thanks for all the fish.
