18. Hitchcock & Wheatley (Rebecca)

Welcome to the latest episode of the MOTION PICTURES podcast.
Your hosts, Carl Sweeney & Tony Black, in a special crossover event with THE MOVIE PALACE podcast, focus in on Daphne du Maurier's legendary Gothic melodrama REBECCA.
We focus on Ben Wheatley's brand new adaptation, drawing comparisons and differences with Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1940 version, and discuss the new film's ins & outs. Does it do the novel justice, or Hitchcock's film? Does it track with Wheatley's previous output? And who, exactly, is this new version for?
Plus! We share our thoughts on BORAT: SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM after the last episode, and discuss the intriguing possibility of NO TIME TO DIE premiering on a streaming service...
