Rebecca is #244 on IMDB's Top 250 Movies as of August 2024 (the number may differ based on when you listen).

It explores themes of jealousy, identity, and the haunting presence of the past, all set against the eerie backdrop of the Manderley estate. We also touch on the tension between Hitchcock and producer David O. Selznick during production, the visual style, performances, and so much more!

Life is Beautiful is #26 on IMDB's Top 250 Movies as of August 2024 (the number may differ based on when you listen). In this episode, we delve into Roberto Benigni's story of resilience, love, and the power of imagination set against the horrors of the Holocaust.

All this and so much more!
