Ken (a Left Coast Hollywood survivor) and Frank (an independent filmmaker from New York) share their bicoastal, idiosyncratic, and often hilarious takes on a curated collection of films that are truly worth talking about.

'Vertigo'

In part one of this special two-part episode, we fall into Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958) — one of the most haunting and psychologically complex movies ever made. From its hypnotic visuals and Bernard Herrmann’s swirling score to its exploration of obsession, identity, and control, Vertigo remains a masterpiece that still fascinates critics and filmmakers decades later.

Tune in as we explore the making of Vertigo, its critical reception, and why it continues to rank among the greatest films of all time — influencing directors from Martin Scorsese to David Lynch.
