A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Ep. 541: Vertigo (1958) — The Greatest Movies of All Time
Thursday Jan 18, 2024
Thursday Jan 18, 2024
Dear friends and familiars, we welcome you back to our Anti-trash 2024 marathon. This year, we have decided to tackle the Sight and Sound greatest movies of all time. We now find ourselves at the feet of the former reigning champ—a one-term champ—Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. The classic from the Master of Suspense finally usurped Citizen Kane in 2012, but fell victim to a new title-holder in 2022. So, how does the second greatest movie of all time hold up? We discuss Hitchcock, dream logic, obsession, and much more as we analyze Vertigo. Join us now—but don't lose your footing!
