3.48 – FAMILY PLOT and Reinvention
The final Hitchcock film in our mini-series is his last motion picture, 1976’s FAMILY PLOT.

The next in our Hitchcock mini-series is his 1948 masterpiece (can you guess whether or not our reviews were positive?) ROPE. We talk about the importance of the script, the marrying of form and function, and what happens when reality meets philosophical thought experiments.
S2E12 – Return of Porky III
The Tooniverse’s classic hero turned villain is back in the mix, and it can’t be long before he makes another bid for power. Meanwhile, a directionless Bugs Bunny makes a new enemy of the short-fused Colonel Shuffle.
