Hey, is this a Hitchcock remake of a Hitchcock movie? if it is, we must be watching the 1956 version of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" - a newer version, filmed in America, of a movie Hitchcock had done 20 years prior in England.

CineMcCollough HitchcockTober #14 - The Man Who Knew Too Much (2023-10-19)

Perhaps Alfred Hitchcock's greatest cinematic achievement, though it was not considered as such when it debuted in 1958... we finish off our fourth year of HitchcockTober with "Vertigo."

The ELEMENTARY FILM SCHOOL JANITORS are back to celebrate a holiday classic: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE!

Bonus! They also review the SNL classic "lost finale" skit!

ELEMENTARY FSJ: It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Review

In one of the most magnificent careers in cinema history, Alfred Hitchcock outdid himself with a run from 1951 to 1960 that encapsulated not only some of the best Hollywood films of the decade, but of all time. In the middle of this impressive flex is Hitch’s complex ode to gender roles, gender relationships, and expectations. Hitchcock, who already had gone everywhere and done everything for film, challenged himself by limiting everything except his imagination. Rear Window was shot on one set with minimal actors, and included his lead actor not just staying in one room, but staying in one chair for the entire film. Casting Jimmy Stewart, America’s all town boy, against type as a voyeur, Hitchcock uses a high form of the Kuleshov Effect to tell an insidious tale of murder in the big city. Join Dave Anderson and I as we muse scene by scene through the Master’s use of light, incredible technicolor camera panning, and do I need to mention Grace Kelly, to create a subtext describing the phases, levels, and intricacies of being in love and being human. Along the way we discuss Stewart’s role as the first Redditor, De Palma’s aping of the master, and how even Die Hard rips off Hitchcock.

After Rear Window, Dave and I decided to find out how long into the night we could go drinking beer, talking about Hitchcock, and discussing his 2024 Letterbxd, David Lynch, Beavers, the nature of God, the duality of man. The meaning of life. Is wrestling fixed? What is Martinizing and why does it only take an hour?

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors

Hosted by "Lord" Rob McCollough, Jeremy "Jay" Forman, and Patrick "Butch" Brennan... we tackle the tough issues like boxing, movies, sports, music, and Star Trek
