Episode 146 - Rope (1948)

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Steven and Antony to chat about Hitchcock, high rise hijinks and homicide.

It’s 1948 and we are discussing the master of suspense’s most technically challenging movie to date. Starring James Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger, join us as we take a peek in the trunk and chat about Rope.

“You're quite a good chicken strangler as I recall.”

Brandon and Philip are two young men who share a New York City apartment. They consider themselves intellectually superior to their friend David Kentley, and as a consequence, decide to murder him. Together they strangle David with a rope and placing the body in an old chest, they proceed to hold a small party. The guests include David's father, his fiancée Janet, and their old schoolteacher Rupert, from whom they mistakenly took their ideas. As Brandon becomes increasingly more daring, Rupert begins to suspect.

Episode 145 - The Blues Brothers (1980)

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul to chat about Catholic nuns, crazy Nazis, Chicago Illinois and both kinds of music; country…and western.

It’s 1980, it’s Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi on a mission from God. Directed by John Landis with support from a whole host of musical legends….ladies and gentlemen, The Blues Brothers.

“We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.”

After his release from prison, Jake (John Belushi) reunites with his brother, Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) -- collectively known as the "Blues Brothers." Jake's first task is to save the orphanage the brothers grew up in from closing, by raising $5,000 to pay back taxes. The two are convinced they can earn the money by getting their old band back together. However, after playing several gigs and making a few enemies, including the police, the brothers face daunting odds to deliver the money on time.

Episode 144 - Carrie (1976)

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul to chat about high school proms, pig’s blood and bat-shit crazy mothers.

It’s back to 1976 for a look at Carrie starring Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, William Katt, Nancy Allen and John Travolta….directed by Brian de Palma.

The story of Carrie White, a girl brought up, almost in isolation, by her domineering, religious mother Margaret. After an embarrassing incident in the showers causes her classmates to tease Carrie ruthlessly, her teacher Miss Collins disciplines them severely. However, one of the students feels sorry for what she did and asks her boyfriend to take Carrie to the senior prom instead of her. Determined to have revenge, the other students hatch a plot against Carrie, which turns horribly wrong when Carrie's strange mental powers are unleashed during the school prom.

“I can see your dirty pillows. Everyone will.”
