Blake and Rich take on a Hitchcock classic in episode 7 with Strangers on a Train. We talk plotting the perfect murder, horn-rimmed glasses and playing tennis without a ball! Join us as we discuss our preconceptions of 1950s society and whether it is acceptable to simulate a strangling at a dinner party. We also examine the unexpected importance of a carousel to this movie and we see how this classic film can be transformed into an equally wonderful 80s comedy. Oh, and we talk crêpe…so much crêpe!
