This week Maria reviews the complete collection of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour - television anthologies of the great auteur's TV work before he moved into making films. Thanks to Madman!
Dr. Maria talks to Mikey about the new documentary on John Casablancas (Elite Model Agency founder, record label honcho and father of Julian 'Strokes' Casablancas), Casablancas: The Man Who Loved Women.
Dr. Maria brings in Alex Gibney's 2016 documentary, Zero Days, about Stuxnet - a computer worm designed by the US Government. Capable of taking out industrial control systems (power grids, ATMs, telecommunications), it was initially designed to scupper Iran's nuclear program, but the virus/worm grew to be a much bigger threat.
Dr. Maria talks to Mikey about the 'Tasmanian Twin Peaks' television series, The Kettering Incident. What is it about the hyperreal, the surreal + TV narratives set in small towns? Also: Mike talks a fair bit about hippos. Fair enough.
