David and Tamler dive deep into Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 hallucinatory classic, Vertigo. Why does this movie seem to gain stature among critics and academics every year? Is this a really a exploration of Hitchcock's own obsessions and sexual repression? Is it a story about filmmaking and celebrity? Or is it just a twisty noir thriller about a man who has no job and can't kiss to save his life? Plus, some thoughts about bad reviews on Rate My Professor and why it's hard to get feedback about job performance in academia. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/verybadwizards" rel= "payment">Support Very Bad Wizards</a> Links: <ul> <li><a href="https://click.fireside.fm/e/NDgxOTk" title= "Relax (Short film by Matthew Herbertz)" rel="nofollow">Relax (Short film by Matthew Herbertz)</a></li> <li><a href="https://click.fireside.fm/e/NDgyOTc" title= "Bob Einstein on " the="" rel="nofollow">Bob Einstein on "The Ringer" podcast</a></li> <li><a href="https://click.fireside.fm/e/NDgyNzA" title= "Vertigo (film) - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow">Vertigo (film) - Wikipedia</a></li> <li><a href="https://click.fireside.fm/e/NDgxOTY" title= "Vertigo | Scanners | Roger Ebert" rel="nofollow">Vertigo | Scanners | Roger Ebert</a></li> </ul>
