This week on the show, Jeff’s audio is crap, but the conversation is great! John kicks us off with a mini-review of Steven Soderbergh’s “Black Bag”, starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender. Once he gives his thoughts, we gripe about filming expenses in LA and the US as a whole and compostables before getting to our featured conversation, “Dial ‘M’ For Murder”, the Alfred Hitchcock classic. Our second time visiting 1954, we give you some context by reading some film facts and trivia, American facts and trivia, and then get to the show.
