In this episode, Nichole tackles a heavy hitter: 1954’s Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, along with conversation about 1998 made-for-TV remake starring Christopher Reeves.
This was a big one and Nichole couldn’t do it alone, so she brought in her friend Kevin – a fairly intense Hitchcock film fan and all-around phenomenal human being.
