Bodies of Horror: Episode 40 - Rear Window (1954 / 1998)

In this episode, Nichole is tackling 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.
