GGP Episode 146: Rated C for Champagne Toasts, Choking Chickens, and Corpse Parties AKA ROPE

This week we're going waaaay back to 1948 and covering Alfred Hitchcock's ROPE. This groundbreaking film was an experiment in long takes, color films, and how much queer subtext you could get away with during the restrictive Hays Code heyday.

Next time we'll be looking at WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE.

Stay spoopy ya'll!
