88 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Rebecca (1940)

View show details

We are 88 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they get a little Hitchcockian and meet the winner of 1940's Best Picture - Rebecca.

We find ourselves in the hangover year from Gone With the Wind with Rebecca, another dark love story - but one where we trade American aesthetic for European sensibility, large scale for intimacy, and sweeping color for black and white cinematography at its best. Rebecca tells the tale of a whirlwind romance across class barriers that sees our nameless heroine become the wife of the luxurious de Winter estate; but the lingering memory of Max de Winter's deceased wife (you'll never guess her name) threatens to derail it all. If you're a fan of Hitchcock, you've likely seen, and enjoyed, Rebecca; but will the Brainrot crew's takes introduce a new twist?

In this episode you're gonna hear:

How Hitchcock's Catholic upbringing informed his film catalogue
Our thoughts on falling in love on vacation
If therapy-speak may actually have a legitimate place in this movie
Which current pop icon we are surprised hasn't made a song about this movie (shoutout this being the 13th winner)

Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin
