There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

For those confused, Part Two and Part One have switched titles. This is Part 2

[@SteverenoOFFICIAL]

I put off listening to these episodes for awhile. I am a huge Hitchcock fan and I basically wanted to stick my head in the sand and avoid finding out things that might make me unable to enjoy his movies. But if there is one thing BtB should teach us it is that ignoring bad things doesn't turn out well. I knew all of the horrible things he'd done to Tippi Hedren, but I had not heard about a lot of his lifetime of pranks. Some were pretty funny, others really crossed a line. I don't know if any of that really shifted my opinion on the man. I am still very torn with The Birds and Marnie. I had no idea Tippi dealt with multiple days of birds being tossed at her; I had always thought it was 1 take where she wasn't told it would be real birds. I was simultaneously shocked it was allowed for that many days and also sort of impressed that Tippi actually did it. I want to believe that she was trying to stand up to Hitchcock and trying to say 'I'm strong, you won't break me' but it could have been she didn't see any other option. Interesting thoughts about Roar. It wasn't just the cats that were dangerous. An Elephant broke Tippi's leg in its trunk. I don't know how severe the break was, but the moment it happens is in the movie, which I kind of understand...if you are filming and you get something that real you kinda have to include it 😅

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's kind of one of those situations where, like, you have heard a lot of the stories, but, because he made interesting work, it's always relayed as some kind of silly magic he had or part of his whimsy as a creative person. "Isn't it silly how he tormented people constantly? What a scamp" is basically how most biographers make it sound. He made good art, but he's just another on the pile of the many, many artists who were unbothered by the cost or were fully deluded into thinking that the potential results permit you to do anything. Speaking of Roar, I've got a weird soft spot for it, in spite of it being so dangerous. It wasn't just the actors getting attacked. For example, one of the cinematographers got scalped by one of the lions. It's hard to imagine being allowed to keep making that movie.

[@ryllo2886]

This is part 2

[@corvuscallosum5079]

can confirm that this continues to be part 2

[@posthumano8679]

I think this still is part 2

[@NeiZaMo]

It's called in medias res, look it up.

[@portmantologist]

I was wondering why he started by saying "we are continuing to talk about Alfred Hitchcock".

[@fen7662]

Yesssss. Shadow of a Doubt is soooo good. Not a fantastical thriller like The Birds, but it taps into the paranoid fear of doing everything right and getting your life turned upside down by a series of councidences.

[@nerodia]

All this talk about directors putting their actors through real trauma to get realistic trauma on screen. But then the absolute best at depicting trauma on screen, David Lynch...no actor has a bad thing to say about how he treats them. He doesn't micromanage, he encourages their creativity in the roles, and they keep coming back to do work for him even when their careers are big enough that they could make more money doing most other roles. There are two ways to get believable trauma acting out of people. One is to traumatize them, and the other is to help them be the best actor they can be, and it's indicative of the toxicity in the film industry that Lynch is the widely renowned "great director" who actually treats his actors like actors and not pawns.

Depending on the person some will identify psycho as the first slasher but there's also an argument for blood feast being the first

[@mintman325]

I had the opportunity to dance with Kim Novak. We were at the same function. She had just gotten done with dinner came up to me and said “I like your voice it’s very sexy.” I’m like 20 heart beating out of my chest. We get done she says, “You remind me so much of Jimmy.” I had to ask, “What was Hitchcock like?” “Let’s just say sweetie I’m happy he’s dead”

[@caydencayuga7876]

Tippi is from my hometown

[@azoic6]

Michael Keaton = best Batman

[@willieluncheonette5843]

yeah, he could be a real bastard sometimes. Of course then you have movies like Leave Her to Heaven where the director, John Stahl, almost killed the kid Darryl Hickman in that amazing lake scene, making him do take after take until he was totally exhausted.

[@Coffeemancer]

this guy are sick
