That's fascinating to learn that that was a change in the novel, that he forgets it because why then to change it to this military trauma thing and then he had to associate that with the pop star.

and there are specific if you look closely in the movie you'll see bills for which are these movies were are anachronistic in terms of when this happened but elvis is a double trouble okay and then nashville rebels right whale j is very telling and as we discussed i think in the episode if you look at the plots of those movies and just the whole thing with elvis right is he you know did he really die in the doubling thing and the impersonator the double trouble and the whole monarch sort of mind control trope of the double and the the twin and it's it's clear i think that they're suggesting something like again like the imsa theory here the illuminati mind slave artist theory in association with Satanism and the third world demonism in connection with elite Satanism and the rest of it, the whole complex, the Epstein complex, perhaps, or whatever we're going to eventually have to call it.

ChrisHOST
28:21
Like, so Hitchcock really, really wanted to go after some of these sort of like big time authors, especially at the time for this, right? Like throwing out names like John Steinbeck, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler.
ChrisHOST
28:33
I mean, who the fuck does Hitchcock think he is? Right.
ChrisHOST

These are novelists
Chris RyanGUEST

Both my parents read them.
Chris RyanGUEST
40:58
So my dad had tons of Ian Rankin books, Ed McBain books, Elmore Leonard books, and then some more classics of the genre lying around like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.
Chris RyanGUEST
