Myopia Movies

Skyfall

This week on Myopia Movies, we bathe in the waters that are James Bond, starting with a kickass classic sounding Bond song and ending with Home Alone. We watched the last great Bond film, Skyfall, which doubles as the greatest M movies. This is a dusting off of an old, behind the Patreon Paywall episode, so be kind about the fact that my voice has aged terribly.

Vertigo

This week on Myopia Movies,we step onto the ledge of cinematic obsession with Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo — a film that turns love, identity, and acrophobia into an existential spiral. Jimmy Stewart plays a retired detective with a fear of heights and a talent for projection, and Kim Novak plays… well, let’s just say she plays a lot.
Is this 1958 classic still a mesmerizing masterpiece of psychological suspense, or is it just Hitchcock working out his therapy sessions on-screen? Does the dream logic and slow-burn pacing hold up in an era of TikTok attention spans? Or does it collapse under the weight of its own neuroses?
Strap in, stare down from that bell tower, and try not to fall — as we put Vertigo to the test of time. Did it hold up, or were our memories just spinning?
