The End Is Nigh! Well, for Cine-Lit it is at least. For this final episode in an almost three-year run, including over 70 podcasts on a crazy range of subjects, we are bringing the curtain down on Cine-Lit. But we couldn't go out with a whimper when we could go out with a bang. Adam and Darrel sit down and talk about Great Movie Endings. And of course, with a great movie ending, there is always the possibility of a great movie resurrection...

Alfred Hitchcock made some of the most well-respected films of all time, Vertigo currently tops the Sight and Sound list of the 100 Greatest Films of All Time but what about some of Hitch's lesser works? Adam and Darrell take a look at two films shot and released during a particularly purple patch for the director. In the midst of films like Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest and Psycho, these two films seem to stand out like criminals in an identity parade. One is a black comedy while the other is based on a true story and leans heavily into film noir. Join us as we talk about Harry and Manny in The Trouble With Harry (1955) and The Wrong Man (1956).

Cine-Lit hits the mean streets of Gotham City as we rundown the lowdown on that nocturnal crimefighter Batman. As the rich history of Batman is a big subject matter, we break it down and cover Batman from 1989 through to the late nineties. In this episode, we talk about Tim Burton's initial two films, Joel Schumacher's two later films as well as the impact of the Batman: Animated Series on the history and legacy of Batman. Plus, Adam manages to wax lyrical about Prince too!

It is a term that is bandied about by part-time film lecturers and self-styled academics, but what is it? A term popularised by Alfred Hitchcock, the MacGuffin is the sometime incidental 'thing' that the characters in a film desire, need or are in search of. Adam and Darrell put aside their quest for the Maltese Falcon and run down the 39 steps to get to the bottom of the legendary MacGuffin.
