Screen Time: Rebecca (1940)

Over the past couple weeks, we’ve been talking about the novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier—it’s a story about murder, obsession, and finding out the person closest to you harbors an awful secret. Honestly, it already sounds like a Hitchcock movie. And so sure enough, we’re taking in some Screen Time this week with Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 film adaptation to talk about the charm of the Transatlantic accent, and how the Master of Suspense diverged from the book.Follow us on Twitter!<a href="https://twitter.com/DanaSchwartzzz">@DanaSchwartzzz</a><a href="https://twitter.com/JenAshleyWright">@JenAshleyWright</a><a href="https://twitter.com/koramadrama">@koramadrama</a><a href="https://twitter.com/melissaFTW">@MelissaFTW</a>and Tien has wisely gotten off Twitter but is on Insta <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hanktina/">@hanktina</a>Still ahead, we'll have Screen Time with the 2020 Netflix adaptation of Rebecca (oh we have thoughts...), we'll also pick up where we left off with HBO's Lovecraft Country, and we'll start in on our next book, V For Vendetta!

A group of smart, funny friends meet together every week to talk about the book they’re reading—a book that just so happens to be incredibly buzzy and in the zeitgeist because it has an adaptation coming up on the big screen or via streaming. Because when everyone at work is talking about it, we want to be the smug ones who can say we actually read the book first. Hosted by Dana Schwartz, Jennifer Wright, Korama Danquah, Melissa Hunter, and Tien Tran. New episodes every Monday!
