Hosts Michael and Tim begin a new series focused on the biographical films of Jimmy Stewart, starting with The Glenn Miller Story (1954).

How does this film compare to another musician biopic, The Buddy Holly Story (1978)? What is Michael’s connection to Buddy Holly—beyond growing up in Lubbock? And are these fellows obsessed with Jimmy’s frequent co-star Harry Morgan of M*A*S*H fame?

Join us as we take a look at one of Jimmy’s all-time biggest box office hits.

Concluding their look at the films Jimmy Stewart made with Alfred Hitchcock (with spoilers galore), Tim and Michael get into Vertigo (1958). Along the way they touch on the revival of The Muppet Show (2026), lunchboxes, and comic books for the first several minutes (with some Jimmy nods for good measure).

They also rank their favorites of the films. What are yours? Reach out to us at podcast@jimmy.org and you could be featured on a future episode. Enjoy.

Continuing their series on Jimmy Stewart’s films with Alfred Hitchcock, Michael and Tim dive into The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), breaking it down scene by scene. Along the way, they talk about everything from the odd reality of being typecast as a creepy-looking villain to spotting familiar faces hidden throughout the film.

Also in 1956, Grace Kelly and Alec Guinness starred in The Swan—and quietly launched a years-long practical joke involving a traveling tomahawk. Here’s the story Tim mentions:
