Summary

Yes, the episode goes long, but the subject is, after all, a masterpiece: Vertigo (1958). Mike explains why it's the second-greatest time-travel film of all time, Dan argues that the film has the best kiss in movie history, and both talk about how the most convoluted plots can help great artists explore the most basic, recognizable emotions. It takes one's whole life to watch Vertigo, so think of this episode as a signpost to navigate one of Hitchcock's best.
