We just went to edit the Mutiny on the Bounty vs The 39 Steps episode and discovered that most of Cat’s audio was missing. We won’t get a chance to rerecord that episode until next week, so, to hold you over until then, we’ve decided to release one of our paywalled What Would Hitchcock Do? episodes. It’s The Prestige (2006). Enjoy!

We also discuss absurdly named millionaires, the ridiculous ease of 1930s car theft and George Bush memes, before revealing the 11th best Hitchcock movie via the still quite improbable medium of cryptic crossword clue.
