HitchPod - A Podcast About Alfred Hitchcock Movies Dan Liebke, Cat Jones

We continue our look at the 10th best Hitchcock movie according to our listeners, by comparing Hitchcock’s Rope to the Oscar’s Best Picture of the same year, Hamlet. Sort of.

We also discuss Shakespeare’s IMDB page, the scientific method, and the big twists of both Desperate Housewives and Psycho, before revealing the 9th best Hitchcock movie via the still quite improbable medium of cryptic crossword clue.

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!
