Ep. 67: Hitch On The Run: A Look At The Themes Of ‘The 39 Steps’ (1935) & ‘North By Northwest’ (1959)

Zach welcomes back podcaster and master of brew Andrew Sanders (Pop Culture Brews, Surrounded by A**holes) to chat about the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock, with a deep dive into the concurrent themes and tropes found in 1935’s ‘THE 39 STEPS’ and 1959’s ‘NORTH BY NORTHWEST’.

Settle in for an extraordinary episode for ordinary blokes as the two circle around the way Hitch used prior work as a training ground for later films, learn more about his approach to ‘Man on the Run’ stories, dive deeper into the ‘Hitchcock Blonde’ trope, and analyze the benefits and detriments that each version of the same story contains.

PLUS: James Mason won’t leave any of us alone.
