ATC Presents: Hitchcock - Week 1 / Ep. 105

On Episode 105 of the Always the Critic podcast, we kick off the month of May with a brand new series covering “the silhouetted man,” “the master of suspense”: Sir Alfred Hitchcock. Rico Albarracin and Jessica Firpi talk through his early life, education, and first films, stopping to discuss at length Blackmail (1929), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The 39 Steps (1935), and The Lady Vanishes (1938). What are some surprising genres Hitchcock touches on? What thematic elements does he favor? Did we spot the Hitchcock cameo?
