Rated R, but only for some extreme vulgarity at the very end.
For the 102nd Next 100 Project podcast (and our 248th podcast overall), we dive into “Fred” Hitchcock’s supposedly favourite movie with all its squirm-inducing sexual innuendo. This flick has some of The Master’s best-ever devious subtext. Bev’s also got intriguing theories about Uncle Charlie’s true identity and about Hitchcock’s possible contempt for America during WWII. Ryan gets to bust out his worse-than-mediocre impression. What’s not to love about this episode?
