In Episode 14 of Out To Get You, we are joined by writer and host of Best Issue Ever, Sara Century (When I Walk Into The Darkness, The Forgotten Five, et al.,) to gaze into the maw of mankind's avian anxieties, and all things left unsaid, in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 monster mood piece, The Birds.

Content Warning:

This episode contains discussion of sexual assault, workplace abuse, grooming, compulsory heterosexuality, animal abuse, the decline and fall of matte paintings, and other topics that may be sensitive for listeners.

In this episode, we discuss the power of anxiety, through the lens of ecological disaster, shattered families, and closeted societies, in this underrated-but-infamous thriller starring Tippi Hedrin, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Veronica Cartwright.
