The bonus pod is here and it's all about the menswear in North By Northwest (1959)! Spencer, Ethan, and MJ talk about this whirlwind of a film— and the iconic grey suit (with white shirt and grey tie) worn by Cary Grant as Roger Thornhill (or is it George Kaplan?). It's truly the star of the film, going through a drunk drive, being framed for murder, and being run down by a crop duster (who also had a gun, people forget that)! Not only that, but it gets sponged and pressed in 20 minutes. Hitchcock's thriller is full of great style and a lot of grey suits with solid ties. We discuss it all in this pod!
