HitchPod - A Podcast About Alfred Hitchcock Movies

There's a bogus Cat on the podcast, and the real Cat has to come out of retirement to sort it out all out, as we discuss our final movie, 1955's To Catch A Thief. We delve into innovations in the insurance industry, predecessors to The Suicide Squad, sockless shoes, inappropriate attraction to Grace Kelly and much, much more!

We also reveal our plans for season 2 of HitchPod, which will be a rewatch of the 20 best Hitchcock films, as voted by you, our listeners. Vote at www.hitchpodonline.com/top20 to have your voice heard.

We did record a 52nd episode of our podcast. Honestly. It was here a second ago. It had MacGuffin debate, wildly popular spinoff podcasts and heroic attempts to not get too bogged down talking about cricket. Please, you must believe us. Our episode on The Lady Vanishes from 1938 was just here.

(Also, keep an eye out for our Hitchcockification bonus episode in which we Hitchcockify Gone Girl too.)

Much like a farmer desperately searching for a wife, we're desperately searching for a 50th episode. And we find it in Hitchcock's 1928 silent film The Farmer's Wife. Topics discussed include heist movies starring digital Hitchcock movie actors, the hilarity of removing one's hat and optimal rejection lines.

We're backstage, caking ourselves in makeup as we flash back to discuss Aventure Malgache, the second of Hitchcock's short World War 2 propaganda films. We cover Wizard of Oz tributes and alarm clock Morse code before determining once and for all what movie you get if you play this one backwards.

Plus: eagle-eared listeners might hear a cameo background bark from our new puppy.
