Not everyone is aware that Hitchcock actually started making movies all the way back in Britain’s 1920s silent era. Now that we’ve watched all of those films (that are available, anyway), we take a look back and think about what we’ve learned. What takeaways can we glean, not just about Hitchcock, but about the film industry in general, and–dare we say–ourselves? We discuss!
Also, Josh recommends Peaky Blinders on Netflix, and Ira recommends Andor on Disney+.
(note: for anyone listening along as we publish these, this CRF was actually recorded back in August of 2023, last year--so, some of the personal updates are a little outdated at this point)
