The 39 Steps (#4)

Finally - the Master of Suspense gets his spot! This week, Brendan and Jason dissect one of the early films of quite possibly the most well-known film director of all-time, Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps. What follows is a discussion about the very modern fast pace of the film, how the film may have inspired every wrongfully-accused man-on-the-run movie ever (or even every piece of escapist fiction in general), the portrayal of Canadians and their accents, Hitchcock's very real fear of police and how it factors into the plot and much, much more. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week. Join us, won't you? Full List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_Top_100_British_films Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forscreenandcountry Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bfi_pod Our logo was designed by the wonderful Mariah Lirette (https://www.instagram.com/mariahhx) For Screen and Country is sponsored by Podcoin (use the promo code "SCREENPOD" when you sign up and receive 300 BONUS podcoins).
