 The premise was simple enough. Watch the (almost) complete works of Alfred Hitchcock, legendary director of Psycho, The Birds and North By Northwest, and do so in chronological order.
That's exactly what Jim McDevitt and I did in A Year of Hitchcock: 52 Weeks with the Master of Suspense.
But it's not what we did for the podcast. Oh no. We hung out, got casual, and talked about Hitchcock -- not to mention sitcoms, 1980s TV, music, other great films and directors, and pop entertainment in general -- during the course of this casual audio companion to A Year of Hitchcock.
