The Curious Charade of Being Alfred Hitchcock: 56-57, 476, 611
from Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie Podcast · host AnthonyReviews
We broadcast this episode from our deathbeds as we recall the halcyon days when we would climb inside a little wet portal, engage in thrilling spy adventures with Cary Grant in tow, and also talk about movies or whatever. Hitchcock continues to whelm us with “spy” “”thriller”” the 39 steps, which we don't…hate? Charade picks up the pace quite a bit, much to our surprise and delight, all for Benjamin Button to come in and derail the vibe with his weird little old baby body. Being John Malkovich provokes a discussion about Charlie Kaufman while giving Sean the excuse to call something "Kafkaesque," which you better be sure he really, REALLY appreciates.
