Ep. 73: The 39 Steps (1935) w/ James Beaudry

The first step is admitting you have a problem… and as you know with this show, there are two! 

This week, Matt and Cody begin their month of friend episodes with the person responsible for bringing them together in the first place, James Beaudry! James brings his unique Directing perspective with this Hitchcock favorite. The guys talk Alfred’s film legacy, the hallmarks of his early era, and what tropes would inevitably become his calling cards. Not to mention: fashionable coat work, slippery travel situations, sheep that won’t sleep, horny inn keepers, and what brought all these clowns together in the first place! 

So leave the pony ‘round the corner, muster your best (or worst) Scottish brogue, and join the passing parade as Night Howls makes for the Highlands! 

Thanks for listening!
