About this listen

Alma! We're covering another Alfred Hitchcock film with 1963's The Birds.

It's Hitch, so prepare to get technical with Trace's production history and thanks to another essay from It Came From the Closet, Joe has a compulsory Melanie & Annie queer reading on deck.

Plus: the one scene that doesn't work; our favorite pieces of editing; why bitchy Melanie is our fave; and this week's game: sequel or remake!
