Welcome to the second episode of The Hitchcock Challenge!
Episode 2 Features a deep dive into Hitchcock's lost film, The Mountain Eagle!
This episode has been adapted from our Youtube video where we SHOW each surviving photograph in (our theoretical) chronological order in order to understand the plot of the missing film. Here we describe each photo and postulate what it all means, and ask the question...should this film be found?? (The answer is YES, PLEASE!)
Join Kenny, Sam, and Lantz as they watch every movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock in chronological order and break them down in extreme detail. The first ten episodes, covering Hitchcock’s silent career originally premiered (or will premiere) on YouTube as Presenting Alfred Hitchcock. Future episodes will be made with the podcast in mind.
This series is about reviving the excitement for these old movies, looking at them through a modern lens and actually challenging ourselves to step away from Netflix and corporate TV we normally love and consume. We do the research on the behind the scenes gossip, break down iconic and less than iconic scenes, give Maguffin reviews and talk WAY longer than anyone else you'll find online. Hitchcock history is discussed and we will add relevant research materials to the episode bio’s for your own further reading!
Unfortunately, The Hitchcock Challenge will NOT have a regular schedule. New episodes will air as we are able to complete them. The challenge for you is to watch all of his films in chronological order with or without us! It will be a worthy endeavor, we promise!
