THE BIRDS (1963) ft. Lexi Van Dyke // The Hitch Is Back

Published on: 14th November, 2023

Don't fall in love or it'll cause the end of the world...we think? The boys are joined by Lexi Van Dyke (Schooled By Cinema Podcast) to discuss Hitchcock's (slightly controvserial) film The Birds. We discuss the drastic tonal shift, the odd love square of characters, and how this film is much darker than you remember. Let's take a hit and pass that spooky shit!

NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase haha
NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under "Bloody Blunts" however the show didn't change, so Season 3 is where we continued as "Specter Cinema"
