Description

Ryan and Justin try to unpack the conspiracy behind "The 39 Steps" (1935) and in the process, think about...

• cliches in the conspiracy sub-genre, and in this movie
• Hitchcock's struggles with character depth
• the film world's oddest dying/last words
• deep thoughts on conspiracies both real and imagined
• our Verdict
• next week's film: "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (1954)

*warning* Next week's film callously uses the Roman legend of the abduction and rape of the Sabine women as a major plot element in a way that can be seen as trivializing the gravity of such offenses.

Did we get the movie wrong? Tell us why! And let us know what films you think we should cover.
