Dive deep into the world of suspense and spirits as Bob and Brad embark on a thrilling journey, scoring the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, with their patently ridiculous 5-point directorial metric.
We dissect Hitchcock's iconic style, from the innovative editing techniques that kept audiences on the edge of their seats to the cinematic cohesion that binds his filmography into a unified legacy of thrillers.
Then, we sample three new American Single Malts from Old Line Spirits.

15:45 Old Line Spirits and a Special Announcement
When you think of Hitchcock, you imagine the silhouette of a rotund figure, and the themes of suspense and psychological thrills immediately spring to mind. But what if we told you there's a way to measure the immeasurable? That's right, folks – we've taken the Hitchcock enigma and broken it down into a 5-point metric that would make even the man himself raise an eyebrow in curious skepticism.
In this episode, we're not just talking about Hitchcock's films; we're scoring them. How does the Master fare when it comes to editing? Can "Shadow of a Doubt" hold its own in terms of performances? There's only one way to find out.
Bob and Brad take you on a journey through what makes a Hitchcock film tick, dissecting the elements of storytelling, cinematography, and the uniqueness of the master of suspense.
But wait, there's more! Old Line Spirits’ American Single Malts are on the tasting block, offering a palette of flavors as varied and exciting as Hitchcock's filmography. Will the spirits score as high as the films? Tune in to find out.
