  • The Prestige (Magically Transported From Behind The Paywall Edition)
    Feb 28 2024

    Uh-oh! What's all this, then?

    We just went to edit the Mutiny on the Bounty vs The 39 Steps episode and discovered that most of Cat's audio was missing. We won't get a chance to rerecord that episode until next week, so, to hold you over until then, we've decided to release one of our paywalled What Would Hitchcock Do? episodes. It's The Prestige (2006). Enjoy!
