We continue our look at the 3rd best Hitchcock movie according to our listeners, by comparing Hitchcock’s North By Northwest to the Oscar’s Best Picture of the same year, Ben-Hur.
We also discuss NPC deities, Heston-hidden homoeroticism and the Ben-Hur drinking game, before revealing the 2nd best Hitchcock movie via the still quite improbable medium of cryptic crossword clue.
