This week, Ellis and Smith discuss 'The Birds,' Hitchock's movie about that time all birds went buckwild and started mauling people. We talk about the various utilites of metaphor in addressing the picture, how fucking weird the non-birds parts of this movie are, the impressive job Hitch does in never giving you anhything close to a satisfactory cause and effect in the movie, and the less than impressive job he did in 'Respecting Tippi Hendren.'  At the end of this episode we say that next week's episode will be "THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP," available to watch here. But in real life we called and audible and will be talking about David Lynch's Dune instead. It's on HBOMax, which is a problem for Corbin, because he doesn't really HAVE HBOMax, per se. Wish him success in this journey.
