In this limited series, Spencer Robelen investigates queer themes and gay characters in the films of Alfred Hitchcock. But in doing so, he also rediscovers the origins of his own queerness, including his hilarious obsession with Hitchcock movies as a kid. Part memoir, part film club, this podcast is the gay movie scavenger hunt you never knew you needed.

I’m really enjoying this podcast. As someone who was super into Hitchcock in my teens before I knew I was queer, it's really hitting the spot. Each episode has been fascinating so far. I've revisited a few Hitchcock movies recently and this makes me want to revisit more and also try to watch the few I haven't seen.
