Unexpected Episode with Alfred Hitchcock

Tetragrammaton: Rick Rubins' conversation with the "Master of Suspense"

If you thought the Jim Morrison episode was unexpected, here’s one for you. Rick sits down with Alfred Hitchcock, the legendary "Master of Suspense." Known for his visionary storytelling, Hitchcock didn’t just make movies, he transformed the psychological thriller, setting the standard for suspense that still influences filmmakers today.

In this episode, Rick explores Hitchcock’s creative genius, discussing the techniques that made classics like Psycho, Vertigo, and Rear Window iconic benchmarks in cinema (and title sequences and posters for another icon Saul Bass). Hitchcock’s insights into building tension, character psychology, and visual storytelling come alive, giving listeners an insider’s look at how he crafted films that have left audiences on the edge of their seats for decades.

A must-listen for film lovers and anyone fascinated by the art of suspense, this conversation dives deep into the mind of one of cinema’s greatest auteurs.

Reminds me of that scene within Superman were he taps into his Jor-El consciousness for advice. Makes you wonder if one day AI could store all of life’s wisdom for people to tap into whenever they need it.
