🎙️ EPISODE 647: 02.17.23                 I didn't mention this on the podcast, BUT.... — big announcement here, folks; are you ready for it? — whenever I review a "lost film" which, by definition, is probably the stupidest things I've ever done on this website/show among a goddam litany of fucking brainless things, I am going to award said motion picture with the prestigious score of a perfect 10 out of 10 bags of popcorn. Why do this? Because I'd like to believe that these works of art MIGHT be so magnificent. Is that so wrong? To DREAM? Well, if it is then LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! Haha jk. Remember that shit? (Hillary Clinton for Prison!!) But seriously, the only thing stupider than me talking about and 'reviewing' said "lost films" is going to be these write-ups for them. They will be the worst dreck of this venture godforsaken venture and that, folks, is a PROMISE.

In 1922, Alfred Hitchcock obtained his first shot at directing for Gainsborough Pictures with the film Number 13 (or Mrs. Peabody). It's considered Hitchcock's first feature film. Clare Greet and Ernest Thesiger were to star as husband and wife. The story was about low-income residents of a building, financed by The Peabody Trust, founded by American banker-philanthropist George Foster Peabody, to offer affordable housing to needy Londoners. It was released on May 6, 1922.
