 North by Northwest: Spies, Suspense, and Suits This week on PIC SIX, Jeff and Brad take off running (literally) into the world of Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary thriller, North by Northwest. From its unforgettable crop duster chase to the dizzying showdown at Mount Rushmore, they break down six key moments that define why this film still sets the standard for suspense, style, and storytelling. They’ll talk about:
  • The coolest character moments from Cary Grant’s iconic performance as Roger Thornhill
  • Their pick for the most jaw-dropping scene (it’s harder than you think)
  • Prop pieces they wish they could steal straight from the set
  • The best one-liner dialogue exchanges that still sparkle today
  • Wild trivia facts you won't believe about the making of the film
  • A few fun "what if?" scenarios, like recasting with modern actors, imagining a different genre twist, and whether Denzel Washington or Jack Nicholson could've handled this adventure better
Plus, Jeff and Brad dig into the sheer impact of North by Northwest — how it shaped the spy genre, inspired future filmmakers, and why it still feels so stylish and sharp decades later. Fasten your seatbelt (or at least grab your best gray suit) — it’s a wild ride through one of cinema’s most thrilling classics!
