“The Birds” might not be top-tier Hitchcock, but it’s definitely worth talking about. And that’s exactly what Will and Billy do in this, the first Out of Theaters commentary track. Start playing it when the blue Universal Pictures Presents logo appears (on the original U.S. theatrical cut of the film) and you’ll hear a synced track where we discuss the film’s plot, characters and special effects, as well as offer behind-the scenes trivia and talk about how miserable poor Tippi Hedren must’ve been in certain scenes. We also point out Hitchcock’s cameo and the film’s many, many rear-screen projections. Enjoy!
