About this episode
The hosts discuss Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 horror masterpiece 'Psycho' and its impact on the genre.
Mother's not quite herself today… but we are. John, Matt, and Westy check into the Bates Motel to tell the story of Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece — the film that reinvented horror, traumatised a generation of shower-takers, and proved you really can kill your leading lady 47 minutes in. Expect chocolate syrup, screeching violins, and a Master of Suspense mortgaging his house to make it happen. Big opinions, big laughs, and one very unfortunate private investigator. Telling the story of Hollywood one film at a time.
