S14 Ep706: Psycho (1960, W❤️M)

“This is one of those movies I wish I could’ve seen opening night in 1960” - Eric

On this week’s episode, We ❤️ Movies Month kicks off with a total banger as the guys discuss the prequel to Psycho II, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho! How great is this Bernard Herrmann score? Is Marion eating a cheese and mayonnaise sandwich? Would the film have been as good if Norman was cast more book-accurate (middle-aged drunk)? And would Hitch have enjoyed modern fast food like the baconator? PLUS: Norman Bates tangles with the Skeleton League and their new ally, Swamp Thing!

Psycho stars Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, John McIntire, Simon Oakland, Frank Albertson, Patricia Hitchcock, Vaughn Taylor, Lurene Tuttle, John Anderson, Mort Mills, and Martin Balsam as Det. Milton Arbogast; directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
