Summary

After tackling its two sequels, we're finally crossing off a classic with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). Turns out we have a ton to say in this supersized episode, which makes sense considering the film is technically masterful, features iconic sequences and boasts two stellar lead performances. Plus: a 'pregnant' production history, Baters and momism, Gus Van Sant's 1998 shot for shot remake, and a variety of (queer) readings of Norman Bates.
