Episode 16 - Anthony Perkins and Norman Bates: Psycho and Sequels

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS OF THE FILM "PSYCHO".

LIKE YOU HAVEN'T ALL SEEN IT ALREADY.

THERE ARE ONLY LIGHT SPOILERS OF THE FILMS, PSYCHO II, III AND IV.

In this episode, we look back over the four Psycho films which star Anthony Perkins and completely ignore Psycho 1998 because seriously, eff that film.

Val recounts the theory by critic Donald Spoto as to what Psycho 1960 is really all about, then moves swiftly on to the overlooked classic sequel Psycho II.

Anthony Perkins himself directed Psycho III, and Val explains why this eccentric, arthouse entry into the saga doesn't meet the standards of its predecessor but is still worth your time.

Finally, Henry (ET) Thomas gets a chance to don the dress in Psycho IV and Val reckons even that film adds a little something to the story.

Come! Join us! As we discuss murders, mothers and LARGE KNIVES. Along the way we'll also discuss the cinema habits of 1970's patrons and pooing in the shower.

It's a very full episode.
