Psycho (1960): "Mother is Mothering" ft. Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks

Spooky Tuesday — A Horror Movie Podcast

Of course we saved the best for last for Mommy Issues May! For our latest theme month's grand finale, there was only one real option for what to cover, and we knew we wanted to do it up right. That's why we invited some new friends to join us for a stay at the Bates Motel as we talk with Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks about all things Psycho (1960). Arguably *the* most famous Alfred Hitchcock classic, this film literally changed the game for the genre, setting the scene for all kinds of iconic films that followed. It's definitely the blue print — so listen in as we explain the term MacGuffin, debate exactly when things went wrong, and find all sorts of extremely important connections to The Polar Express on a new Spooky Tuesday.
