Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (opens in a new tab) (1960) stars Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, an unmarried woman who’s in love with Sam Loomis (John Gavin), a man under the debt of his deceased father and living ex-wife. In a move of desperation, she sees an opportunity to change her circumstances and takes it in the form of 40,000 dollars.

Christine Makepeace (opens in a new tab) (The Feminine Critique (opens in a new tab)) joins Mike to discuss Psycho and its legacy, sequels, Turkish remake and more. Alexandre Philippe (opens in a new tab), the director of 78/52 (opens in a new tab), talks about his fascinating documentary which takes apart the famous Psycho shower scene.
