Description: Forty-seven minutes in, Alfred Hitchcock murders his leading lady in a shower and changes cinema forever. Audiences in 1960 had seen nothing like it, helped by Hitchcock quietly buying up copies of the novel to keep the twist secret.Psycho (1960) was shot fast and cheap in black and white with his television crew, scored with those shrieking strings, and sold on a marketing campaign as devious as the film itself. John, Westy and Matt take on Hitchcock's direction, the shower scene (78 setups, not a single stab actually shown) and the legacy, then score it out of 10. Best you don't run a bath after.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:⁠⁠Join the ATRM Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're across all major social channels too:Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@ATRightMovies⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@allthe_rightmovies ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our movie group⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠alltherightmovies.com⁠
