2025/10/29

Turn on the shower. Disrobe. Cue the music! Tonight, Ben Lewandowski and I consider the merits of the classic 1960 thriller PSYCHO, directed by the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock.

Ben and I had a great time discussing these films and we hope you will have just as good a time listening to our ram...

In 1980 Director John Carpenter released one of the finest ghost stories in cinema. 25 years later the film was remade, following the same blueprint for the most part while introducing new elements.
