Have You Seen: Psycho (1960)

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.This week we revisit Psycho from 1960, a psychological thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles and Janet Leigh, about an encounter between on-the-run embezzler Marion Crane and shy motel proprietor Norman Bates and its aftermath, in which a private investigator, Marion's lover Sam Loomis and her sister Lila investigate her disappearance.We talk about whether the movie's famous twists still work for someone watching Psycho for the first time in 2025, how the movie elegantly evaded the censors of the time, which one of us thinks the name Hitchcock is funny, how Hitchcock anticipated spoiler culture by a good 50 years in the movie's promotion at the time, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast
