Join host Benjamin Schneider with guests Casey Haltom and Allen Stafford as we dive into Alfred Hitchcock's groundbreaking thriller Psycho (1960).

We explore the film's tight narrative structure, why the iconic shower scene still resonates with modern audiences, and Hitchcock's masterful storytelling pivot from Marion Crane to Norman Bates. Casey shares first-time reactions while Allen provides deeper insights into what makes this film a cornerstone of cinema history.
