This week Mike, Brian, and Stephen take on the task of breaking down one of the most daunting sequels ever made, Psycho 2. Following in the footsteps of his idol, director Richard Franklin (with a major assist from writer Tom Holland) crafted a two decades later follow up to Hitchcock’s horror masterpiece. The result is a better-than-it-has-any-right-to-be sequel that explores the fractured psyche of Norman Bates as he tries to maintain his sanity and live a life of normalcy. Bolstered by a stellar cast including Meg Tilly, a returning Vera Miles, a then-unknown Dennis Franz, and orange juice pitchman extraordinaire Robert Loggia, Anthony Perkins returns as the haunted Norman Bates, and delivers a performance that rivals his star-making original turn.
