🌟 Our heroes check back into the Bates Motel with Psycho II, the daring 1983 sequel that defied all odds... and turned out to be far better than anyone expected 😱🏨🔪🪞

Greg proudly shares his love of Psycho II, reopening Norman Bates’s case 22 years later to explore how this unlikely sequel evolved into a beloved cult classic. Realizing the film is far from a cheap cash-in, Andrew finds himself genuinely impressed, digging into the film’s tone, tension, and surprisingly tender, sympathetic portrait of a killer trying to hold onto his sanity 😵‍💫🔪💔

Together, our heroes spotlight the film’s haunting performances, its moral gray areas, and how it transforms Hitchcock’s legacy into something deeply psychological, emotional, and tragic. Is Norman truly rehabilitated… or just haunted beyond repair? 💀🔪🩸

So grab your c-c-cutlery and get ready to light up the dark… one repurposed shower scene at a time 🚿🩸✨
