What Movie Should We Do Next?

A movie can be dumb and still be fun. Psycho Killer on Hulu manages the rare trick of being dumb and exhausting, and we tried, we really tried, to meet it halfway. Ryan Barron North and James Crosslin kick things off with our three part method: we rate the film out of five, we walk the Golden Path to find the deeper message (if it exists), and then we insert ourselves into the story to see how it changes when characters make even one smart choice. 

From the opening tragedy to the last second conspiracy twist, we break down the biggest plot holes and “wait, what?” decisions, including how the film handles police work, FBI involvement, and a bonkers jump toward Three Mile Island. We also talk craft: flat performances, awkward staging, cheap masking choices, and why the movie feels like it was written by someone who never googled anything, including how people act in danger, in grief, or in a room full of cultists. 

Then the conversation gets sharper. Psycho Killer leans hard on Satanism as a shorthand for evil, and we unpack how that plays into a modern satanic panic atmosphere and conspiracy flavored storytelling. A bad slasher film is easy to forget, but a bad slasher that echoes real misinformation can hit differently.
