Psycho was Hitchcock’s biggest gamble of his career… and the behind the scenes stories are even crazier than the shower scene. We tell the story of how Hitchcock bet his own money on this movie after the studio wanted nothing to do with it. We get into how he pranked Janet Leigh on set and why this movie stuck with her for the rest of her life. We break down the filmmaking tricks that made Hitchcock the master of suspense. And we give our honest reaction to a 1960 classic that one of us loves and the other… not so much.
