Filmspotting: Reviews & Top 5s   /     The Enduring Power of Hitchcock's "Psycho" and Oscars Homework

Description

After a string of lush, star-filled productions in the ‘50s, Alfred Hitchcock went small(er) and sinister with Psycho, which went on to become Hitchcock's best-known film and one of the most influential films of the last sixty years. For this Sacred Cow deep dive (2:04)—reviewed in anticipation of the upcoming Best of the '60s edition of Filmspotting Madness—Filmspotting considers a picture that remains unnerving and full of mystery even after a half-century of critical analysis. Plus, listeners weigh in on M. Night Shyamalan's hit-and-miss career (52:33), and Adam and Josh turn in their Oscars homework (1:02:08) with thoughts on ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, Andrea Riseborough in TO LESLIE, and Best Documentary Feature nominee NAVALNY.
