Start your showers and follow us closely (like a certain graduate of the Bob Hoskins School of Stout Handsome Gentleman, Arbogast) as we go back to one of the foundational films for the horror genre: Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film, Psycho.
We all go a little mad sometimes, but along the way, we talk about the real villains of housing markets, toxic masculinity, and 1960s homophobia.
You think we're fruity, do you?! Well you don't even know the half of it!
