Publisher's Summary:
Mention "the shower scene" and everyone knows what you're talking about, even if they haven't seen Psycho. Turns out the actress Janet Leigh was never completely nude for the filming. That silhouette behind the shower curtain was Playboy bunny Marli Renfro, Leigh's body double. Renfro describes what it was like to shoot the now iconic scene. Produced by Studio 360's Jess Jiang.
Next, throughout the 1950s, reports of sex crime and pathological murder rattled America. Psycho both exploits and "explains" one such murder, with a rather heavy-handed psychiatrist. But beyond the screeching violins and the risque shower scene, the movie's real legacy is that Hitchcock makes us care so much about a deranged killer. Produced by WNYC's Sarah Montague.
Then, in the last decade, American movie studios have been skittish about building storylines around terrorism. Meanwhile in India, Bollywood has been making lots of films that depict the sensitive topic. WNYC's Arun Venugopal shows Kurt how Bollywood is doing something Hollywood won't.
Finally, when film critic David Gilmour's son Jesse was flunking out of school, he let him drop out - on the condition that Jesse would watch movies with him. In his memoir, The Film Club, David describes the curriculum he devised. Father and son tell Kurt how it went. [Broadcast Date: June 12, 2010]
