Psycho 1960 (AFI #14) and Psycho 1998 (RT 39%)

In which we learn that Gus Van Sant should just keep counting his money.

"The first American movie since TOUCH OF EVIL to stand in the same creative rank as the great European films"

“As Norman Bates, Vince Vaughn makes us better appreciate how much Anthony Perkins brought to the original project.”

Same title, same shots (mostly), slightly different results from the critic’s circle. In our Mother’s Day episode (get it? Sorry.), Mike and Dave take a close look at the classic, PSYCHO. To get a slightly different angle, Dave finally watches the remake from 1998, which Mike is weirdly obsessed with, and has been since 1998.

Will any of this hold up? Is there any reason to watch the 1998 version? Listen and find out!
