The Pod & The Pendulum

New episode & we talk a sequel that's way better than it has any right to be. Perkins as a tortured Norman, Vera Miles' heel turn, Dennis Franz-weirdo, hitting old ladies with shovels and Robert Loggia-OJ salesman. It's PSYCHO 2 time

TOP TEN HORROR MOVIES OF 2025

When we discussed our individual top tens for the year, we talked about how overall it was a “good not great” year for horror that was frontloaded, but darn it’s pretty cool to see the recognition for SINNERS & FRANKENSTEIN.

A Prelude To PSYCHO: Alfred Hitchcock in the 50's

Before we check into this quaint little motel we found just off the beaten path, @brianwaves42.bsky.social & @mikesnoonian.bsky.social are taking a look back at Hitchcock’s most creatively & commercially successful decade:

This week we offer up something a little different.

With our coverage of Psycho kicking off next week, we thought it would be great to look at Hitchcock 1950s and how that informed his choice to make a little splatter film

Lastly, the world is a negative enough place already. Let’s go after targets that actually deserve it. So I appreciate you listening and coming over from psycho analysis but let’s keep it civil

For nothing except hopefully the enjoyment of one another’s company. Well, I don’t always agree with Devon. I have never found him to be a contrarian, and I personally love the fact that he forces me to view movies from a different perspective than one I would’ve considered.

Respectfully, going to ask you to delete this post. I have nothing but love and respect for each and every one of my cohosts. I understand that no one can be for everyone and if anything I am the week link of my own show more often than not, but my friends are giving their time and energy every week
