Episode 061 - Psycho IV: The Beginning

We made it to the fourth instalment of the Psycho franchise, and it was quite the bookend. Exploring the origin as well as the ultimate fate of our beloved Norman, this combination sequel-prequel was a fun way to transition us back to the original film.

We made it to the fourth instalment of the Psycho franchise, and it was quite the bookend. Exploring the origin as well as the ultimate fate of our beloved Norman, this combination sequel-prequel was a fun way to transition us back to the original film. The guys had their differences on this one, but were able to agree that Psycho IV gives the audience an appropriate conclusion. With a “stream” and of course a continued “buy” from Ryan, one thing is for sure: Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates means it’s worth checking out.
