Norman Bates, my favourite horror villain. I especially like the bit in the first movie where he goes "now you've gone and made me PSYCHO II!", which is why they named the sequel that.
@@nigelpisswater484 people have been doing those kinds of jokes for a long time, mostly in film shitposting groups. With the release of Morbius and its ironic fandom they morbed up into the mainstream
ok I never get to bring this up but since it's finally relevant, I always thought the cover of the Richard D. James album was some sort of promotional still for the Psycho remake. Only years later did I realize Aphex Twin wasn't Vince Vaughn.
My favorite Hitchcock movie is Rear Window. I couldn't believe how a movie set in one room, mostly looking out a window could swoop me away into movie bliss.
The Lady Vanishes is underrated as fuck. It's one of the best films Hitchcock ever made, but it never gets mentioned in the same ranks as Psycho, Vertigo, etc.
My favourite aspect of Rear window is the relationship between Lisa and Jeff. Lisa (played by Grace Kelly) is my favourite female character in cinema. If you want to understand what a strong female character REALLY is then watch Rear Window.
I like the Jay and Josh matchup. It’s a change of pace from the Half in the Bag format and truly highlights their love and knowledge of film and film history.
Jay is a great sort of all around guy for each person on the crew to kind of talk about their favorite things. Jay and Rich talk about movies, Jay and Mike talk about filmmaking, Jay and Josh talk about film as an artform.
You slid over the absolute most brilliant moment. We're on Marion's side. She gets killed and we're thrown for a loop. We feel for Norman as he cleans up, but we're still thinking, 'Oh poor Marion." He puts her in the car. Puts the car in the swamp. The car starts to sink. The car stops. Bam. Right there, and we're on Norman's side. 'Oh no, he's going to get caught! What's he going to do? How can he fix this?' Then the car continues to sink. But we've already shifted. Now we are completely Team Norman. Brilliant.
So I clicked stop after "It's one of those movies I wish I could see for the first time again". I'm one of those rare people that hasn't seen it. Should I watch the original Hitchcock or the remake?
I watched Psycho at like 25 without knowing any twist at all. As soon as my husband realized I had no idea, he got so excited and kept watching me for my reactions to everything.
17:43 I love that scene between Norman and Marion and the way the camera angles change as the scene progresses. It starts off as a pretty standard 2-shot, with the camera going back and forth between the same camera angles. But when Marion recommends that Norman institutionalize his mother, Norman starts getting upset and the camera angles start to change, including the stuffed animals, more ominous lighting and signifying that something important is happening.
I got the magical treat of showing Psycho to my girlfriend, who had literally no idea what the movie was about. I was in the same boat as Jay, having the whole movie spoiled for me before I even saw it, so getting to vicariously experience a first time viewing was pretty great.
I’m always kind of spooked out by the explanation scene at the end. It feels like telling scary stories at camp or something. It gives me this notion that yeah, we may be safe now, together in this room, but there’s shit out there and we can’t just stay here forever. I actually really like it.
I didnt like it actually. they just explain the plot of the movie you just saw at the end. its fine to have been done back then but i dont think its a valuable scene nowadays.
If Mike were here, I imagine he would have found a way to mention that John Anderson, the actor who plays California Charlie the used car dealer, was in an episode of TNG.
Re:View is maybe my favorite RLM series. I love watching people discuss movies they love, especially movies that may fall outside of the general mainstream appreciation window. I know PSYCHO doesn't really qualify in this regard, but hearing Jay and Josh talk about these films in-depth, in a manner more intellectual and deep than the usual YOOOO HAHA WEIRD BUT TRUE HEY HEY RUclipsr approach is legitimately enriching and delightful. Thanks to RLM for keeping things smart and dumb at the same time!
The painting Norman uses to conceal the peephole is apparently “Susanna and the Elders”, based on the Bible story of a woman secretly observed bathing.
Psycho 2 is a great sequel with Perkins effortlessly recreating Norman Bates. Richard Franklin was a Hitchcock scholar and it showed. Sadly the rest of the franchise couldn't maintain the quality, although Perkins third film does have it's moments
Anthony Perkins was sadly stuck with Norman Bates for his whole carrier. He is brilliant but it really impacted his other roles. Only other major film I saw him in are Green Mansions, Mel Ferrer's directorial flop, and he is romantic interest there, which doesn't work just because he is Norman Bates, forever. You expect that he kills Audrey Hepburn, not be her lover.
4:08 Your probably not far off - because if I remember straight (from reading plenty of bios on Hitch) it was basically Hitchcock's way of aping William Castle. His films along with a plethora of other cheap thrillers and horror films were flooding the market at the time and Hitchcock saw this as sort of a challenge. Could he make a cheap sorted B-thriller? It wouldn't be the first time Hitchcock saw a popular trend in film and try to make one himself just to see if he could (3D with Dial M for Murder as one example). He made sure that he did it with the TV crew to keep cost down to pretty much guarantee a return in case it was not a huge success - especially after experiencing some costly flops the decade before (Vertigo was especially a thorn in his side at this point).
Fact: People in the 50s and 60s, and even beyond, would just go into a movie whenever, watch the rest of it, and then watch the next showing up to the point where they began watching. Seriously. I know, it's nuts. A friend of mine's mother even did that with him as a kid in the 80s. Like, they'd walk in to Back To The Future at the point where George McFly falls out of the tree, and then they'd watch through that showing, and THEN they'd see the beginning of the movie last!
This is a super cool discussion. As someone who never knew about the Psycho sequels it's really interesting to get the cliffnotes version and some commentary on them. Jay/Josh discussions on weird obscure movies are some of my favourites.
I have to say, this is a case where I'm glad I grew up an oblivious millennial. I never really heard much about Psycho past the famous shower scene, so it shocked and amazed me the first time I saw it as an adult. You better understand how this movie terrified people in the 60's, it's definitely more frightening when you go into it blind.
9:46 There's a toilet scene in The Grapes of Wrath (1940) but I can't remember if it was shown or just heard. And that itself was predated by Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers of 1939 (1939, duh) where 64 toilets all spiral down into the mouth of Hell to the tune of It's Only a Paper Moon but those were highly stylized and presumably not actually plumbed, although the neon effects were lit.
The fourth season of Twin Peaks will probably be about by the time they get there review out. And yes Mark Frost and David Lynch are making a 4th season! I'll fight anyone who says otherwise!
Brandon Powell At this point they should just say Season 4 is a thing. Mark Frost, David Lynch, Showtime, and all of the cast have been hinting at it, so I’m thinking they’re probably writing it now
@@pseudo_bread David Lynch has stated that the remaining missing pages of Laura Palmer's diary could be the way back in. When someone asked him about it he said something along the lines of "The message is coming through but it isn't very clear yet." If you ask me that's as good as official confirmation.
I guess I'm one of those rare people who watched Psycho without knowing anything about it. A relative got me to start watching old movies and I saw this when I was maybe around 15 because he recommended it. And it's one of those movies that I wish I could erase my memory of it and experience it all over again. I envy anyone who doesn't know what it's about, or sees any Hitchcock film for the first time. Every single time I watch the parlor scene, even the first time, I rewind it over and over. One of the greatest written, acted, and directed scenes ever.
I loved how they deal with exposition in the beginning, with shots of Janet Lee in the car driving and the voiceover of the other chars telling whats happening, like shes going over things in her head.
I actually DID see this movie without knowing anything about it. My dad just refused to answer any questions I had while it was on. I was scared, fascinated and absolutely blown away.
The reason I feel that Norman was generally accepted back by the town was based on what the sheriff said about him in the first movie. He said he knew Norman all his life and was surprised that he was being unresponsive when he spoke with him offscreen at the end of the movie, and his wife also helped pick a dress for Mrs Bates' funeral, implying that the family was friendly with some people in the community. I mean, when we first see Norman, he seems like a nice guy, so that may be how the people saw him.
I was lucky enough to see Psycho without knowing what any of it was about the first time I saw it. Admittedly I was 8 and the babysitter who had put it on was later arrested for stealing ladies underwear from washing lines. But hey-ho, I'm out of therapy now.
Once again, this is my favorite combo for re:view. Josh and Jay are probably the most analytical and well-spoken reviewers on youtube. I want more of these two doing horror reviews not going to lie.
It's a minor, stupid thing, but I really appreciate that the segment where they're discussing _Psycho_ is in black and white, but before and after that is in colour. Well done to whoever made that editing decision
I really love Anthony Perkins, not only was he a wonderful actor, his sons are super talented, Oz's Blackcoat's Daughter might be my favorite horror movie of the modern era
At 27:01 translation from b/w to color with movie transition. Tiny details like this are why RLM is best on site by far. Thx for the attention to detail.
ReView is becoming my favorite RLM series. Love seeing the boys reviewing stuff they're actually passionate about. Yet there's also few things more satisfying than watching them trash a lot of the contemporary drek Hollywood shits out on Half in the Bag. Wait, I love "Best of the Worst" too. Now I'm just confused and rambling.
I find it extremely fascinating that the prototype for the Slasher sub-genre is practically the only villain that redeems himself eventually. Every other slasher is essentially a proxy for the "big movie monster" that people enjoy watching cause chaos and mayhem. What makes it even more entertaining is that he's actually treated as a human being, one that makes mistakes, has flaws, and isn't nearly as black and white as The Shape or Freddie, or even Jason who was also at the whims of his mother. I dunno man, I just really like the depth of Norman as a character and the Psycho series in general.
Some weird Psycho 2 trivia: Meg Tilly didn't want to do a full nude shot, so they got a body double for her. They got her younger sister, who hadn't really been in movies at the time. Yet. The end credits simply say Meg Tilly's body double was named "Jennifer."
I watched Psycho on late night tv when I was about 12. I knew absolutely nothing about it. I can confirm that it was frigging terrifying. I genuinely had no clue where it was going. Part way through it just changed. I was disturbed by the film for a very long time afterwards. I can't say I enjoyed it. But I couldn't turn it off. Nothing in this world has affected me like Psycho.
Wish I had seen it before watching this re view, now I know the twists in it so I dont have a strong urge to see it. I managed to watch the original first one knowing only about the shower scene and im so glad I didnt know anything else.
Hey! Ive never seen this movie, until tonight. The only thing Ive ever seen from Psycho is the infamous shower scene, and I knew nothing else. I took the recommendation and watched it for the first time. I am so shocked at how great this movie is. That twist completely shocked me. Awesome video guys.
Psycho 2 was directed by the drummer in my dad's first band. I never met him, but there is an interesting fact. Anyway, I love the channel guys. Keep up the good work!
I always loved how casually Norman scooped up the envelope with the newspapers,when cleaning up,like the biggest thing in one person's life is literally meaninglessness in someone elses
I highly recommend seeing the original "Psycho" in a movie theater, especially in 35mm. The brilliant subtleties of Anthony Perkins's performance are more apparent on that big screen and it really wowed and impressed me. Great video, guys!
ShiksaWithChutzpah1 I saw it at a local theater four years ago. They show older movies from time to time, but I think they use a Blu-Ray player if anything. They recently showed the 89 Batman movie and something about the aspect ratio suggested they were using a digital video input.
I'm a huge Hitchcock fan and I have to also say, that Psycho, even though being a masterpiece and indeed probably Hitchcock's best known movie, isn't even in my personal Top-5 Hitchcock movies list: 1. Vertigo 2. Rope 3. Rear Window 4. North By Northwest 5. Trouble With Harry... and then there's 6. Birds and The man Who Knew Too Much and whatever. Of course, this is more of a testimony of how damn good director that dude was. Great episode.
15:24 What the...? I like to come back and watch this re:View around Halloween time. Did they make you mute the Re-Animator music because of copyright issues? If they did, that'd be pretty hilarious considering they totally ripped off the Psycho music wholesale. 😂

I'll never forget the ending reveal in Psycho when it turns out the murderer was Rich Evans all along
The mother in turn had a second personality that is Rich Evans.
Oh myyyyyy gawddddddddd

I like beer.
Porfirio Diaz The original for sure.
What if Marion Crane had escaped Norman in the shower scene?
That shower scene is so ingrained in pop culture that it's a cliche, yet its still intoxicating to watch. Very clever editing and blocking.
Indeed. Not to mention the excellent use of chocolate syrup.
It would not benefit from being more graphic, imo. Not to mention it wouldn't have got released. But it is a little quirky.
I still luv The Simpson's parody when Maggie attacks Homer
Not to be that guy but you’d probably call blocking mise en scene when referring to film

First movie to show a toilet FLUSH. Flush, not just be there.
Greg thank you
Anybody know the first movie to have a toilet TALK?
@@paulrippcord506 Or Dumpster fires, wait...
@Jojo Lolo - Look Who's Talking 2. Just a wild guess.
No Time for Sergeants (1958) had a whole room full of toilets that salute, forgot if they flush.

Omg yes... that explanation leaves a creepy impression on the viewer even after she leaves the cinema...
I didnt like it actually. they just explain the plot of the movie you just saw at the end. its fine to have been done back then but i dont think its a valuable scene nowadays.
Thank you. I'll try to watch it with that framing in mind
It dives a little deeper into the theme that evil will always exist in various forms and it is inevitable that it will always be with us in some way.

I really love Anthony Perkins, not only was he a wonderful actor, his sons are super talented, Oz's Blackcoat's Daughter might be my favorite horror movie of the modern era
Hasent a Hack got a basic track record ?
At 27:01 translation from b/w to color with movie transition. Tiny details like this are why RLM is best on site by far. Thx for the attention to detail.
ReView is becoming my favorite RLM series. Love seeing the boys reviewing stuff they're actually passionate about. Yet there's also few things more satisfying than watching them trash a lot of the contemporary drek Hollywood shits out on Half in the Bag. Wait, I love "Best of the Worst" too. Now I'm just confused and rambling.
13:00 You left Police Academy 3 out of the Parodies. It's funny cause It's Zed (Bobcat Goldwath ) screaming at Sweetchuck. :P
I find it extremely fascinating that the prototype for the Slasher sub-genre is practically the only villain that redeems himself eventually. Every other slasher is essentially a proxy for the "big movie monster" that people enjoy watching cause chaos and mayhem. What makes it even more entertaining is that he's actually treated as a human being, one that makes mistakes, has flaws, and isn't nearly as black and white as The Shape or Freddie, or even Jason who was also at the whims of his mother.
I dunno man, I just really like the depth of Norman as a character and the Psycho series in general.

Love these videos! And Funeral March of a Marionette at the start is a nice addition too.
Some weird Psycho 2 trivia: Meg Tilly didn't want to do a full nude shot, so they got a body double for her. They got her younger sister, who hadn't really been in movies at the time. Yet. The end credits simply say Meg Tilly's body double was named "Jennifer."
Jennifer would appear naked in a Skittles commercial if asked
Jennifer Tilly is 2 years older than Meg.
I watched Psycho on late night tv when I was about 12. I knew absolutely nothing about it. I can confirm that it was frigging terrifying. I genuinely had no clue where it was going. Part way through it just changed. I was disturbed by the film for a very long time afterwards. I can't say I enjoyed it. But I couldn't turn it off. Nothing in this world has affected me like Psycho.
I didnt expect psycho 2 to actually look good, I just thought it would be some cash grab made for name recognition.
Wish I had seen it before watching this re view, now I know the twists in it so I dont have a strong urge to see it.
I managed to watch the original first one knowing only about the shower scene and im so glad I didnt know anything else.
A boy’s best friend is his rich evans....
Monkey man...
That High Anxiety parody was pretty funny
Love seeing all their old Halloween episodes floating through the algorithm again this October ^__^
Awesome. Can’t wait for part 2. BTW Jay that’s a dope ass jacket.
Hey! Ive never seen this movie, until tonight. The only thing Ive ever seen from Psycho is the infamous shower scene, and I knew nothing else. I took the recommendation and watched it for the first time. I am so shocked at how great this movie is. That twist completely shocked me. Awesome video guys.
Josh: [about bellybuttons] "Most people have them."
Confirmed. Josh is an android and/or alien and/or clone.
I saw the original for the first time the other day and so decided to look up videos about it. This is hilarious and you guys make some great points
Jay dresses real fresh in this one.
I'm loving that Shining shirt

Psycho 2 was directed by the drummer in my dad's first band. I never met him, but there is an interesting fact.
Anyway, I love the channel guys. Keep up the good work!
12:53 - "You couldn't even put a belly-button on TV, and *most* people have one!"
WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T, JOSH
It's a really deep "Space: Above and Beyond" reference.
The cinematography in Psycho 2 and the colour palette looks lovely. Going to watch it this weekend I think. Never seen it all the way through.
Yes.... More RLM now I can make it another week. Love you guys and RLM!! Thanks for another informative video.
Awesome content! Very few people can provide 45 mins of content that I can watch in one sitting. Thanks guys!

I always loved how casually Norman scooped up the envelope with the newspapers,when cleaning up,like the biggest thing in one person's life is literally meaninglessness in someone elses
I highly recommend seeing the original "Psycho" in a movie theater, especially in 35mm. The brilliant subtleties of Anthony Perkins's performance are more apparent on that big screen and it really wowed and impressed me. Great video, guys!
ShiksaWithChutzpah1 I saw it at a local theater four years ago. They show older movies from time to time, but I think they use a Blu-Ray player if anything. They recently showed the 89 Batman movie and something about the aspect ratio suggested they were using a digital video input.
The wife and I enjoyed this a lot!Gonna watch Psycho 2 ASAP. Thanks guys, can't wait for the second part to come out. Keep em' coming
45 min long? Two parts? Yaaaasssssss
Dean Cundey is “the” greatest cinematographer of my lifetime. His work makes every movie he makes stand out beautifully
I went on a Hitchcock frenzy a while back but North By Northwest is probably my favorite. It's still funny as hell!
Isn't that the name of that idiot kanye's kid?
Josh and Jay is my favourite re:View duo, guys know their shit, y'all.
Meg Tilly and Anthony Perkins didn't get along during shooting. He even called for her firing.
I'm a huge Hitchcock fan and I have to also say, that Psycho, even though being a masterpiece and indeed probably Hitchcock's best known movie, isn't even in my personal Top-5 Hitchcock movies list: 1. Vertigo 2. Rope 3. Rear Window 4. North By Northwest 5. Trouble With Harry... and then there's 6. Birds and The man Who Knew Too Much and whatever. Of course, this is more of a testimony of how damn good director that dude was. Great episode.
Also a huge Hitchcock fan. My favorite is Birds. First one I saw as a kid and it just made a great impression on me.
This is just awesome to watch.

What the...? I like to come back and watch this re:View around Halloween time. Did they make you mute the Re-Animator music because of copyright issues? If they did, that'd be pretty hilarious considering they totally ripped off the Psycho music wholesale. 😂
