Starting point is 00:00:00 🎵 It's Free With Ads, the podcast that asks the question, why pay 15 bucks to see long legs in a movie theater when you can go on YouTube for free and watch the director's dad in a movie where he's constantly making sandwiches? I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is Psycho 2, a very late sequel to one of the greatest movies ever made
Starting point is 00:00:48 that is absolutely not one of the greatest movies ever made. Before we get into this movie, which is, as of this recording, streaming free with ads, we're going to talk about something else we saw for free on the internet this week. Other free stuff. Today, we're going to dive back into Matthewcconaughey's social media with a game we call what the fuck is matthew mcconaughey talking about where the goal is to figure out what matthew mcconaughey is talking about um we have a clip here that was posted to matthew mcconaughey's social media around july 4th i think so i think this is intended to be an independence day message
Starting point is 00:01:23 so we will listen to it and try and figure out what the hell he is talking about prepare to have freedom what i mean by that freedom calling audibles hey i'll wing it it's all a good notion but we need preparation to have that freedom. Find out the structure of the situation. Know the rules of the game before you go play it. Now, if you prepare, you look at athletes, they prepare for the playbook. They prepare for the team next week. The more you prepare, the more when you are in the so-called game of life,
Starting point is 00:02:01 you can call your own audible. You can improvise. You can riff because you know your plays and they become instinct you're not even think about them at the time if you prepare prepare to have freedom okay so i love whoever was doing the running the audio for that clip as well. Someone breathing hard into it. And go. Matthew, can you record this video from your private helipad while your helicopter is landing? The people need to hear your message of freedom.
Starting point is 00:02:40 How frustrated do you think his wife is every time she's got to set all this up for him? Oh, yeah. Because I don't think he would know how to do it. No, no, no. Matthew McConaughey has probably never sent a text. 100%. He just sends very long voice messages. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I bet Matthew McConaughey is worse at technology than our parents are. Yes. He's trying to get on he's like i don't know how to fix this fire stick do i set it on fire call one of the kids i want to watch yellowstone i wish i was on yellowstone let me help me help me figure out how to watch and then get on yellowstone how do i put put this VHS into the Roku? Help me, Wanda. I like a fish called Wanda.
Starting point is 00:03:31 I still have hard copy pornographies. It's all like myself. You know Matthew McConaughey has like a bunch of perfect 10 magazines from 1992 that he still cranks it to. Definitely. I feel like he here's what i think it is he records like that's one tiny chunk from a whole hour of him just rambling yeah and then he watches it back while pleasuring himself okay and he goes oh this was the moment
Starting point is 00:04:01 of climax yeah yeah wherever wherever he finishes that finishes, that's the bit that they put up on YouTube. Prepare to have freedom. That's when I came. My favorite thing, he's like, know your place. It's like, bitch, you know your place. This ain't it. YouTube is not your place. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:04:20 Just be a fucking compelling movie star and don't do any of this shit. You should be thankful that he hasn't started a podcast, you guys. Oh, it's coming. It's a podcast by himself. Yeah, I think he's somebody that has too much freedom. I think speaking of freedom, get away from, drop the phone in the pool. That's definitely in front of you.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yes. If you're listening and you're one of Matthew McConaughey's kids, throw his phone in the pool that's definitely in front of you yes if you're if you're listening and you're one of matthew mcconaughey's kids throw his phone in the pool please yes uh i so okay he's talking about like like you know prepare for life but but you know the harder you prepare that that will make it easier for you to improvise but why is he linking it to freedom i guess that's the part that fucking drives me crazy about this one i'm like well what it's like he he knew he was sending it on july 4th so he's like well i have to put freedom in there yeah he's like freedom the freedom to prepare the freedom to riff like i understand the the preparation thing but the freedom part drives me up a wall well Well, also the freedom to riff.
Starting point is 00:05:25 It's like, yeah, you're doing it already. You've clearly not prepared for this video you're making. No fucking shit. Well, you have to remember, at the end of the day, he is an actor, right? So he can only ever relate to his own craft. So when he's talking about freedom, because he knows he has to talk about it for
Starting point is 00:05:46 fourth of july he's like how does this relate to being in a scene you know and so it's like freedom isn't free you know not because you have to fight the war you and me yeah exactly but because you have to you know sometimes you really have to memorize all your parts in a movie and that way you really can riff and everyone's like yeah we've totally been there it's kind of interesting because he is such a good actor like and you've got to read a script and you've got to be smart enough to interpret the words on the page and he's very good at it yeah but it's like then when he does anything else you're like what the fuck is he talking about it's very good at it yeah but it's like then when he does anything else you're like what the fuck is he talking about it's kind of like when beyonce does acting
Starting point is 00:06:30 yeah you're like she's able to convey so much emotion when she sings like she's conveys like a fucking tapestry of emotion but then you put her in austin powers and it's like have you ever talked before i don't know like it's kind of that be attracted to austin powers we all are like i don't know it's i thought you're gonna say dream girls or something but you went with austin powers three oh yeah for sure i mean dream girls was good okay she was good dream girls i'm saying. She was all right, but it's like she's clearly, some people are very gifted at one form of expression. Or if that. And riffing ain't it for you, Matthew. It's just not your thing, okay?
Starting point is 00:07:15 Stick with bringing gravitas to everything you do. Could you imagine him asking his wife to get something from the store? Just like, what is something that would soothe my soul, but also not give me indigestion of the mind? You want yogurt? Is that what you're trying to say? Yeah, what the fuck? Just tell me, get yogurt. Doing a soliloquy to get pudding.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Exactly. A thin skin on top of a sweet dessert. Like the skin on a man. I can't imagine him talking dirty, too. I would love to know what that sounds like. That sounds amazing to me. I can imagine it. It'd be so pretentious.
Starting point is 00:07:59 It'd be all about him. Oh, for sure. Feel my abs. They are good. They are. You're right pretty good um but also i the next time we do this can we please listen to his oscar speech because that is the most baffling shit i've ever heard in my life yeah yeah maybe we'll do it we'll do an oscar oscar speech special of what the fuck is matthew mcconaughey talking yes please and uh yeah i think that was what the fuck is matthew mccon about? Yes, please. And yeah, I think that was
Starting point is 00:08:25 what the fuck is Matthew McConaughey talking about? The game you could never win because it's impossible to know what the fuck Matthew McConaughey is ever talking about. Hey, before we start talking about this week's movie, Psycho 2, I want to do a new segment called We Get Gifts. Yay!
Starting point is 00:08:41 We Get Gifts. So I went to Comic-Con last weekend, the weekend before we taped this. Had a wonderful time. Met some Free With Ads listeners.

Starting point is 00:12:20 it wouldn't be in there that's a wall book which means it's such a rare comic, you would put it on the wall to advertise your shop. Oh, my God. And then he's like, check that booth down there. I think the guy who drew those comics is sitting there. And he was.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Wow. That's crazy. That's so cool. Yeah. Also, does this mean that somewhere in the depths of my childhood closet is like a million dollars worth of drawings of fucking sonic the hedgehog maybe yes you should find those you should i want to know how much they're they're worth you should you should look for i i will i will look i really hope i didn't throw them away you could go on ebay and probably see what people are
Starting point is 00:13:05 selling them for but ebay is not always a great example ruins the fun the fun is is going to you know antiques roadshow and talking to a very old man yeah i wonder if antiques roadshow does comic books and stuff like that it's always like some um magic lamp that has the soul of a witch in it. Yeah. It's always that, Emily. Witches live in lamps, right? That's how Aladdin went. Hey, you gotta live somewhere.

Starting point is 00:14:04 Yeah, Matt, I'll give that to you the next time I see you. Hey, speaking of, this movie has places to live in it, like a hotel or a house near a hotel. It's a motel. It's a motel. Excuse me. Yes, the Bates Motel.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Very famous. I should have known. Hey, this is Psycho 2, made in 1983. The original came out in 1960. Are you two Psycho fans? Yeah. How did you feel going into this? I had never seen it.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I had to do a little bit of rehashing of the first film to kind of remember everything. Because I kind of forgot that he taxidermied his mom for some reason. I forgot that he taxidermied his mom for some reason. I forgot that. I knew he had enveloped her persona inside of himself, where it was like he was two people at once. But for some reason, my brain had forgotten the taxidermy part,
Starting point is 00:15:01 even though I love the TV show Bates Motel, and he's obsessed with taxidermy in that show so it's like you think I'd remember but I'm glad I kind of went back and rehashed it a little bit um I had never seen uh the movie I actually think the birds when we watched the birds that was the first Hitchcock I'd ever seen oh so you've you never seen Psycho 1 I've never seen Psycho 1 wow and now you've seen Psycho 1? I've never seen Psycho 1. Wow. And now you've seen Psycho 2? Yeah. Yeah. And I got to say, without having seen Psycho 1, I still pretty much got it. Yeah. It's one of those movies where you know the plot beats just because it's so in pop culture. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I mean, and they did a good job of telling you the plot beats early on where they're like, he was in jail and i was like yeah because he was a psycho yeah i watched psycho right after we watched the birds because it was free with ads on youtube so i was like let's watch and i but i don't know if i'd watched it before that but i'd watched baits motel and uh which is weird i loved that that is kind of like your thing of having seen alien versus predator but not alien yeah exactly yeah well what's interesting about this i saw that um so the the books there is a psycho 2 book which i didn't know so the first psycho was written in 1959 and then they made the movie hitchcock made the movie in 1960 the second book
Starting point is 00:16:25 was written 1982 and then the movie was made 1983 it was like they couldn't wait to get their hands on this shit yeah so this is something kind of interesting they so there is a psycho 2 this movie is totally different the book of psycho 2 is about norman bates killing everybody on the set of a psycho movie. No! It's like a scream. It's like a scream that came out in 1982. Anyway, I read a little blurb of it, so they totally didn't do that for the movie. I would much rather have seen that movie. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Doesn't that sound kind of wild? Yes, that sounds fun. Super fun. Well, yeah, let's talk about what actually happens in this thing. We start out with the old Universal logo. As I've mentioned before, I'm just such a fucking sucker for using the old logo. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 00:17:12 It's the black and white Universal logo. So cool. And we see the famous shower scene in Psycho. You know, I was thinking, to me, this is an iconic movie scene. Yes. Did you know? I just had a revelation. I think it's an iconic movie scene. Yes. Did you know? I just had a revelation. I think it's an iconic movie scene.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Well, you don't really see her. Well, we do see boobies in this movie, but in the original Psycho, you kind of see silhouettes and stuff. It's the suggestion, yeah. And it is so fucking interesting of like, this movie is so, you know, the like cold film school take about Psycho is it's about suggestion, right? Like it's what you don't see that's scary.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Right. It's what's in your mind. Which is like, in the original Psycho, it's a suggestion of stabbing too. Right. You don't see any penetration of a knife. You just see a knife near skin. Right, and blood in the shower shower which is pretty much what it looks like when i wash my hair and but uh in this movie boy did they have penetration with a knife
Starting point is 00:18:15 full frontal uh or at least full back doll yeah oh there's there's butts and boobs in this um it's so weird of like this is so explicit of like oh between psycho and now halloween happened like yes this movie that is just an homage to the first psycho but it's like so much changed and they just had to make a slasher like people wanted in the 80s so there needed to be tits there needed to be a lot of crazy gore and yeah so weird of like just doing this stuff they're so explicitly left out of the first yeah anyway was it weird for you seeing it in color like because they do the the shower scene from psycho it's black and white and then bam it's color i was like this is like wizard of oz but it's a little bit like the wizard of oz yeah but with more with tits and stabbing
Starting point is 00:19:08 um yeah i always said they should update wizard of oz with more titties yeah let's see those monkey i bet those monkeys got some big natural monkeys got some nice flying balls yeah they got those blown out like puppy mill titties. Oh, yeah. Let's see those puffy monkey tits. Hey, no sphincter on those flying monkeys. They're just shitting everywhere. I don't know. Let's see the tin man's dong. I want to see the cowardly lion fuck.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Why? If I only had a dog. I want to see the scarecrow fuck. It would just give you ticks. Yeah. You just get Lyme disease. You got to check yourself for ticks after you fuck a scarecrow. Everybody knows that.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Worst part about it. So, hey, so we see the shower scene. We go to the Bates house in color. We see that Norman Bates is getting out of jail. He pleaded insanity to all those murders, and he's getting out on a technicality. There's a lady there who doesn't want him to get out. She's got a petition saying we need to leave this guy in jail. This is Marion Crane's sister.
Starting point is 00:20:20 She is the sister of the woman who was killed in the shower. It doesn't work. They let Norman Bates out anyways. He's his social. He's not a social worker. He's like the guy's psychiatrist. It's played by Robert Loja. This is the second Loja movie on Free With Ads.
Starting point is 00:20:39 What was the first one? We had a little bit of Loja and Over the Top. Oh, yeah. That's right. He was the mean dad. Oh, a little bit of Loja in Over the Top. Oh, yeah. That's right. He was the mean dad. Oh, my God. You're right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:49 We're loading up on Loja here. I was wondering why he looks so familiar, but I think it's because he was in Independence Day. Yeah, and a bunch of stuff. I mean, Robert Loja's everywhere. He's just in everything, yeah. He was nice and tan in this. Yeah, he looks good.
Starting point is 00:21:01 He looks good. He looked good in this movie. He's the guy who like, he got Norman Bates out of jail. There's a really funny just explanation of a plot hole in this. Robert Loja says like,
Starting point is 00:21:12 oh, so normally there would be a social worker that comes to look in on you, but cutbacks. So it's like, yeah, this guy's a famous murderer.
Starting point is 00:21:21 It's like, well, cutbacks. You know those cutbacks. There was so many loopholes. So we're just going to let you do whatever you want to. Yeah. Not even a parole officer.
Starting point is 00:21:31 No, he checks in with no one. Also, go back to the scene of the crime where all the horrible murders happened and go live there. Like, what the fuck? And I love that the state apparently assigned a like a ward or like a steward for the Bates Motel while he was away in prison for murder. Yeah. So there's a guy who's running the motel. Yeah. That apparently the state does the state do that when you have a business like, but I
Starting point is 00:22:00 have a small business. Don't worry. We got a guy. We're going to find a scumbag in a bolo tie to run it for you. Yeah, the guy who's in Earl Had to Die, the Dixie Chicks music video. Oh, shit. He's Earl. It's Dennis Franz from NYPD Blues playing this guy.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah, yeah. That's right. He's like a scummy, you know, he's got a bolo tie. He's wearing it over like a Hawaiian shirt. Now, hang on. Don't besmirch bolo ties. Oh, no. I love a bolo tie.
Starting point is 00:22:25 It doesn't mean you're scummy. I know. You have one that's pretty cool. I wear bolos to fancy occasions, but I think if I was wearing it over a Hawaiian shirt while I was selling pot at my motel. For sure. He's turned the Bates Motel into like a place where you come to like smoke dope with your mistress.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yeah. At some point, Norman Bates says, I think he's turned it into an adult hotel. It's such a funny, lame guy thing to say. Yeah, dumbass. I don't think they're letting kids in your motel. I think people know about it. Yeah, I love that he, of all people,
Starting point is 00:23:00 is scandalized about things going on in the Bates motel. Well, I mean, his mother would definitely not approve. His mother would not approve. Yeah, you were the one stabbing people and jacking off in there in the last movie. Someone's doing drugs? No, you're supposed to be peeping on women, jacking off, and then killing them. You know, the way mother likes. The way mother likes. Yes,
Starting point is 00:23:27 mother. So they also get him a little job at a diner. He meets the owner of the diner. It's a sweet little old woman. She's like, I heard it was very Christian to forgive and forget. She's coming back in the most nonsensical
Starting point is 00:23:43 twist of all time. So remember this lady from one scene, because she's going to come back most nonsensical twist of all time so remember this lady from one scene because she's gonna come back and you'll go what the fuck i know um i know so he's got this job at a diner he's like the cook's helper there's a moment where he's like in the kitchen helping the cook and we see a shelf full of cigarettes and i was like it it occurred to me oh probably these kinds of diners they probably just sold you could buy a pack of cigarettes and i was like it it occurred to me like oh at probably these kinds of diners they probably just sold you could buy a pack of cigarettes cool at one point i was like are these ingredients are they cooking with cigarettes in this diner could you get a cigarette omelet just a cigarette burger you know what i was thinking about the other day
Starting point is 00:24:22 is cigarettes and blt and uh cigarettes on the side well done well i was thinking about the other day? Side of cigarettes and ketchup. BLT and cigarettes on the side. Well done. Well, I was thinking about this. Did you guys, were there steak and shakes in California when you were growing up? No. I don't know steak and shakes. Yeah. They have a couple of them out here.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Some of them are closed down. But yeah, I've been to a couple of steak and shakes. Well, steak and shakes were a big thing in like Missouri and they were usually 24 hours. Yeah. And they're really good. So it's like a diner. Well, it's a burger place. It's like they're known for really good milkshakes and like really good.
Starting point is 00:24:56 I think they're even like smash burgers almost like it's really delicious. But for the longest time, they had a smoking smoking section it's like one half of the place is a smoking section there is nothing separating it it's just metal bars yeah that's it just like a like a couple metal railings separating it so it's just like when i think of that like see you talking about this i'm like yeah there was probably just people blowing up smoke in that place. But there's something about smelling cigarette smoke and eating a burger that's like good. I know. Oh, yeah. We're all of a very specific generation.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah. Where our childhood was you could buy, there was like a cigarette vending machine at some restaurants we would go to. Yeah. And smoking sections and restaurants kind of smelled like cigarettes hotels too planes yeah yeah everything just smelled like cigarettes and that was like a normal smell it was a good smell i know and then now it's like completely unheard of we're we're we're old now guys yeah but i also think we're kind of tough yeah we are tough our skin's kind of yellow yeah do you think we have a hacking cough exactly do you think that
Starting point is 00:26:13 it smelled kind of good because we were getting some secondhand smoke from it oh yeah i mean it could be like we were a little addicted to it i just think that you know there's a reason people smoke and it's because it smells kind of good you know it does i love it but just think that you know there's a reason people smoke and it's because it smells kind of good you know it does i love it but yeah so that's that i'm sorry to get off tangent but like yeah that's the cigarettes up there it's like weird there shouldn't there just be a machine yeah i guess they just you know if somebody wants a pack you just uh toss it out from the from the kitchen that was a real money maker i think you want a bunch of chopped lettuce and some Marlboro Lights? Here we go.
Starting point is 00:26:47 So also working at this diner is Mary. She's like a young babe. She is the most trusting person who cannot spot a red flag. There's a little bit of an explanation for it later, but yeah, she just trusts this guy implicitly um she uh on the phone we learned that she like uh broke up with her boyfriend i think most of this is kind of an act we learned later but like yeah in the story at this point she's like i broke up with my boyfriend i don't have a place to stay norman bates takes
Starting point is 00:27:20 her back she he lets her like stay in the house and of course like there's knives everywhere there's so many knives and just everywhere they turn he has to look at this knife and like resist the urge to kill her it's so funny i don't know how funny this is supposed to be but every time there was like someone like accidentally just happened upon a knife or there's a part in the like diner when someone drops a piece of pie and a knife goes in it. It's like you were cutting this pie with a butcher knife. There's so many knives. Well, there's just one main knife in the house that you that kills so many people. It's just like one knife and it kills people in so many ways, too. It's just like one knife.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And it kills people in so many ways, too. It's so great. But yeah, also the actress who plays Mary is Jennifer Tilly's sister. Really? Oh my gosh. Yes. And I was like, she looks so familiar. She's been nominated for an Oscar.
Starting point is 00:28:21 But I really loved her mullet. Because this takes place in the 80s it's like so 80s she's got those little like new wave punk buttons yeah she looks like she's in the go-go's i love her i loved it because it's still like the setting of this town is still kind of set with like it was back in the original movie, but then people and everybody else in the town looks like they're from the sixties, but she stands out as looking very modern to me. And I love it. I found out that exact piece of trivia as well.
Starting point is 00:28:56 And the reason I found out is because I was like, who is this lady who is literally the most beautiful woman I've ever seen? She's gorgeous. And then I Googled her and I was like, oh, that's that's Jennifer. It's Meg Tilly. Yeah. And Jennifer Tilly's sister. Also, I did not know both her and Jennifer Tilly are half Chinese.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Oh, yes. Yeah. Because I was looking, I was like, she looks like Hoppa to me. And I was correct. Interesting. Yeah. And what's interesting, Jennifer Tilly's voice is so kind of iconic. That kind of like voice.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Yes. And then Meg, nothing. No voice like that at all. Maybe Jennifer Tilly's putting it on. Well, I mean, listen. You got to put it on. Like, I'll put this on anytime i'll just go into it who had the career i don't know well i mean but the thing is meg tilly was
Starting point is 00:29:51 nominated for an oscar for agnes of god was she oh my gosh yeah so it's like she had a pretty great career and then i think she kind of became an author there's like she has an interesting career she just didn't for her didn't end up in the movies like consistently the way that her sister was. Well, she's wonderful in Psycho 2. She's wonderful in Psycho 2. And you see her boobs.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Honestly, I kind of think she carries the whole movie, personally. She kind of does. She's great. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Anthony Perkins is the, is Norman Bates here reprising his role. He's definitely the tallest person in the movie. Yeah. Tallest guy. And, you know, like his performance in the first Psycho is so amazing. And it is like he is performing in an older movie in this.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Like he's giving a kind of bigger, cornier performance than the other people. And it's just so interesting to see like how movie acting changed like it just got a little smaller it got a little more like and to see him and robert loge you know like robert loge is such a 70s 80s guy and andy perkins is a 60s guy like he was in westerns and shit so his acting is a little bigger and cornier and he's like telegraphing stuff a little more yeah just interesting to see he's kind of like stuck in stuck in that time yes still doesn't know how to paint a fucking wall but cool yeah when he was painting that wall like painting the outside of the motel yellow it was like you don't got any paint on that brush what are you doing literally this was not his prison job yeah yeah you were just you're like petting a dog with that wall.
Starting point is 00:31:25 That's what you're doing. So yeah, so he's leading Mary around the house. She gets in the shower. We see a lot more than we did in the original Psycho. She's a babe. And he's, of course, peeping on her. He's doing his classic peeper. Which, was it him, him though peeping on her
Starting point is 00:31:45 because it's so good people is so confusing like yeah we're gonna get a lot of twists a little bit later and it is a little bit confusing who does what but i think we're meant to believe he's actually doing the peeping but at this point he's resisting the urge to kill yeah okay but he's still horny he's very horny um and so it is the next it's the next day at the diner he's he's chopping so much lettuce he has a big old knife he just chops head after head of lettuce he's constantly chopping lettuce uh and then sleazy old dennis franz comes in and it's just being a real dick cause he fired. Because he fired him the night before. Yeah, he fired him the night before. So he's like come in to just like be a dick, to, you know, like make passes at Mary.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Anthony Perkins starts getting all these weird notes that are signed from his mother, right? We're wondering if he's hallucinating these or who's leaving these. We think maybe it's Dennis Franz. But we learn later that it wasn't. But he's getting these notes. We're not quite sure where they're coming from and then uh later on uh while Dennis Franz is packing up his stuff we see you know the silhouette of mother and he gets killed gets a big old slash in the face pretty cool effect pretty cool like practical gore effect there's some great practical gory effects boy
Starting point is 00:33:00 there really is yeah and then um and then so we kind of see him in the attic later. And you're kind of wondering what he's doing. He's taking care of his shit. And then we look out and there's just these random teens who are sneaking into the basement. This bit is so fucking beautifully shot. It's amazing. We go from the attic to these kids on the ground floor and we like follow them into the basement there is like a lot of this movie looks really cheap and it looks
Starting point is 00:33:32 really like you know just like kind of crapped out a crapped out sequel to make money but like there is some shit in here that just looks gorgeous this whole section of the movie is good this stuff where they're killing the teens is i I think, the scariest stuff in the movie. It's so well filmed. You see these kind of like teens smoking dope and making out in the basement. You see the kind of mother silhouette come in and kill them. The girl gets away. The kid dies.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Really cool. There are some like sections of this movie that are just like amazing. And then the rest of it is kind of like creaky. But can I talk? oh sorry you go can i ask a question as someone who has not seen psycho one uh-huh um the scene you're just talking about and i think kind of some other scenes in this movie kind of suggests this like classic slasher trope of people are having sex. It's time to die. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Is that a theme or a trope that was used in the original psycho was, was he, I know he was killing people hornily, like looking at, you know, through a peephole, but were, was there a lot of like,
Starting point is 00:34:43 was there a couple that was staying there that he murders uh were there teens who were like showing up at the bates motel to like you know yeah so this this scene to me felt like that thing we were talking about where it's psycho but the 80s so i think yeah so like norman bates was killing because he felt guilty about. Lusting. Feeling sexual attraction to anyone. Yeah, exactly. Oh, okay. Okay. I think the like explicitly killing the teens is so 80s.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yes. Yeah. I think it's them going like, this is the new 80s Norman Bates. But also it's not him that kills the teens. Oh, that's right. Yeah. So it's like. Because of the nonsensical twists in this movie.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Well, it's also like, so that's not really Norman Bates' MO. He's not interested in killing teens having fun. But can I talk about this makeout scene? Oh, sure, please. I don't know if tits go that high, but when he was trying to feel her up, it's like he was just feeling her neck bone. I was like, that's not how
Starting point is 00:35:45 you do it some guys like there's neck guys out there yeah i know but i was like oh maybe it's just that i've i can't remember my boobs not being to my fucking belly button anymore i don't know what it's like to have them up high but it was just so weird to watch it i'm like how are you struggling to find these things i don't know it was the weirdest like to watch it. I'm like, how are you struggling to find these things? I don't know. It was the weirdest like titty grabbing scene I've ever seen. But also they're sitting on this dirty like mattress. Like it's kind of one of those rollout mattresses that you got at summer camp
Starting point is 00:36:18 or whatever. And I was like, I miss Brooklyn. Like a little bit. I was like, that's like every dude's apartment that I would go back to after a bar. I was like, that looks like a $1,500 apartment in Bed-Stuy that I had to bang on. And I was like, and you guys got it.
Starting point is 00:36:37 You had to get bed bugs. You had to get bed bugs. Exactly. And I'm like, y'all got to do it for free. Fuck you. So you got stabbed. Boo hoo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Wah wah. Yeah. You didn't have to listen to anybody's noise rock band. The threat of getting stabbed in one of those apartments was, I think, about as high as it is getting stabbed in the Bates Motel. Yeah, true. So the girl gets away and she tells the cops the cops come over hey I think it's time for hunk watch it's hunk watch um there's a there's two cops at this one talks one
Starting point is 00:37:13 doesn't the silent cop I think is a is a real hottie he's like a real kind of blonde kind of built dude he is cute you're right anyway silent cop to me is the hottest guy in the movie I don't know if people have a different opinion. I'm going Norman Bates on this one. Oh, you like a Bates. He's my hug. Well, can I talk about his shoulders are just so broad. He's tall.
Starting point is 00:37:35 He's tall and his posture. I don't know. The way he carries himself is like elegant and sexy and manly all at the same time. I love how he's dressed too in this. Okay. The purple t-shirt that he is wearing when he's paying, I love how he got more paint on that shirt than he did on the side of the fucking motel.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I was like, oh man, you just fucked up that cool shirt. And, but I love that purple t-shirt. The clothes in this movie, this movie are pretty cool. I like the wardrobe a lot.
Starting point is 00:38:07 But yeah, I just think he's so handsome. I mean, I think that he's a movie star for a reason. And his acting in this movie wasn't one of them. Yes, the acting is very weird. He's in a different movie. I mean, people say that a lot. It's true. He's in the 60s. Yeah,, people say that a lot. It's true. But he's in the 60s.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Yeah. I wanted to tell you about this, though. You mentioned Long Legs at the top of the intro. I went to go see Long Legs at the Vista Theater. And Anthony Perkins' son is who wrote and directed Long Legs. I loved it, by the way. Can I have a joke about that? Yeah. Well, I...
Starting point is 00:38:44 Can I make the joke before you sure go for it go for it i've heard of a nepo baby but a psycho baby very good worth it worth derailing i love it but yeah so at the vista theater um they allow the filmmaker to pick three or four movie trailers of like to play at the top instead of like watching a new well there was one new movie trailer but so he he Oz Perkins played coal miner's daughter movie trailer repo man love that and then psycho three and I was like oh cool and I looked it up and Anthony Perkins was nominated for some acting awards for Psycho 3 so I think also directed it he directed the third one that's so cool so it's like this movie I think
Starting point is 00:39:33 he was dealing with probably a okay script and not much to do so yeah this wasn't his um big comeback as Norman Bates I think the third one is supposed to be the good one. Not quite set up for success, but yeah, I think I definitely, yeah, I'm such a huge fan of the original, so I think I will probably either myself or maybe I'll force us to do it on this show, but I want to go back and watch all the Psycho movies. Yeah, well, number three is the only one
Starting point is 00:40:00 that's not free with ads on YouTube, and I think it's because it's good. That's a good one. Yeah. Who knows? It was kind of wild seeing that there's like four of those suckers. I know. Four psycho movies.
Starting point is 00:40:11 There's Psycho 4 The Beginning, which might be a prequel. Anyway, I'm kind of all in on these. Anyway, so kind of Norman starts kind of feeling like mother's coming back. There's like a bloody shirt in the toilet. It kind of clogs the toilet. All this blood comes up.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Mary comes in. She's like constantly convincing him that like he's fine. Mother's not back. There's the scene of her kind of like cradling him in the bedroom. New mommy. There's a new mommy. Also, she's not scared of like, it was so much blood coming out of that toilet.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Like it was crazy. And she's like, it's fine. And then she's like mopping it up with that rag that was the bloody part. And like all that, which also, by the way, don't flush tampons. It's bad for the, it's bad for sewers. Like it's bad for the it's bad for sewers like it's bad for
Starting point is 00:41:06 yeah bad for septic tanks I'll tell you what yeah I learned that recently you don't want to do that what is that the
Starting point is 00:41:13 the clod that all the like wipeys and everything clusters into and it fucks up the
Starting point is 00:41:21 the cities all of a sudden you're getting you know poo poo pee pee water all on your lawn and it's terrible they say the cities all of a sudden you're getting you know poopoo peepee water all on your lawn and it's terrible they say those wipes are flushable they're not they're not they're really wipes don't use them i mean they make you feel fresh but ain't flushable um so to to prove to norman bates that his mom isn't back if the police dig up her corpse and show it to him what the fuck is going on
Starting point is 00:41:45 would that ever happen under any circumstances would the police just go out to the graveyard with you and dig up your mom it doesn't even prove anything yeah it's a skeleton it's not like he recognizes the skeleton well hang on he taxidermied his mother and she was practically a skeleton in the first movie and he like sure he sees it in her in the casket and he immediately turns away like he's shocked and i was like bitch you were hugging and kissing on this one like like it she looks the same what do you look at your handiwork you did that like i don't know what you're scared of right this situation. I love the idea that he's like, listen, this is definitely my mom's skeleton. I know.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I've kissed that mouth. I know mommy's bones. A boy knows his mommy's bones. Oh God, mother. But also all of the police, especially I guess he's the sheriff, are so kind to him. They like, I don't know why like it's like everyone
Starting point is 00:42:48 in the town is just like he's back let's be nice to him and i'm like local kook well that is more than a beloved local kook that's yeah i live in this town they're like sure you know yeah he did uh knife murder some women yeah and it's everyone deserves a second chance yeah exactly christian thing to do yeah it was it's kind of bizarre has not knife murdered a few women after peeping on them in the shower and jacking off and killing them after our ghost their mommy and worn her clothes happened to He who was without sin cast the first stone. Exactly. So, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:30 So we kind of like get into one of the twists here. So Marion Crane's sister, who we see in the opening, trying to like petition to get him back in the jail. This is Mary's mom. And they are like working together to drive him crazy. So I think the idea is that all of the Norman Bates killing you've seen has been Marion's sister in the like mother costume. She's in. We see her in the basement and she's digging it up and she takes out the wig and the actor is wearing a similar wig. I think this is easy. easy worst hat in the movie.
Starting point is 00:44:07 The worst hat. But it's this thing of like, your hair kind of looks like that hair already. Why do you need the wig? But anyway, it's a weird little moment. But as she's digging up the stuff, someone comes in and kills her and she gets a knife in the mouth.
Starting point is 00:44:24 It's so shocking. It's a great, some great practical gore. And yeah, just a like, this ain't your mommy psycho. There's a few moments of like great practical effects in this movie that I was like impressed with, especially considering that I assume the original wasn't about like
Starting point is 00:44:45 full knife penetration sure you know what i mean it was you didn't see it yeah it was the suggestion of it and this one i was kind of impressed especially at the end uh which we'll get to at the end but like there's uh there's one moment that i thought was like wow how'd they do that i also love that the the mom costume is just the basic halloween town like spirit halloween granny yeah granny outfit it's like the granny from green acres like it's just that lady it is it's so it's so it's so basic um so she gets she gets it in the mouth robert loja comes by mary is doing this thing to norman where she's dressed up like the mom and god it's so good of course you're gonna drive this guy fucking crazy yes kind of on norman's side now she's trying and i think it's implied that
Starting point is 00:45:37 she's the one who killed her mom and she's trying to like talk him down but while wearing the mother outfit makes no sense uh robert loja comes in she she accidentally stabs him she accidentally like knifes him and the knife is stuck in him and he falls down the stairs and hits a rail and it drives the knife further in oh my god and then falls off the railing to the floor. It's great. Oh, my God. It was so horrible that I was dying laughing because it was just so fucked. It is.
Starting point is 00:46:11 It is super shocking. And low-key unnecessary because the knife was already in him. It was just like, just so you know, this knife super killed him. We're going to bang it in on the way down. Yeah, yeah. We're going to make it go super in.
Starting point is 00:46:26 We're showing full penetration so norman kind of like approaches her and she's just like whacking at him with the knife as he's kind of advancing on her the police come in and see this they shoot mary mary dies and then it's all pinned on her so we like so you know everyone loves Norman again, for some reason they like let him back out. And that's when we get twist number two or three or whatever. We're going to tell you the nonsensical twist to psycho two right after this. we're back it's free with ads we're talking about psycho two all right norman bates he's out of jail, and we learn some information. Okay, at some point in this movie,
Starting point is 00:47:31 45 minutes in or whatever, Norman says something along the lines of, maybe my mother wasn't my real mother. They don't really go into it. He just kind of says it. Here's what happened. The woman at the diner who hired him randomly comes over while he's making a sandwich he makes 10 000 fucking sandwiches and they all look fucking gross they all look bad there's only one piece of meat on
Starting point is 00:47:55 white bread that's his sandwich um and the woman from the diner like confesses everything she's like i'm your real mother i had you too young and i gave you to my sister who you thought was your mother and she was she and like they always said our family was crazy yeah there's this little implication that she's also a psycho she went to she was institutionalized and so he he like starts to make her a sandwich or food or whatever he gets a shovel he bashes her head in takes her upstairs puts her in the mother chair and kind of comes back out and turns on the baits motel. It makes no sense and it fucking rules. It does rule. I was like, yes!
Starting point is 00:48:49 It's so good. They're back. I think that ending is probably, was my favorite thing in the movie. Yeah. Just because of the fact that like, they're setting you up for this twist because you find out like,
Starting point is 00:49:01 oh, so this was the person who was looking through the peephole at one one point like it had to be her right because who else was staring at um uh mary mary through the peephole that one time oh you might be right maybe it was her the real mom right because it wouldn't be mary's mom That would be, she would probably recognize her own mom, right? I guess, I don't know. So I assume that she was also doing some psycho shit. So you think they're about to team up for Psycho 3. And they are, but not in the way that Psycho Mother planned.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Because he immediately murders her and goes, Listen, I definitely need you to give me orders to kill people, but you got to be a skeleton while you're doing it. You got to be a skeleton. Sorry, that's my thing. Well, I mean, that's the thing. Like if you, he didn't kill anybody else because that didn't fit his MO.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Like the killing the mother is, that is who he kills. He kills, well, and then he kills whoever his mother wants him to kill. But he, you know, I think that I was kind of there were a couple things I was predicting while I was watching this. Sure. I thought maybe Mary was going to become the next psycho. I thought he was going to kill her, put her in mommy's clothing. She was already in mommy's clothing at one point. And I was like, oh, she's dead. She's going to go be in the rocking chair soon.
Starting point is 00:50:25 And it wasn't that. I then thought maybe the psychiatrist was the one wearing mommy's outfit. Because at the beginning when they said, oh, the teens, when that one teen was killed, she said it was a very large woman. That's right. And that little lady was not large. And so I thought, oh, well, it's probably the psychiatrist. He's probably dressing up.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And, you know, it seemed like it was going to be one of those things where it's like, oh, the twist character is just the most famous person in the movie, right? And I'm like, oh, well, you know, this guy's a little too well-known. Maybe he wasn't at this point. I don't know. But, like, he's the famous guy in the movie. So, like, obviously they're going to be giving him something juicy to do.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Yeah, yeah. No, he just gets stabbed and hits a rail on the way down. Wow. It was that was pretty badass. But yeah, it was just the the lady from the diner was like, fuck off. Like, I just went, OK, like, yeah, here's the thing. If they just would have mentioned this at the top of the movie, had somebody in court say you know and we're doing dna tests that the you know the woman he killed might not have even been his real mother
Starting point is 00:51:30 ah then but it happened so late and you're like what the fuck it's it's just so wild and it seems like it's so out of nowhere and the reason he has that thought of like oh it must be that my mother isn't my real mother because it's because he's having a psychotic episode in which he thinks he is talking to his mother and then they show his mother's body his his mother's corpse is still in the grave and he goes like you know like maybe a a person going through a manic episode would think he goes oh well then the person i'm talking to must be my real mom yeah you know as opposed to being like your your mom is you know maybe not talking to you he just assumes well the voice that i'm talking to on the phone isn't lying to me it's just so it's so
Starting point is 00:52:17 backwards and strange that like this total insane thought he had about well it's gotta be my real mom ended up being an actual twist it makes no yeah it makes no sense and well the other thing I think could have fixed it was you know the old lady worked at the diner and he pretty much had this huge meltdown at the diner wouldn't it have been great for her to like comfort him or something and I said you're a sweet boy I know you're having a hard time if you ever need anything need anything, I live right here. I live right here near where you live. Don't look up my last name.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Yeah. Well, it's like I live right by, and if you need anything, I can come over, no problem. Like if they had just put a little bit of. Seated it a little. You're right. You're right. It would have been kind of easy.
Starting point is 00:53:01 It was so random. It would have been kind of easy. It was so random. But the hit with the shovel is the piece of practical effect that impressed me the most. It's fucking brutal. It looks like she actually got hit with a shovel because she gets poisoned actually right at that moment as well. The tea. The tea.
Starting point is 00:53:26 She drinks the tea and then for one second she looks like she's about to pass out. And then for good measure, he bangs her on the top of the head with the shovel. But that hit looked real. I was like, that impressed me the most. That was the most impressive hit I've ever seen in a movie. The worst hit, or the best hit. The best hit. Yeah, the best hit with the shovel. And I best hit. Yeah, the best hit. And it's kind of this, you know, and I think there's like a lot of like,
Starting point is 00:53:47 you know, replicated shots. You see them from overhead. There's a lot of kind of overhead killing in the first one. Yeah, so there's some like neat filmmaking stuff in this movie. Yeah. Yeah, before we get into the best lines,
Starting point is 00:54:00 Emily, did we miss anything? Anything else you want to cover before we hit best lines? I would like to talk about Mother's Bedroom. Oh, yes, please. Bedroom check-in. So there was kind of, you know, when Mary and her mother are fucking with Norman Bates,
Starting point is 00:54:15 there's a thing where I guess Mary was able to fully set up his mother's, undo all the covered furniture and set up the bedroom and then recover the furniture and put it all away again to fuck with him and i love this bedroom i love the bed i love the bed frame and the vanity and all the little like brushes and everything and then there was this nice wardrobe that when you open it up it just looks like three austin powers costumes in there it doesn't it's like but really it's just three nightgowns because i guess the mother just wore nightgowns that went up to her neck and that was it but i just i loved it do not get horny baby never get horny baby the the peephole is in mother's room that goes into the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:55:08 But I'll be honest, I was kind of confused as to where the bathroom was sometimes. I'm like, where is it? It's on the other side. But it's like when you're looking at the stairway in the hallway, it's like, this don't make sense. Like where the bathroom is. But I say just don't worry about that just that's just don't worry about it yeah that's what i said too but yeah don't worry about it but yeah i loved the bedroom it's probably one of the top bedrooms i've seen in
Starting point is 00:55:36 any of the movies oh my gosh it's not the it takes two bedroom it takes two bedroom is the best bedroom well hey let's talk about the best lines in the movie. Mine is, we hear a little audio moment that is kind of in Norman's head of what happened when he poisoned her as a boy. Norman. Oh, shit. Sorry. Video is unavailable. I have to go back to it.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Oh, no. Video is private. What the fuck? Wait wait it just got taken we just passed over to the end of the month it literally just got taken down this is crazy so this is usually the part in the podcast where we talk about the best lines. I think we have to skip it this week, and here's why. Okay. We're taping this on July 31st. We're having a hard time with this podcast with the rhyme or reason about when the movies go up on certain services and when they get taken down.
Starting point is 00:56:48 It's a little random maybe you've noticed that you know because we tape this in advance sometimes the movies we're talking about are on one service or not the other or they're somewhere else so they're hard to find because we're taping this on the 31st i think a lot of these get taken down at the end of the month as matt was trying to play the clips the video went to private i think we just experienced a movie getting taken down off youtube in real time yes we did we did and they took down psycho the first one also and did they take down psycho four let's see oh i hope they put psycho three back on yeah maybe that'd be kind of cool um i don't see psycho four at the moment this is wild um it's just never happened in real time before i've never seen it go from free to not free you can actually watch it uh you can either buy it or rent it right now oh yeah you can buy it or rent it but like off off of YouTube. Yes, off of YouTube.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Guess what? We're not doing that. We're not. Okay. We're just not going to say what our favorite lines are because we are dedicated to never paying. That's a fun workaround. Yeah, I'll try to remember the line too. So mine is, it's a little bit of audio from like inside Norman's head.
Starting point is 00:58:03 He's like hearing his mother as he's like killing her as a boy. And she's like, Norman, this is the same actor, by the way, that plays her voice in the original, kind of a cool little callback. Norman,
Starting point is 00:58:14 you've poisoned my tea. You know what happens to little boys who poison their mothers? Like it's a common thing. But like what does happen to them i don't know it's not they go on to play with the skeleton for a while and then go to jail yeah there doesn't seem to be a lot of precedent for it so no i don't know what happens fucking crazy uh emily do you kind of remember yours yes I do so um you know Norman stands up for Mary in the diner because of his skis bag um you know the guy who was running his motel when he was locked up and
Starting point is 00:58:55 that guy goes in the diner as being creepy to Mary so she comes back to the house and tells Norman well I thought you were wonderful today. I would have killed that guy. And he goes, I don't kill people anymore, remember? And Mary goes, ha ha. She just nervously goes, ha ha. Yeah, anyway, funny. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:59:21 You remember that very important detail about me? Yeah. I don't do that anymore. I don't do that anymore. I don't do that anymore. Wink, wink. It's in my Tinder profile. Now I just help cook cigarette sandwiches. A dry bologna sandwich on old white bread. Norman Bates on Tinder.
Starting point is 00:59:38 It's just him at Machu Picchu. Under it, it just says, I don't kill people anymore. Yeah. My favorite thing is like like so he has very basic groceries but when he first comes into the house he's got like two bags of stuff that just looks like cereal it's like two bags full of boxes of cereal i noticed this i was trying to see what cereal was in his his bag when he was coming in the only word i could make out on the box was news was there a news themed cereal in the 80s like little marshmallow microphones i don't know i'm looking it up okay we're gonna we're gonna
Starting point is 01:00:16 look into news cereal we're gonna take a break and then we're gonna come back and rank psycho 2 Psycho 2. We're back. It's Free With Ads. We're we're gonna rank psycho 2 a movie which may or may not be streaming free with ads somewhere on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials oh boy my commercials were loud on this one um yes they really were why don't why don't we go Matt, Emily, me? Because I think I'm going to go high on this one. Okay. You know, I'm actually going pretty high too because I've not seen Psycho 1 and because I was introduced to Meg Tilly, who I think is one of the most beautiful actresses I've seen.
Starting point is 01:01:18 So I'm going to give this a six. Not bad. Okay. Truly. Truly not bad. Okay. Do you think that... Does meg tilly kind of remind you of francesca a little bit is that kind of maybe i it's not even that it's just that i just uh you
Starting point is 01:01:34 know occasionally you get introduced to a old you know hollywood star from the past and you're just like wow how come i've never seen this beautiful person before yeah she is stunning i but you're right no it is because i i love my wife that's why big wife guy over here um i'm gonna give this movie a five that's fair just because i thought it moved so fucking slow it like it took a while but then when it ramped up like it it i mean the kills were pretty shocking which i i liked how shocking the kills were um i think i i could have gone to a six if that twist ending were a better twist, if it were twistier, you know? But overall, I would recommend seeing it if you can find it free with ads somewhere.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Yeah, I think I'm going to go a seven. I agree this movie has like, it has a lot of stuff wrong with it and it's kind of a mess in some ways. But I just like, as someone who loves the original i was just so like fascinated by this i was like it's so crazy how they tried to make it for the 80s but they kept all these weird classic things about it so just like kind of cool and yeah and i love all that practical gore the shocking stuff is funny there's some like great camp humor in this
Starting point is 01:03:00 so yeah i wouldn't like recommend this if you're just like what horror movie should i boot up on a friday night because i'm getting pizza but like if you're a fan of the original and just like there's a lot to chew on here i think so yeah i think as far as just a like interesting film that exists um for me it's a seven uh but yeah you know just just be prepared for it to be uneven quality-wise. Oh, yeah. Uneven is a great way of putting it. Well, hey, let's do some plug-a-rooskies. What do you guys got going on? Anything?
Starting point is 01:03:34 Well, I mean, I'm going to, of course, say Good Mythical Weekend is about to get pretty insane for me. For me in particular. There's a very insane episode that i can't believe we did and i don't know when it's going to come out but i'm so afraid that everyone's going to hate me here's why yes here's here's the reason why i want you guys to know whoever's listening to who does watch Good Mythical Weekend. I love dogs a lot. I love most dogs, almost every dog. But there is one dog I did not like, and you're going to see it,
Starting point is 01:04:18 and I don't know if you're going to like me after this. Also, I think anime is great. I think it's cool. I have no idea. I love hearing this out of context. I think anime is really cool, but am I a real diehard fan that could commit myself romantically to someone who that's a big part of their life?
Starting point is 01:04:44 I don't know. I don't know if i could do that so those are the two things i'm gonna tell you guys um keep that in mind when you watch this particular episode eventually and i i just can't believe we made this i think it's such a good episode it's the craziest thing i've ever done on good mythical morning i'll say that which is saying a lot it really is i've fallen through a fucking wall with my tits. That's right. Yes, you have.
