This episode contains spoilers for the films Murder! and Psycho.
The "mama's boy" and "domineering mother" tropes reach a terrifying zenith in Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock's game-changing masterpiece from 1960. In this episode, we examine the gay iconography of actor Anthony Perkins, Hitchcock's surprising relationship with drag, and that time my childhood friends gifted me a homemade Hitchcock movie. Murder!, Hitchcock's British whodunnit from 1930, is also discussed.
