Psycho was Hitchcock’s biggest gamble of his career… and the behind the scenes stories are even crazier than the shower scene. We tell the story of how Hitchcock bet his own money on this movie after the studio wanted nothing to do with it. We get into how he pranked Janet Leigh on set and why this movie stuck with her for the rest of her life. We break down the filmmaking tricks that made Hitchcock the master of suspense. And we give our honest reaction to a 1960 classic that one of us loves and the other… not so much.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has one of the worst behind the stories of all time… We break down how Tobe Hooper forced his cast to film in 115 degree Texas heat surrounded by real rotting cattle carcasses for weeks on end, told them not to bathe, and filmed the infamous dinner scene in one 26 hour session straight while cast members were vomiting between takes. We discuss how this movie claims to be based on a true story right in the opening title card… and how that is completely made up. And we give our honest reaction to a film that Quentin Tarantino calls perfect and we have some thoughts on that.

Predator is the movie made for the boys… and the behind the scenes stories are even more insane than the film itself. We tell the story of how Arnold secretly rigged the wardrobe measurements to make Jesse Ventura think his arms were bigger. We get into how Carl Weathers was sneaking to the gym at 4am before anyone else woke up just to get a pump and pretend he was naturally that jacked. And we talk about how Shane Black got tricked into flying to Mexico with the promise of an acting role just so the studio could trap him there and force him to rewrite the script — which they then threw out and never used anyway.

Pulp Fiction is the movie of movies… We break down how this movie revived John Travolta career from literal death because Tarantino couldn't get Michael Madsen, turned down Daniel Day-Lewis,  and finally banked everything on the washed up Travolta.
