Episode 204 - Psycho (1998)
Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb!! This is the podcast where we revisit some of the biggest box office failures in cinema history and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
‘Re-MAY-ke” month is upon us! That’s right! For the whole month of May, we are re-examining some of the biggest remake bombs in cinema history. We kick off the month with "Emcee" (Alex) and "Cupcake" (Jose) from Watch/Skip+ and discuss 1998’s remake of the Alferd Hitchcock classic - Psycho. Known as a shot-for-shot remake, the 1998 film brings all the color, violence, and maybe an orifice (just listen) to the updated version. The film failed to recoup its massive budget but, surprisingly, wasn’t hated by everyone. However, the most important questions is whether we considered it a bomb! For that, you need to listen!
Psycho (1998) is directed by Gus Van Sant and stars Vince Vaughn, Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortensen, William H. Macy, and Anne Heche
Make sure to check out Jose and Alex on Watch/Skip+ and drop them a review!
