Arthouse Legends Podcast


Welcome to Arthouse Legends Podcast - Where High Art and Geek Culture Collide! The goal of this podcast is to take a look at critically acclaimed and well-received films and consider if these films truly deserve their revered status in the cultural zeitguest. Using our combined film knowledge, geeky obsessions and general fart jokes, we take a bite out of much-beloved films, sometimes in love, other times in scorn, but never out-of-bounds.

In 1960, famous filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock took a daring gamble with his career when he decided to adapt Robert Bloch's novel Psycho into one of the first auteur-helmed horror films. This gamble changed not only how the genre was perceived to be, but how movies were to be marketed forever. But does the story of a troubled young woman, an envelope full of cash, and an introverted motel owner worthy of the iconic status it has earned or should stay home with Mother? Eric, Kent & Lobster check in to find out.
