Alfred Hitchcock, Part 3: The Final Act — Psycho, The Birds, and the End of an Era
P

It didn't involve the supernatural, it wasn't a whodunit, and it certainly wasn't conventional.
P
8:35Patrick RankinHOST
Psycho centered on Norman Bates, an overweight, balding man in his 40s who ran a struggling roadside motel living under his domineering mother.
P
8:48Patrick RankinHOST
When a young woman named Mary Crane arrives one night, carrying $40,000 she's stolen from her employer's office, she becomes, unwittingly, caught up in the strange relationship between mother and son.
P
9:03Patrick RankinHOST
Before long, Mary is brutally murdered in her motel room shower.
P
9:09Patrick RankinHOST
But rather than bringing the story to a conclusion, her death sets off a chain of events that gradually exposes the truth about Norman Bates and his mother.
P

J
10:18Jordan HoffmanHOST
I think I even remember her saying, it's got to just be some random person because everything's so random.
J
10:48Jordan HoffmanHOST
And today, Psycho is the most benign.
J
10:51Jordan HoffmanHOST
And there are scarier things that you'll see if you go in your car and drive around any suburban neighborhood on the lawns of blow-up spooky dolls and skeletons and ghouls and goblins.
J
11:05Jordan HoffmanHOST
But it's the big reveal when they go down into the basement to see – Norman Bates' mother and kind of illogically just...

Robert Bloch kind of, I suppose in the same way that he wrote Norman Bates.
J
47:40John Paul GreenHOST
Yeah, I think what Robert Bloch was doing, he kind of just...
J
47:45John Paul GreenHOST
He drew very much on the mystique and the mythology of the Ripper in a way that Terror and London Bridge doesn't.

But based on the first few games and just the question marks surrounding this team, you kind of and with how the Pelicans and Clippers have played specifically, I think there's probably a closer grouping of these four teams with the Kings.
