Psycho shower scene

One of my more famous ones is there's an episode of The Simpsons where Maggie inadvertently hits Homer in the head with a mallet.

And it's basically, again, the whole shower scene.

It's the music.

It's Homer falling to the ground, pulling the tarp because he was making a spice rack for Marge.

She does love her boyfriend, wants to be with him, but they're obviously both in debt, so she ends up stealing $40,000 from her own company to try to start something together.

She tries to flee to California to be with him, and then... through this chance meeting with Norman and, you know, because she's kind of, you know, before she says some of the wrong things, you know, Norman's, the mother personality takes over Norman and she ends up getting killed and you don't really, you do feel bad for her, but at the same time, you don't feel bad for her.

So, you know, I think she's just a very kind of, you know, weird character in that way and of course uh for those that may not know janet lay who plays varian is the mother of um of jamie lee curtis who of course would go on to play lori lori strode in halloween so the um so again the nice little um kind of tie-in there with the mother and daughter both becoming uh screen queens in essence so i thought that was kind of interesting um Favorite scene, I mean, it's got to be the shower scene.

It can't be anything else.

In the book, Carrie is fat.

And he talks about that quite a bit, right? And of course, in the shower scene, he's going to describe her body and the whole thing.

And it's always, you know, she looks very bovine.

She looks like a pig.

And I think if that sequence didn't have music, I'd much rather see that sequence without score.

Bring the score in then at the bit where things start to go very bad for Carrie.

And that's, you know, in film class, when we watch Psycho, our professor did that, just that we watched the shower scene with no score and you watch it silent and you're like, it's a totally different thing.

And it's same thing here.

All right, so we have-- This is our first time actually watching it.

We've seen the shower scene a trillion times, and maybe bits and pieces, uh, otherwise.

But [swallows] one of the most famous movies of all time, probably the most famous classic director of all time.

Like, when you start talking about classic films, whatever, Lawrence of Arabia and Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, Psycho, North by Northwest.

[laughs]

... and we realized we were just past the shower scene.

[laughs]

So we gotta make this quick.

Yeah

... about Psycho, you probably do.

I mean, the, the strings, the shower scene.

Like, yeah.
