First American Film with a Set Start Time in Movie Theaters (1960)

Episode Summary

Before 1960, movies just played on loops at the theater and people could buy a ticket and come and go as they pleased. Then, a film had so massive a twist that the director demanded theaters not let viewers wander in willy-nilly. We're discussing Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock's cinema-altering classic on this episode! Plus, a journey to the center of the MouthGarf Report, and I See What You Did There.
