Back to the Bates Motel for the second half. John, Matt, and Westy continue the story of Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece, turning to the people who built the scares and the ending that rewrote the rules of horror.

We get into the crew behind the film — the screenplay, Bernard Herrmann's screeching score, and the visual craft — before breaking down the climax, the box office and critical reception, and the enormous influence Psycho had on cinema. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

If you've not heard Part 1 — the beginning, Hitchcock, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.
