Psycho (1960), Se7en (1995)

Guy Simons Jr. (of Anyway, That's All I Got fame) joins me for
the first time on Extra Milestone for a special Halloween episode
devoted to two of the greatest serial killer movies of all time!
Kicking off our conversation is Alfred Hitchcock's game-changing
masterpiece Psycho, including the unique and revolutionary
distribution of the film, the ways in which it insidiously sets
itself apart from every other movie, whether or not it should be
considered a 'slasher,' and more! After that, we jump forward to
David Fincher's haunting detective thriller Se7en, a movie which
one of us had somehow never seen until now! We also discuss the
film's somewhat troubled legacy, the ways in which it has
infiltrated the internet consciousness, and even some valuable
insight on whether or not it should be viewed as an optimistic
film!
