Inside Psycho review

This is the best podcast I’ve listened to. So much wonderful information on Alfred Hitchcock and how this movie came to be. Also on the actors and the different personalities. Ireally loved it.

Chilling, Thrilling, and oh so Fulfilling

As a huge fan of Hitchcock, PSYCHO is a film that’s taken a while to truly grow on me. It’s only been within the past few years that the classic thriller has felt like what I always hoped it felt like. I needed to grow with it, reflect on it. Grasp how much it truly changed the industry. After reading about the film, watching documentaries on it, I was happy to discover that there was a limited series going in-depth on the history, production, and reception of Hitchcock’s work of genius. Mark Ramsey’s voice is ideal for the chilling and well-researched narrative he weaves over the course of a few hours. Never being one to go too far into serial killer narratives, the first episode on Ed Gein was particularly disturbing. And I mean that as a compliment. I loved every bit of the show and I can’t wait to listen to the other INSIDE looks that Ramsey has done for Wondery.

A Must For Hitchcock Fans!!

I enjoyed this podcast immensely!! I’ve always been fascinated by Hitchcock, and Psycho is my favorite production of his. I loved the history and little trivia about the film. Can’t wait for another season into another classic? Or maybe another Hitchcock film? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

So so good!

This was a very entertaining podcast from the 3 min trailer to the finish of Ep 6. Any fan of Hitchcock and/or true crime will appreciate this podcast. Oh, and the narrator sounds like a bit of a psycho himself (and that’s a compliment to him AND a complement to the story).

Background music is unnecessary and far too loud

I listen to podcasts while at work so I have to wear headphones. I'm only on the first episode but the audio is inconsistent and the background music is far too loud, often coming close to drowning out the narration. If the subsequent episodes are like this, I won't be finishing the series. And the parody of "The Night Before Christmas" poem twisted to describe murder(s) committed by Ed Gein is awful. This could have been a really good podcast but it's over-dramatic and stuffed with conjecture that is unrelated to the topic.

Terrible

By way of qualification, I love podcasts and audiobooks, in particular Wondery-produced podcasts. Moreover I drive often (and far) so I’m always looking for new content. That being said, this is why you should mos def avoid those one. First, it’s just not particularly interesting with the exception of the first episode. That was good and macabre and compelling. But the real reason you should pass is because the narrator, who I think is also the writer and producer (show runner?) reads in the most affected and annoying way. He pauses between words constantly for emphasis but, like any other technique, he over does it to the point where my wife and I were annoyed beyond measure. For awhile we even talked to each other like him. Me: Do you need...to...pee? Her: I think I’m...ok. It’s ridiculous. On the other hand, there were times when he’s simply reading bumpers or promos and he’s soooo much better. I wish he starts reading like that as he continues his career.

Great story, weird narration

Loved the story and information in the podcast. But the narrator told it in a very weird way that was distracting. The stories are weird enough without needing to act like the podcast is taking place in a haunted house.

The. Pauses. Are. Too. Much.

The actual content of this podcast is okay. I wouldn’t really say it’s a deep dive of Psycho tho. The thing that is most bothersome is the pauses the narrators makes for dramatic effect. Any bit of dramatization has been absolutely lost because they feel the need to dramatically pause before the ending of almost every single sentence. It’s so bad and frustrating to hear that it compelled me to write my first podcast review in over four years of listening. Also, the couple spots where the story takes us through dream sequences, why?? This isn’t a work of fiction, and even if these dreams are documented it is a colossal waste of time. Every episode I’m left disappointed that the interesting parts of the episode weren’t what I was left remembering.

Not so great

Classic movie, and the narrator clearly has a passion for it, but he doesn’t let the great story tell itself, he has to add spooky music, spooky re-enactments, pointless spooky....pauses, and so on. Too much. He does sound exactly like Jeff Daniels, however.

Decent story but SO dramatic

A lot of good content and an interesting story but all the suspenseful music in the background and dramatic pausing made it unbearable to keep listening after episode 3. “You could hear a pin.......*suspenseful sound effect*.....*long pause*.......drop.” Get on with it! A real bummer because the podcast could have been so much more enjoyable without the theatrics.

These podcasts are great! It’s a great dive into a classic movie that follows an interesting timeline of pop culture history and incorporates many biographical elements. I hope there are more of these to come! I also love the theme music.

podsavemysoul

July 24, 2019

Hitchcock would be ashamed....

Oh, honey, your writing is not interesting enough to warrant the hundreds of thousands of dramatic pauses. You’re talking about the master of suspense himself, couldn’t you have studied up a bit? The music would better suit a podcast about American Horror Story or the Human Centipede, cheap thrills... but not the greatest horror movie of all time. Sigh, white boys.... will you ever get sick of the sound of your own voices? Because I am.

People Like Us: Inside Philadelphia

i just listened to both episodes, thinking they would be much like the Inside Jaws and Inside Psycho podcasts. Now, drowning in my own tears, sitting next to a pile of used tissues, i see i was wrong. The other 2 were immensely entertaining and informative. This was emotionally captivating and exhausting, much like the movie itself. The smaller stories within the main story are uplifting. Beautifully told and narrated.

Someone should make this into a film. This podcast is not only a journey into the making of one of the greatest films of all time, it’s also a beautifully woven tale into the masterful mind of Hitchcock. I was only sorry there weren’t more episodes. 10+

Checking into the Bates Motel...

Another absolute stellar production by Wondery. As a long time film buff, this gives you a lot of great history mixed with a fun, roller coaster of a ride. The story is gripping, the audio and sound effects are a great addition (especially when it could just as easily have been a distraction). If you're looking for a great halloween series, be sure to check this podcast out!

I heard about Inside Psycho and Inside Exorcist through the Shock Waves podcast. I love the format, content, and delivery. I was lucky enough to binge Inside Psycho and Inside Exorcist.

Close to perfection

This podcast series has everything a true crime/horror movie buff like me could want. There is an episode dedicated to Ed Gein. Then the series gets into the making of Psycho, both the book and the film. I was delighted by the anticdotes about Hitchcock and Anthony Perkins, and the podcast even talks about the influence of Saul Bass and Bernard Hermann in the making of the film too (I am so glad Bass and Hermann's contributions were not ommitted). My only complaints are the little tacked-on faux ending that seemed unnecessary and out of left field. Also, as others mentioned, the sound effects are a little corny. Just stick to telling a good stories, and if possible, integrate some of the source material (via sound clips, interviews, etc) into the production instead. All that being said, I can't wait to dip into Inside Jaws and Inside The Exorcist. Thank you to all who are involved in this production!

Just fantastic.

I first saw Psycho at far too tender an age, watching round the stairwell corner when my folks thought I was asleep, at the advent of home video rental. Obviously my parents have great taste, to have hunted down Psycho in the pre-chain-rental-store days of yore. I was similarly introduced to John Waters films (Multiple Maniacs was my first) around that same corner wall, quiet as a mouse... though I now know mice are really quite loud, & they knew I was there & just trusted me not to mention any of it to Grandma. Psycho altered me. It jumped in to my consciousness sometime around kindergarten... Precocious developing mind, already far too worldly for anyone's good... But Psycho shook me. It changed everything. Mother still lives behind my eyes, waiting for the right moment in the dark to turn around and reduce me to a sobbing 4 year old. But Norman stole my heart. This sweet, awkward man-boy munching candy with those big expressive hands, he grabbed me by the nurture-and-protect instinct & has held on ever since. At the same moment I both feared Mother more deeply than anything I'd ever encountered, even in the midst of the early 80s slasher-fest, AND I became Mother. I had this enormous shift in consciousness, as a little girl, where I, in an instant -- exactly as long as it takes a less-pretty sister to turn around an old rocking chair -- learned to absorb & cherish my monsters. That's gotten me through my life. Miscarriages, being widowed young, losing home after home, all the terrifying things that happen in a life, I had a measure of control over the fear these caused thanks to Mother and Norman. I have the scariest things inside me, & because I've loved them & cared for them, they'll help me when I need strength. Psycho was enormously formative to my entire psyche, & I greedily eat up anything and everything about it. This is such a fabulous little podcast. The ambiance is perfectly tuned, the storytelling is both accurate & evocative. The personalities of the players are all beautifully realized, right through to poor old Eddie Gein, without becoming the caricatures they've all been reduced to in popular media recently. That's the most important part for me. Hitch has been getting a character beating lately, without being around to defend himself, & it's frustrating. He wasn't JUST a genius, JUST a driving taskmaster, JUST a glutton, etc. This particular slice of his time in Hollywood doesn't reduce anyone, even when they're only briefly mentioned. So well done & a truly delightful experience.

Starts Out Great Then….

I am a huge film buff and a huge Robert Bloch fan (as well as a Hitchcock junkie) so I was jazzed to listen to this series. It starts out great - the use of sound effects is very effective in the Ed Gein first episode but sadly I found as the series went along it just got weaker and weaker. Now maybe he could not get clearance on these - but why couldn’t they play the REAL ads and commercials for PSYCHO that Hitch made? Couldn’t they get the actual audio from the 33rd Academy Awards or his AFI Tribute? To just have the Narrator do ALL the voices became rather tiresome and I could not believe he did the “fake dream” trope not once but TWICE! And for all real Hitchcock fans, we know he never won an Oscar so I found the long drawn out “dream” sequence he was announced as Best Director just ineffective and hokey. There is some fascinating info in this podcast series but overall I found it rather lacking.

Perfect Podcast!

I just binged this over the last few days. I didn't intend to binge, but it was impossible for me to put it down! I found myself driving around a little bit extra, and taking the long way home from work just so I could listen a little bit extra. This podcast is extremely well done. If you happen to be a movie buff like me, there's not a whole lot of new info on the making of Psycho that I didn't already know. But it's all presented in such a thoughtful and haunting way that it still had me on the edge of my seat, hungry for the next episode.The beauty of it is you don't have to be a movie buff to enjoy this however. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. It's part true crime, part old time radio drama, part personal experience, with a sprinkling of old Hollywood tabloid, all told like a ghost story around a camp fire. The episodes are the perfect length as well. A perfect podcast!

Wasted potential

The making of Psycho has so much potential to make an interesting podcast. However, this podcast decided to change the story from factual to a dramatized version of events. You can't tell what is fact and what has been fictionalized for dramatic purposes. Instead of acting out events, just tell the actual story of what happened.

Well done, a little overly dramatic.

There's a lot of good stuff here for fans of the movie and/or of Hitchcock himself. It's hindered a little bit by the desire to make things too dramatic at times (way too much loud incidental music, long sequences describing Hitchcock's nightmares filled with purple prose). There's still enough good here to make it worthwhile (especially the final episode focusing on Hitch's post-Psycho career), so grab it if you're a fan.

Awful.

Just about every review here sounds like it was written by a family member of the narrator. This podcast is impossibly poorly written and read. Beyond cheesy. I had hoped for so much better. Just ick...

Creaky in a bad way

I listened to the first episode and was not favorably impressed with the narration or the sound effects. I also had an issue with the sound editing. Seemed to have a pregnant pause before every sound effect. A very lackluster product. The story does not need bells and whistles.

Mother Would Be Pleased

When a podcast series is this well researched and produced it is easy to give it a 5-star rating, but calling it a masterpiece could be taking it too far... This podcast *is* a masterpiece though... "Inside Psycho" is a Must-Listen for any fan of Hitchcock, Psycho, or the thriller genre. Wondery takes us from the very beginning, young Ed Gein becoming the serial killer, to the very end, Hitchcock's death. The respect and sympathy shown toward Hitchcock throughout this series is never condescending or insincere. As a fan, I appreciate that. I also appreciate the rather in depth research accomplished here. I've always known Hitchcock's "Psycho" had a wide reaching influence on thrillers and horror films since its premiere, but was still surprised by certain modern day nods — and now I need to rewatch a few films to catch them! Perfect for binge listening or showing some "Norman Bates biding his time"-type serial self restraint, Wondery's "Inside Psycho" is a touching — and sometimes disturbing — love letter to Alfred Hitchcock and his ever enduring film. Bravo!

Fascinating and Entertaining

This is a truly wonderful podcast. Recommended for any fan of film, horror, or generally good storytelling. The first episode will definitely appeal to true crime fans (and is truly horrific), but the other episodes focus on the story behind one of the greatest horror movies of all time. I would love to hear the team tackle another classic horror movie. Possibly The Exorcist? Great stuff, love it.

Learned something new

Even though I was familiar with the story somewhat, there were still things to learn. Great production values, and the host had the perfect voice.

If you are a movie lover, and even have a small interest in the movie, this will teach you something you don't know. The host is GREAT at constructing the narrative and the story is fascinating. Just wish there was more!

Fantastic

I love podcasts but have never written a review before. This is by far, one of the best I've heard! I highly recommend it, even if you aren't a fan of Hitchcock or Psycho (though this podcast might make you a fan of both!)

Such fun

This is so much fun to listen to. The backstory of Psycho, how Hitchcock leveraged his career to make it, how studios and critics predicted its failure. And the production makes it--soundscape that would make Hitchcock proud.

April 23, 2017

A good listen

This was an interesting inside look at the making of psycho, though the description was a little misleading. It made it sound like a bunch of mysterious, unexplainable phenomena happened on set, but it was mostly just Hitchcock's insecurities about making the movie and the obstacles he had to overcome in making it. Still an enjoyable listen, but not quite what I expected.

Top Notch

We have been running the podcast Earbud Theater for the past four years. After diving into HUNDREDS of different podcasts, we can honestly say that Inside Psycho is one of the best, most unique projects we've ever heard. If you're a film buff, you're going to appreciate the deep dive. If you're a fan of Audio Drama, you are going to appreciate the immersive soundscape. This gets five stars across the board for storytelling, craft, and pure entertainment.

Fantastic Atmosphere!

Loved listening to this podcast. Not only is the narrator great to listen to but they throw in sound affects and a little radio play that takes it a step above. I'm very eager to see what else they have made.

Tokimo

April 21, 2017

well researched but...

Certainly worth listening to, but there's not much new here for true fans of the classic film. The author/reader doesn't do himself any favours by reading it himself - he is not a performer and his flat delivery doesn't help his efforts. In the last one, he states that Ed Gine was the inspiration for Hannible in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, when in fact he was the inspriation for the killer, "Buffalo Bill".

Gripping and Well Made

The beauty of the series is that while everyone knows of the movie, probably very few know the story behind the production. I especially enjoyed the pace and production of the story telling. Thank you for not doing "Hitch" with an English accent.

Soylent Jon

April 20, 2017

Thank you, Mother.

A loving tribute to a landmark of cinema history and it's auteur, the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Aficionados of Hitch's oeuvre will enjoy this podcast. It would be great if the producers of this podcast would also do the same for Vertigo, Rear Window, North by Northwest and Hitch's other masterpieces. Kudos to Mark Ramsey et al!

Great history on the classic!

Growing up watching Universal horror films and always being fascinated by the facts behind the fiction, I was completely engulfed by the story behind Hitchcock, Ed Gein and Robert Bloch. Please do more stories on films like that! Very engaging work and in depth research.

The opening music track is amaze balls! I hope it gets bought up and used for new things. The content is alluring, new, and makes you sound way smarter when you tell everyone at dinner all the nuggets of trivia info you got from it. Really enjoyed it as it played out. Thanks!

WOW!

I've never watched Psycho, but love true crime. The moster that inspired Norman Bates, it the reason why I've never watched this Iconic film. This podcast leaves me wanting more, wanting to finally watch Psycho. What a story to how this movie came to be. I'm so glad I gave this one a try!

Suspenseful and Intense

I loved the storytelling and production quality of this series, which connected a lot of different angles of the filmmaking process, before, during, and after. Made me want to watch the movie again! It might have benefited from some additional voice talent as one actor seems to carry it on his own, and the ending was a bit weird, but I was LOVING this. Best surprise of a podcast in a long time. Good work.

Engrossing storytelling with perfect music and sound effects. It's enlightening and entertaining; the fiction plays on and enhances the fact, everything works together so beautifully. Those who know Psycho intimately will still find themselves a bit scared and nervous in this funhouse they thought they knew by heart.

Over-produced, Over-dramatic, and Awfully Narrated

I only listen to this because I want the information, but it is so sensationalized it's difficult to enjoy. The narrator is absolutely horrible. Not to mention the thirty minute run time is never short on advertising. I will listen to the entire series, but I can not wait for it to be over.

This is a must listen for any fan of the movie Psycho. The narrator overdramatizes on occasion, but generally it is very well done with a lot of interesting information on the serial killer that inspired Psycho and the history of the movies production.

Svyverma

April 7, 2017

Superb!

This "deep dive" into Hitchcock's most famous film is superb. The research, writing, music, SFX, and narration are all great. Please consider doing some deep dives into some of his other films, if the backstories are as interesting. I'm going to be sad when this one is done. Always leave them wanting more. I do want more. Thanks!

Gwendolyn138583275

April 4, 2017

Problematic

I echo the thoughts of others regarding the sound issues of this podcast, but I'd also like to state that in several instances, information is changed from what actually occurred to be more dramatic, which invalidates the entire thing; that's the reason I stopped listening after the first episode.

So this podcast was recommended to me via another podcast. One of my favorite movies is Psycho. Obviously I listened to the first episode immediately. I can't really describe his voice but it's perfect. The host has a manner of tone that lends itself well to the macabre. Anyway every episode is fascinating and holds your attention for its entirety.

This is so good. So good I wish there was more! Feels like these should be hour episodes (but maybe that's because the last one available at the time I'm writing this just ended and I literally screamed, no!). It's already three episodes in barely scratched the surface. And only three more to go. Blah. This is seriously great. Wonderfully produced, told in an experiential and captivating way.

CREEPY

As a lover of true crime podcasts, I was first a little hesitant to try another but this is incredible. Such captivating storytelling, super creepy and yes, the sound production is impressive. I also appreciate how they drop the overall volume during the ads. It helps to keep the story going without blasting us with loud ads! very well done!

Hollywood Biscuits

March 27, 2017

Almost there

This otherwise stellar podcast is marred by an unfortunate final sound mix that has the sponsored ads played at an uneven volume to the rest of the show. This sloppy oversight ruins what should be a five star rating.

Making the Film...Not Gore

Giving three stars today because the first episode took such a sensationalist approach to the Ed Gein background. I listen to true crime podcasts and Hollywood/movie podcasts, but the first episode trailed a bit too much into gruesome for the sake of gruesome. Hoping the episodes on the film itself will be more balanced. I have enjoyed "Hollywood and Crime" and their approach to the more gruesome aspects of the Balck Dahlia murders. Will review again after I hear more.

The first episode is THE most disturbing thing I have ever listened to. If the rest of the podcast is anywhere close to this, I won't be able to continue listening. This is too twisted for me, and for most people, I would assume.

More Radio Drama

If you're a fan of radio drama lots of extraneous sound effects and dramatic readings you'll like this one. The information and story are strong enough to stand alone without all the silly sound effects, hooting owls and chains dragging across the floor, etc. Jeff Schmidt reel it in buddy, reel it in!
