So pour one out and sit a spell — ‘cause the 3 Guys are about to walk you straight through to sunrise.

Podcast 233: Goodnight Mommy

This week we unwrap the bandages on 2014's Goodnight Mommy. An Austrian psychological thriller with a cult following. SPOILER WARNING: Make sure to watch the movie before listening to this podcast so that the big twist isn't spoiled (currently free on Prime).

After returning home from facial surgery with her face heavily bandaged, a mother’s cold behavior unsettles her twin sons. As small clues and cruel tests mount, the boys become convinced the woman is an impostor.

Tension spirals into a brutal psychological descent of grief, hallucination, and violence, building to a shocking climax that forces the family’s tragic truth into view.

Podcast 232: Psycho

Oh, Norman… you’ve gone and done it again, haven’t you? You’ve brought them here… Those nosy boys from 3 Guys and a Flick. They just had to come poking around our little motel, whispering about Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.

They’ll gossip about Bernard Herrmann’s screeching violins, that ghastly shower scene, and my poor boy Norman — such a sweet, misunderstood child. They’ll tattle about spoilers, casting, cinematography, and all that slasher nonsense, as if they know what really happened in that house on the hill…

But listen closely, dears… if you dare. This Halloween kickoff episode will make you question what’s real, what’s madness, and who’s really sitting behind that curtain.

Join Don, Ken, and guest Gerard — before Mother finds out you’ve been listening.

From the wonder of that first Brachiosaurus reveal to the white-knuckle terror of the Raptor kitchen chase, the guys debate casting choices, and the behind-the-scenes magic.
