Filmme Fatales looks at some of the most spellbinding, dazzling, and campy female performances in film history! Each month, Chase and Jeff will take a semi-deep dive into one of their favourite female actresses of all time. They will dissect all of the sassy nuances, giving roses where they are due and discussing aspects they didn't love. Of course, they will get silly, stupid, and super gay as they discuss their lives in relation to the drama, glamour, and grandeur of cinema's leading ladies.

13. Scream Queens: Janet Leigh - Psycho (1960)

Welcome to a new month of Filmme Fatales podcast! This month, we are mixing it up in honour of spooky season with a bit of a different format. Instead of focusing on one actress for the entire month, we're looking at 4 iconic Scream Queens!

To begin, we're looking at one of the most iconic, influential, and imitated films of all time: Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 OG slasher film Psycho. Specifically, we're looking at one of the original Scream Queens: Janet Leigh.

Nominated for her portrayal of Marion Crane, Janet Leigh is only in Psycho for 20 minutes; however, she leaves quite the impact in one of the most famous scenes of all time (it may or may not involve a shower.)

We discuss what makes Janet's performance so influential, how the film impacted us, and some of the conversations surrounding the film's portrayal of gender binaries and transgender identities (intentionally or otherwise).
