Dressed to Kill, Brian De Palma’s revered homage to Psycho, has been called both “one of the great American classics of the 80s” and a “problematic thriller”. On this week’s episode, Marcus & Dan tackle this controversial cult film from one of New Hollywood’s grand masters, and answer the million dollar question: "Has it aged like fine wine or milk?"
