The Psycho Franchise

Ever watch a movie and find yourself mentally rewriting the third act, or wondering how a promising idea went so wrong? That’s the exact spirit of Movie Maintenance, a podcast from Sanspants Radio that dives into the world of cinema with a uniquely hands-on approach. Think of it as a workshop for films, where each episode picks apart a Hollywood hit or miss-not just to critique, but to actively rebuild. The hosts operate from a playful yet passionate conviction: they can do it better. What you’ll hear is a lively blend of scene-by-scene review, speculative fan fiction, and what they call ‘armchair producing,’ as they brainstorm alternative plots, characters, and endings. It’s less about simply pointing out flaws and more about the creative fun of fixing them, whether the film is a beloved classic or a notorious flop. This podcast is for anyone who loves talking about movies beyond a simple thumbs up or down, offering a space where passionate film discussion meets imaginative problem-solving. So if you’ve ever shouted at the screen with a better idea, you’ll find a kindred spirit here.
