Nonetheless, we still enjoyed discussing this Charles Band production, directed by Roger Corman’s long-time special effects wizard, John Carl Buechler. A comic book artists brings a creature to life through her drawings that feeds off of…creativity. Big thanks to Jennifer for requesting this one!
This “horror” film would have been better off as part of our kids’ horror movie theme months. Nevertheless, we both held curiously fond memories about the inaugural episode of this long-lasting series of films. Starring Warwick Davis, Leprechaun went to some crazy places – Vegas, The Hood (twice) and even outer space. We decided we’d start tackling this franchise by starting with the first, starring a fresh-faced Jennifer Aniston in her first film role, just a year before Friends.
Who’s Watching Oliver certainly divided us and is not to everyone’s taste. But with fantastic acting and cinematography, we did agree that the film had merit. If you wanna check it out, it’s on a couple streaming services right now.
The Exorcist 3 is a weird an uneven and (as usual) plagued by studio interference. But it IS the source to one of the single-most-notoriously-effective jump scares in horror cinema. And yes, we talked about that too. Thanks to Adam for the request!
In fact, this is another one of those weeks where we suggest that ALL of our fans go out and see this film before listening to the episode. Its charms – and there are many – will be best experienced if you don’t go into it knowing much about it, much less a play-by-play of the plot. You’ve come this far with us. You can trust us. This is worth your time.
