This is Jim Carrey’s big breakthrough – his first starring role as a frustrated teenage virgin who can’t get his girlfriend to give it up, so he turns to a female vampire instead and gets more than he bargained for. It’s goofy as hell and 80’s through-and-through, which means we more or less loved it.
There’s Nothing Out There is an amateurish 80’s movie that nevertheless was, in some ways, ahead of its time. But there’s a lot of heart here, and some genuinely fun and funny moments. Directed by a 20 year-old from a script he wrote as a teenager, this week’s movie was fun to watch and discuss.
Part four of our Halloween extravaganza was a fun episode to record. That doesn’t necessarily mean the movie was fun. Listen for some laughs, but stick around for some fascinating movie history surrounding the director of this otherwise laughable cinematic attempt.
