Show notes
This is a throw-back, one of our very early episodes, originally recorded around Halloween 2019. We review this 1977 “classic” which at the time was the first animal-themed horror movie for the podcast. But we’ve grown up and if you are familiar with our podcast, you might notice how the show has evolved (devolved?). But there are a lot of new fresh drops in this episode. I hope you know what drops are. Maybe you call them stingers. In any event, they were all made recently and we are excited about them. But who cares about the drops? I know that you, the faithful listener, are here for the animals. Do we deliver? Well if you consider Leslie Nielsen shirtless in the rain to be an animal, then we definitely talk about animals in this episode. There is lots of film history to explore here, and Simon does not hold back. We start to heat up about half-way through as we realize how much we dislike yet love this terrible awesome movie. We discuss what is potentially problematic in the film, and Simon & Mike educate about women’s rights. This episode might be for the hardcore cinemanimal fans. Simon accuses us of being “low energy” towards the end. We are not “low energy”. Or maybe we are. You decide. The most striking thing about this episode is I’m not sure if we hate this movie or love it. Or maybe we just hate ourselves? Maybe we hate you? It’s really hard to be sure of anything after watching this movie. As always, we have an email address: [email protected]
