Show notes

On this week's episode, the gang goes back to King Country to talk about the lackluster 1984 Stephen King adaptation, Firestarter! Why was Gene Siskel so unimpressed with all these awesome explosions? Why do we bother using computer effects nowadays when blowing up a dummy is one of the greatest things a human being can see with their own two eyes? And where is the timeline where we got the wild-ass John Carpenter adaptation? PLUS: Litigation-lover George Lucas goes hard at Stephen King!

Firestarter stars Drew Barrymore, David Keith, Martin Sheen, Heather Locklear, Art Carney, Freddie Jones, Louise Fletcher, Moses Gunn, and the great George C. Scott; directed by Mark L. Lester.

PLUS: Did Heston's character come of age during the early-aughts' NYC indie music revival?

S12 Ep606: Event Horizon Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

On this week's episode the gang finds themselves in a bit of a We Like Movies situation as they chat about the outrageously entertaining Paul W.S. Anderson film, Event Horizon! How great is Larry Fishburne in this movie? Should they have just gone all-in and made this another Hellraiser-in-space film? Why can't anyone just say it's Hell they're going inside? And look out, we've got ourselves another Solaris-esque dead wife here! PLUS: How different would this movie have been if Sam Neill's role went to one of its earlier candidates—Arnold!

Event Horizon stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones, Jack Noseworthy, Sean Pertwee, and Jason Isaacs; directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.
