50 Date Night Screams

"Strangers of the Evening" is a pre-Hayes code mystery from 1932. There's some body switching going on at the coroner's office, in order to cover up a crime. When a prominent person is presumed murdered, his daughter and her fiancée are the main suspects, because they've left town abruptly. Are these two completely different storylines that don't seem to have any connection? Yes, they are. How do they wind up coming together? Well, Amber had to watch the movie several times to understand. Amber and Mike discuss how it all ends and talk about the character Mike created for use in tabletop role playing games which you can download for free.

Manfish - 1956

“Manfish,” from 1956, is a “find the treasure” adventure flick which takes place in the Caribbean. What sets this story apart is that it’s based on two Edgar Allan Poe stories, "The Gold-Bug" and "The Tell-Tale Heart.” The movie follows a ne’er do well captain of a turtle fishing boat and his crew, as they get involved with a local treasure hunter. They find mistrust and misadventure in equal measure, and wind up getting more than they bargained for. Mike and Amber take on this uneven but interesting film and discuss the original non-player character that Mike created after being inspired by “Manfish."

Title: Manfish

Director: W. Lee Wilder

IMDB Rating: 4.6 out of 10

Length: 1 hour and 26 minutes

Notable actors: Lon Chaney Jr.

Content warnings: Alcoholism, racism, misogyny, murder, animal cruelty
