37: Night of the Creeps
03/04/24 • 92 min
Bryan and Dave take a good long look at Fred Dekker's 1986 cult favorite, Night of the Creeps and come away with a vastly different view of it than when they watched it as kids. What could possibly change their minds so significantly? It's a pastiche of 50's and 60's drive in tropes filtered through a 1980's horror movie lens but unfortunately, given the way things have shaken out in modern times, some of those tropes haven't aged well at all. Thankfully, Tom Atkins is here to save everything. Thrill me!

99CR 07: Get Crazy
This week Dave and Bryan take a look at Allan Arkush's follow up to Rock n Roll High School, the rock musical Looney Tunes mayhem of Get Crazy. It's a story of three filmmakers butting heads over the movie they were trying to make. Arkush intended for a nostalgia-drenched tribute to his teenage years at The Fillmore East in the style of Scorcese's The Last Waltz, the producer wanted a fast and stupid visual comedy in the style of Airplane! and the Executive Producer wanted a movie that was going to fail and fail badly so his tax shelter investors could turn a healthy profit. Somehow, they all got what they wanted in the end.
