Welcome back to another electrifying episode with your hosts, Sam and Leslie! Today, we're taking a trip back to the 1980s with the cult classic horror-comedy "Chopping Mall" (1986).
Directed by Jim Wynorski, "Chopping Mall" embodies the quintessential '80s vibe, combining cheesy humor with slasher horror elements. The plot revolves around a group of teenagers who decide to throw an after-hours party in a high-tech shopping mall. However, their fun night takes a deadly turn when the mall's new security robots malfunction and transform into ruthless killing machines.
The film stars Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell, John Terlesky, Russell Todd, Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, and Barbara Crampton, all delivering performances that perfectly capture the era's spirit. Kelli Maroney shines as the resourceful final girl, bringing both charm and grit to her role.
And of course, no movie night is complete without our Strain of the Week: Wedding Cake (Indica). This strain is ideal for unwinding and getting into the groove of this retro horror-comedy, enhancing both the humor and the thrills.
So, pop some popcorn, light up some Wedding Cake, and join us as we delve into the zany, robot-infested world of "Chopping Mall." It's a nostalgic trip you won't want to miss!
