"Ed you're talking as if he were a human being!"

Ed from 'The Film Effect Podcast' returns for his second dose of Halloween goodness by joining Sean to discuss the much-beloved? Halloween IV: The Return of Michael Myers (1988).

Discussion Points:

-Yes, Sean does these reviews just to do an impression of Donald Pleasence as Doctor Loomis.

-Ed brings his best Steven Seagal impression.

-The amount of love in the film community for this film.

-Stew from Stew World Order sends in his rating for the film.

-Ed brings fantastic trivia and insights into how the film was made.

-Sean doesn't understand that Sheriff Brackett didn't move to the former Soviet Union.

-Ed helps out put this film into context in the odd Halloween timeline(s).

-Ed and Sean discuss an idea for why the mask is so white.

-You're talking as if he were a human being Ed.

-The pick-up shots to add more gore.

-Loomis's change of direction.

-The rushed production.

-That uplifting ending.

Raised Questions:

-Do you consider this the second best instalment of the whole series?

-Do you prefer the 'Earl and the Gang' or the 'Evil Dies Tonight lynch mob'?

-Why can't Sean remember the Sheriff's name in this film?

-Do you wish Halloween (2018) was called Halloween H40?

-Would you watch Halloween: Overtime?

-Is it possible to discuss a Halloween film without discussing all the others?

-Have you ever dipped your tie in coffee?

-Would you watch Michael Myers versus The Winter Soldier?
