In this episode, we discuss the awesome 1986 "slasher" flick: April Fool's Day. This movie has everything--a clever premise, the amazing Deborah Foreman, a creepy winking Jack in the Box...everything.
*If you haven't watched the movie and don't want the ending spoiled, check it out and then come back and listen to the episode.
-ANNA defends this truly unique 80's horror movie. Does it still hold up? She certainly thinks so and wants you to know why. Spoiler alert: because it's rad.
-KATRINA attacks this time and finds it wasn't particularly difficult arguing against a Jack in the Box, a skeevy character, and 80's era homophobia.

Are you ready for the power? Because He-Man's got it and he wants to give it to you and oh boy that doesn't sound like I thought it would. What I'm trying to say is He-Man wants to show you how much power he has in his sword okay I'm just gonna move on.
This episode we're fighting over the launchpad movie for the He-Man spinoff: She-Ra, and things get real dumb.
So grab a giant bowl of neon-colored breakfast cereal, sit criss-cross applesauce 5" away from the tv like a proper 80's latchkey kid, and enjoy!
Oh and by tv, I mean whatever you use to listen to podcasts.
-ANNA leads the defense on this one and that rules because this movie is adorable. And also super, super gay. It's like an awesome animated 90 minute Pride flag.
-KATRINA attacks a childhood favorite and discovers the movie is still incredibly enjoyable, and also very easy to destroy. It comes from a place of love though!

-ANNA is ready to attack a movie she truly adores. And by ready, I mean forced. Despite her reluctance, she does have a few questions for Katrina:
Are vampires really so bad? Is it weird some of them can avoid exploding with sunblock? Why do they love rubber duckies?
-KATRINA has her trusty notebook filled with interesting trivia and an unquenchable thirst for most of the cast. Will she let any of Anna's attacks sully this movie? You'll have to listen to find out...
