Ever wonder why some cult classics leave us scratching our heads in puzzled delight? Join us as we reminisce about the unmistakable charm of 90s local video stores, with their musty scents and mysterious adult sections, and our bewildering encounter with the movie "Phantasm." This bizarre blend of low-budget horror and sci-fi had us hooked as kids and still leaves us giggling today. From the intimidating Tall Man to the quirky Reggie and his ice cream truck escapades, we unravel the film's chaotic plot and question whether its oddball charm was a product of its time or a stroke of creative genius. Is it better-than-bad in a way that only films like "King Kung Fu" can be? Listen in to find out.
Prepare for a rollercoaster of chaos as we tackle interdimensional demons, mustard-bleeding aliens, and the wild imagination that defines "Phantasm." We recount the ridiculousness of a beetle-transformation, plans to trap the Tall Man in abandoned mines, and jaw-dropping plot twists including a shape-shifting girl with a knife. Just when you think it's all a dream, horror strikes again! This episode is a humorous celebration of the film's blend of humor, horror, and inexplicable moments, guaranteed to make you see cult classics in a whole new light.
