Episode 9: Swamp Thing

Published: Dec. 13, 2012, 12:46 a.m.

As the world barrels toward its violent end next Friday, we decided to take our time machine back 30 years to a simpler time. A time when creature makeup and effects were delightfully simpler, a time when movie sidekicks didn\u2019t have to make sense, and a time when you could reasonably expect to see some titties for your 9 dollars and 75 cents. Some movies are good, others are bad, but 1982\u2019s Swamp Thing is pretty neutral. What this fantasy hero lacks in providing a body count, he makes up for in throwing the bad guys around. Joining the monster formerly known as Dr. Alec Holland are a spunky scientist who\u2019s not afraid to show a little side boob, an underage, mentally handicapped entrepreneur and a mutated midget. \u201cHow could this NOT turn out to be awesome?\u201d, you\u2019re probably asking. I wish I knew, but somehow Wes Craven failed us. On a brighter note, Corey and I devise a fool-proof plan to get America out of the recession \u2013 listen in, and start writing your congressmen NOW!\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bmoviebreakdown/support
