Episode 81 starts a year-by-year march through the decade of the 1980’s with David Cronenberg’s “Scanners”. Before getting into the 1981 classic, your hosts discuss some recent tweets we received from filmmaker Christian Stella, who had additional info on “The Battery” (2012). We also discuss why Adam Driver hasn’t yet played Joey Ramone in a Ramones biopic. Let’s face the inevitable, shall we, Adam? And who were the other bands considered for “Rock ’n’ Roll High School”? Wikipedia might help solve that mystery! Jolyon barely gets started with his “recently watched” list and the conversation sidetracks to Molly Ringworm and Orson Welles. By the way, was Orson Welles EVER honest? Experts think not. Did you know there are Shakespearean dick jokes? “But, but, he wasn’t even American” you say. Welcome to harsh reality! Speaking of which, there was a 1979 TV show called “Salvage 1”. It starred Andy Griffith as a junkyard owner who built a junk rocket for salvaging space junk. How did that fail to launch? And finally “Scanners”…made when your movie was required to have at least one major scene shot in a mall. Exploding heads were not a requirement, but you’d sometimes get them anyway. And from a Canadian, no less! Stick around and learn a few things about this classic 80’s movie and it’s special effects. Also, learn how to avoid nighttime scary stuff. Will tells you to just go to sleep and then go out during the day when stuff isn’t scary. Now, concentrate hard and listen closely- this episode is coming at you like a shotgun full of Kosher salt! #horror #horrormovies #horrornerd #horroraddict #horrorjunkie #monsterkid #bmovie #scarymovies #monstermovie #podcast #chewingthescenery #zombies #zombie #VHS #moviemonsters #freepodcast #denver #colorado #creaturefeature #creaturefeatures #indiefilms #indiehorror #canadianhorror #scanners #cronenberg #davidcronenberg #1981 #itcamefromthe80s
