Episode 83 - Heathers

Dragon on The Couch: The Dragon watched Annette (Prime), a musical with an opening sequence she loved but which she did not enjoy after that. Next, the Dragon watched Rawhead Rex (Shudder), an Irish film from the 80’s that she enjoyed as a fun, dumb monster movie. Finally, the Dragon went to the theater to watch X (theaters), which Berto happened to have also watched. They both thought it was fine and a decent throwback to the slashers of the late 70’s, but were expecting a little more from the killers.

 

Berto on the Bed: Berto watched Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (Tubi), which he thought was better than the 2^nd film, but was still very bad. Next Berto watched Sweatshop (Tubi), a film he said was a throwback to mid-80’s slashers. He didn’t think it was good, but appreciated what they were trying to achieve. Next, Berto watched Bliss (Shudder), a movie that compares a woman becoming a vampire to drug addiction, he felt it was a decent film. Next, Berto watched Kill Chain (Prime) an anthology crime film about a series of kills, which he thought was decent. Next, Berto watched Shattered (Tubi), a movie about a man who is in an accident and has amnesia, and as the movie progresses, it gets increasingly crazier. Berto thought it was a crazy movie and was so bad it was good. Finally, he watched The Tinder Swindler (Netflix), a documentary about a con artist on Tinder which he thought was good and well made.

 

This week's deep dive is the 1989 dark comedy Heathers, currently steaming on Amazon Prime.
