Movie Meltdown - Episode 629

Sam Drog returns… and this time we kick things off with a book club discussion on how reexamining children’s books as an adult can ruin your life. Or perspective of it? Then eventually we also discuss some movies we’ve watched. 

And as we decontextualize someone's feelings, we also delve into… Bucket of Blood, Abigail, Charles Beaumont, The Million Eyes of Sumuru, Roger Corman, Damon Packard, Venom, The Girl from Rio, 1984, Dom DeLuise, Tobe Hooper, The Giving Tree, keep making art, beatniks, the Scream sequels, Dick Miller, unconditional love, Green Eggs and Ham, A Day in the Life of John Carpenter, this is a very codependent relationship, with a wrench and a bucket, a killer snake, the dancing scene, becoming part of the system, Death Race 2050, unfulfilled expectations and disillusionment, Beyond the Valley of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and everything's become a metaphor.

“You are sort of like a children’s book… a weird, crazy children’s book.”
