Wes Craven’s Deadly Friend is part sci-fi, part horror, and 100% bizarre—so of course, we had to talk about it! In this episode, we break down the 1986 cult film about teenage love, brain implants, and one of the most infamous death scenes in horror history (yes, we’re talking about that basketball moment).
Did studio interference ruin Craven’s vision, or is this an underrated gem? Join us as we dive into the film’s troubled production, its mix of heart and horror, and why BB the robot might just be the weirdest ‘80s movie sidekick.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments! Is Deadly Friend a forgotten classic or a misstep in Craven’s career?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
