Fusco Fest - Loch Ness (1996)

hosts Father Malone and HP, from Noise Junkies, delve into 'Loch Ness' (1996), a film written by John Fusco and directed by John Henderson. The movie, starring Ted Danson, Jolie Richardson, Ian Holm, and James Frain, follows a disgraced cryptozoologist's journey to Loch Ness to debunk the myth of the Loch Ness Monster. The hosts discuss the film's plot, characters, and performances, with particular praise for Ted Danson's portrayal. They highlight the film's mixed reception—expressing specific disappointment with the score by Trevor Jones and Rod Stewart's closing song—while also appreciating the charming interactions and the physical depiction of the Loch Ness Monster. Additionally, they share their enthusiasm for Cryptids and the enduring mystery of the Loch Ness Monster.
