Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) With We Heard About Pluto
Did you do your best this year? Too late now... 'cause Santa's here.
This week: a very special Plutember begins!
It's all George picks, all month long, and first up - the gang's all here for Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)!
This is one of my favorites, a seasonal classic and a perfect exploitation movie in my opinion. It's a genuinely compelling movie, and I forgot to talk about it in the episode but I think its kind of a bummer how much of the conversation Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 takes up. Sure "Garbage Day!" is funny and there's some goofy eyebrow acting in the back half but the "highlight reel" style of the first half completely destroys the pacing of this movie, which is what makes it so unique! The slow unfolding of the story is so integral to it. All this to say, Silent Night, Deadly Night is the best horror movie ever made, so listen to Reegs, JP and I break down exactly why that is!
PLUS: Constantine as the last main feed episode of the year, and George Romero's The Amusement Park as the December patreon spotlight! Really great stuff that I'm excited to talk about.
PLUS PLUS: the livestream schedule is shaping up! Our trivia tournament is set, and our planned live commentaries guests include the Drop King Robert Persinger and the Spoonman himself, Mike Mitchell! Further details here!
