401 - PET SEMATARY (1989) + DREAMCATCHER (2003) ft. Mike Thorn

from SLEAZOIDS · host SLEAZOIDS

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Mike Thorn kick off SPOOKTOBER by discussing two different eras of largely faithful Stephen King adaptations: Mary Lambert's playful, colorful and yet still effectively upsetting and morbid realization of PET SEMATARY (1989) and Lawrence Kasdan's attempt at keeping a straight (expensive Hollywood production) face while King bizarrely remixes many of his career-long obsessions in the painkiller induced fever dream of DREAMCATCHER (2003). Next week's episode is a patron-exclusive bonus episode on two Italian legends: Dario Argento's DEEP RED (1975) and Lucio Fulci's THE PSYCHIC (1977), you can get access to that episode (and all past + future bonus episodes) by subscribing to our $5 tier on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sleazoidspodcast Intro // 00:00-12:22 PET SEMATARY // 12:22-1:20:30 DREAMCATCHER // 1:20:30-2:31:40 Outro // 2:31:40-2:35:38 All things Mike can be found at: https://mikethornwrites.com/ NEW SLEAZOIDS SHIRT + HAT: https://blackbeltcinema.ca/search?q=sleazoids&options%5Bprefix%5D=last WEBSITE: www.sleazoidspodcast.com/ Pod Twitter: twitter.com/sleazoidspod Pod Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/SLEAZOIDS/ Josh's Twitter: twitter.com/thejoshl Josh's Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/thejoshl Jamie's Twitter: twitter.com/jamiemilleracas Jamie's Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/jamiemiller
