43: Urban Legend (w/ Mike Muncer)

Episode 43 sees Andy and Mitch joined by the host of the absolutely excellent Evolution of Horror Podcast (which was one of the first podcast recommendations in the early minisodes)... it's Mike Muncer!  His chosen film? Urban Legend! Following the release and subsequent success of Wes Craven's Scream, the slasher film enjoyed something of a renaissance. However, it's fair to say that this came with mixed results. Films like I Know What You Did Last Summer were well received, while films like Cherry Falls and Valentine, were less so and have largely slipped out of memory.  Standing tall in the pile, and yet often overlooked, is Urban Legend! With a cast that includes Alicia Witt, Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart, Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson and Robert Englund, Urban Legend is a fun, if frequently nonsensical slasher, that shouldn't be forgotten. Check it out, or don't.  The synopsis is as follows:  A university is beset by a rash of gruesome murders that resemble old urban legends. When her friend Michelle is killed by someone hiding in her car, Natalie begins to notice the pattern. Her suspicions grow stronger when her own roommate is strangled to death. Soon the quiet college campus is transformed into hunting grounds for a maniac, and Natalie struggles to find the killer and stop the bloodshed before she becomes the next victim.
