Carrie's Judy Greer, Prom Night Horror, and the Stephen King Remake
from Movie Memory Machine · host Grunt Work Podcasts
In this mini-episode, Landen and Truman revisit Carrie (2013) to play The Trailer Game and score how many moments they accurately predicted would appear in the movie’s trailer — from blood buckets to telekinetic locker room footage. But along the way, the conversation detours into: How do you explain to your kid that their dad died… from a falling bucket? Would Carrie 3: Ennui be a better sequel than The Rage? Could Julianne Moore have played Carrie herself in the 90s? And is it okay to slow-dance with your teacher at prom if she’s Judy Greer? Plus: thoughts on evangelical horror, Harry Potter comparisons, and an inspired (if cursed) pitch for Harry Carey. We close with our next movie’s release date and a cryptic tagline: “A comedy of the heart… and other organs.” Topics Covered: – The Trailer Game: Carrie edition (2013) – Carrie’s “bucket” death and its legacy – Julianne Moore as Carrie: a missed opportunity? – Evangelical horror and megachurch mayhem – Judy Greer as the cool prom chaperone – Could Carrie have thrived at Hogwarts? – What if she was on the Poseidon instead? – Real-time Googling of “magic powers” – A cryptic teaser for the next forgotten film Support the Show: 🌐 moviememorymachine.com 🎧 patreon.com/gruntworkpod 📽 letterboxd.com/moviememorypod
