Demon Knight (aka Last Banana of Christ) with Brad Michael Elmore and Danny Lore

Fear Level: Spooky (a little scary) Trigger Warnings: Sexual assault, gore, gruesome murder, gaslighting and manipulation, child death, sexual exploitation, violence against sex workers, general misogyny, the Crypt Keeper Tales from the Crypt was a big brand in the 90's and they wanted to move from the tv to the box office. Demon Knight was their first attempt. It's fun, funny, and between Jada Pinkett's badass final girl, Billy Zane's zany murder demon, and the deft directing of Ernest Dickerson - they came out with something that exceeded the bro-horror TftC brand. Demon Knight is an action, horror, comedy with lots of shlocky b-movie bits that somehow soars. Director: Ernest Dickerson (trailblazing black horror director of Bones, Juice, DMX’s Never Die Alone, and a number of the best tv shows including The Wire, Dexter, The L Word, Treme and the list goes on) Writers: Ethan Reiff & Cyrus Voris (Bulletproof Monk, Kung Fu Panda, Russel Crowe Robin Hood, Brimstone ,Sleeper Cell) , Mark Bishop Stars: John Kassir (The Cryptkeeper), Jada Pinkett Smith, CCH Pounder, Thomas Haden Church, Brenda Bakke, William Sadler, and the reason we’re all here whether we know it or not, Billy Zane. What’s it about? A man on the run is hunted by a demon known as the Collector. Topics of Discussion: These bookends suck But the Danny Elfman ass theme slaps You can't catch me, gay thoughts Demon John Wayne Jada doing the most Thomas Hayden Church's nipple shock kink Victories of omission Unfortunate portrayal of sex workers CCH Pounder - a one liner machine Billy Zane is absolutely glorious Boobs and blood, the Tales from the Crypt brand Legacy heroes This movie needs a sequel franchise Recommendations: The Prophecy Devilman From Dusk til Dawn Demon: the Fallen Follow our guest: Brad Michael Elmore Twitter: https://twitter.com/BradMichaelElm1 Go Buy "Bit" right now!
