Drag Me To Hell (2009)
from Because I'm John Sellmeyer Hosted by John Robert Joseph Sellmeyer
Description: Sam Raimi is back, baby, and he's brought the slime, the scares, and the pitch-black laughs! Join us as we dissect the gloriously gross-out terror of 2009's Drag Me to Hell. Ambitious loan officer Christine Brown denies an old woman a mortgage extension to get ahead at work—a fatal career move. Cursed by the elderly Sylvia Ganush and haunted by the goat-like demon Lamia, Christine has just three days of escalating, disgusting, and hilarious torment before she’s, well... dragged to Hell. In this episode, we talk about the film's brilliant blend of Evil Dead style slapstick horror and genuine supernatural dread. We'll debate Christine's culpability, analyze the movie's surprisingly relevant commentary on the subprime mortgage crisis, and, of course, relive all the most stomach-churning, eye-popping, and handkerchief-wielding moments. Can Christine reverse the curse, or is her soul already on a one-way ticket to eternal damnation? Tune in and find out as we face the Lamia's wrath! Warning: May contain discussions of flying bodily fluids, aggressive old women, and questionable feline sacrifice.
