Ep 107: The Faculty

The next installment in our Halloween Horrorfest, THE FACULTY is directed by one of Derrick's favorite directors, Robert Rodriguez, and stars a deep cast of future stars including Josh Hartnett, Clea DuVall, Jordanna Brewster, Jon Stewart, Famke Janssen, Elijah Wood and Usher (in his film debut) as well as old favorites like Selma Hayek, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth, Robert Patrick and Chris McDonald! Basically, this is The Invasion of the Breakfast Club Snatchers, with a high school being infiltrated by alien squids that bind with their hosts and alter their behavior. A ragtag team of kids, including the jock, the cheerleader, the nerd, the burnout and the new girl, are made to join forces to stop the invasion before it can spread outside of their little Ohio town. We revel in the 90s-ness of the soundtrack, the storytelling, the action and the fashion while finding ways to dismiss the sometimes god-awful CG.
