Episode 111 – Xtro (1982)

The boys know that their fans love it when dip their delicate toes into the world of obscure horror, and this title is definitely one title that checks off all the boxes. Bizarre and completely unexpected, if there’s one title that fans absolutely need to experience prior to listening to their review, it’s fucking Xtro. No idea what the hell Xtro actually means or what it stands for, but its a film that boasts an array of surprisingly fantastic practical effects, a plethora of elegant accents, highly unanticipated plot developments that come out of fucking nowhere, a surprise cameo appearance from the tequila worm from Poltergeist 2 but with legs, and a woman birthing literally birthing a grown man on her kitchen floor. It literally gives you everything you want, a few things you don’t, and so much more than you could ever anticipate from a movie with such an awful title. Now sit your asses down and find this movie before you listen to yet another fabulous episode! Find out more at http://www.darknightofthepodcast.com
