Episode 78: BASKET CASE (1982)

"What's in the basket? Easter eggs?" With Curtis away, Quinn and John decided to discuss one of Quinn's favourites (and one John watched in an entire triple feature marathon!): BASKET CASE! We discuss a bit about the director of the film, Frank Henenlotter, and his impact on 80s exploitation filmmaking and more recently in the world of film restoration, before talking about this movie (and also discuss a bit about Basket Case 2 and 3 towards the end). We finish up by giving our scores. Before that, we run through our newest watchlist entries and discuss what we watched this week (and thanks to Curtis for providing his notes). We will be back in a few weeks to discuss ALIEN.  TIME STAMPS 00:00:00 Introduction Watchlist 00:03:22 The Way of the Gun (Quinn) 00:04:11 Milk [2008] (Quinn) 00:05:40 Camille 2000 (John) 00:07:11 Anything Else [2003] (John) 00:07:47 High Plains Drifter (John) 00:09:40 Grave Robbers (Curtis) What we watched this week 00:10:09 Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (Curtis) 00:13:38 Gemma: My Murder [BBC Doc] (Curtis) 00:16:24 The Money Pit (Quinn) 00:18:26 Creed (John) 00:22:13 The Mummy [1999] (John) 00:24:00 Inkheart (John) 00:25:24 The Wonder (John) 00:29:45 Ready or Not [2019] (John) 00:27:08 Parents [1989] (John) 00:31:37 BASKET CASE Discussion 00:52:00 Scores 00:55:48 Coming Up Next!
