Episode 81: Basket Case Double Feature: BASKET CASE 2 (1990) and BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY (1992)

"I understand your pain, Belial, but ripping the faces off people may not be in your best interest.' This week on on the podcast, Quinn, John, and returning guest Simon discuss the two sequels to the 1982 film BASKET CASE, which was discussed previously in episode 78. We chat about BASKET CASE 2 and the follow up sequel BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY. Both are lighter and campier than the original, but are also directed by the same man (Henenlotter), feature the same main characters and explore the same themes from the earlier film, albeit from a different and less terrifying perspective. Do these films hold up? Before talking about the film, we what we watched this week as well as our latest additions to our watchlists. Tune in next week as Quinn and John discuss... something! We haven't figured it out yet!
