GBW #27: Resistance is Futile (Slither / The Faculty / Night of the Creeps)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! This week, Chris and Ryan dive into alien assimilation films; most specifically of the "slug" variety, and even more specifically, all three films more or less have the same skeleton plot. We start with 2006's "Slither," James Gunn's goopy, gross-out horror-comedy that cemented early on that he has a skill for treating something like a complete lark and then disarming you with the human element. Then, Chris and Ryan have a slight disagreement about the placement of the next two films. Listen to the episode to find out, but the next films in question are cult favorites "The Faculty" - the Robert Rodriguez/Kevin WIlliamson joint from 1998 that homages '50s B-Movies while having that "hip" postmodern feel - and "Night of the Creeps," Fred Dekker's beloved 1986 oddity that too homages '50s B-Movies, albeit much more directly.  You can find this and future episodes on our website thegoodbadwhat.com.
