GBW #84: Be Still, My Beating Heart (My Bloody Valentine / Valentine / X-Ray)

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 return to the well of holiday-themed slasher movies with a trio of Valentine's Day carnage that's sure to rip your heart out! First, we discuss 1981's "My Bloody Valentine," which came out just under a year after "Friday the 13th" hit paydirt (also distributed by Paramount), yet is superior in every conceivable way. After gushing over the 1981 classic, we go more contemporary with 2001's "Valentine," a film that the two of us are split on (one of us surprisingly went for this retrograde slasher that seems like it's going to be another SCREAM knockoff, but isn't). Then, we do our best to make heads or tails of the 1982 Cannon Films, Playboy Playmate Barbi Benton-starring bizzaro slasher "X-Ray" aka "Hospital Massacre." You can find this and future episodes - as well as subscribe to our show - on Apple Podcasts, Anchor.fm, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Google Podcasts, and more!
