Leprechaun (1993)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head to the end of the rainbow and 1993's horror/comedy cult classic, Leprechaun, as we just celebrated St. Patrick's Day, and the movie has gotten a new 4K (and VHS!) release from Lionsgate Limited.In one of his defining roles, Warwick Davis stars as The Leprechaun, a malevolent supernatural being who is obsessed with his gold coins, killing anyone who comes into possession of them.  When teenager Tory (Jennifer Anniston) arrives to spend the summer at her father's new country farmhouse, dim-witted contractor Ozzie Jones (Mark Holton) accidentally releases The Leprechaun from his capture in the farmhouse's basement, and he goes on a rampage to get his coins back, which Ozzie and 10-year-old Alex (Robert Hy Gorman) found nearby.  Zach and Chris discuss The Leprechaun's various forms of transportation, the rules of the bag of gold coins, death by pogo stick, Jennifer Anniston basically playing Rachel, and more.You can watch Leprechaun on Peacock.  Next week, we're discovering the Secret of the Ooze and discussing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II for its 35th anniversary.  If you are heading to PAX East in Boston next week and want more TMNT, be sure to check out our panel on the history of TMNT games at 5 PM EST in the Dragonfly Theater.We want to hear your comments and feedback.  Send them all to [email protected].  Also, let us know your movie suggestions for us to discuss.Please subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.  You can also find the podcast on YouTube.Check us out on Twitter (@evaction), Facebook (www.facebook.com/everything.action), and Instagram (@everything.action).
