National Lampoon's Class Reunion (1982)
from Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time · host We Write Good
On Kill By Kill, we try our darnedest to cover films that our audience can find and view with their eyeballs. This week, however, is a major exception. For Horror-CoMAYdy, we scoured the internet (and Patrick’s blu-ray collection) to find a movie that just does not work - and the world has conspired to keep hidden: 1982’s NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CLASS REUNION!! A motion picture filled with funny people, a screenplay by a renowned comedy writer, and the results are devoid of almost all humor. And we’re unpacking it all: from the scrubbed history of the film’s conception and filming, to the way it tacks on horror elements with zero desire to make them impactful, and the Bernie Wrightson-illustrated prequel strip that’s better than anything in the final product!! Along the way, we talk paper bag masks, required Blutos, TV-ready incest, “Jokes That Wouldn’t Work Today” Bingo, attempted karate, Terror Train connections, and much, much more!! So join us at Lizzie Borden for a get-together to die for!! List to Pretty in Podcast’s excellent National Lampoon’s Class Reunion episode. Read the David J.
