The First Power (1990)

from Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time · host We Write Good

Coming to you straight from the mean streets of DTLA, this episode of the show is putting the 1990 horror-procedural THE FIRST POWER on the stand!! Under cross-examination are the many “undead killer” films of the late 80s and early 90s, what possesses Lou Diamond Phillips to keep wearing a trenchcoat in LA weather, exploring the open and flammable acid pits under Silver Lake, and accounting for how much a local psychic can pull to be able to afford an architectural wonder!! All this, plus a drive-by hoofing, impossible ceiling fans, wang-dang-doodle-splaining, jammy egg acting, obvious dummies, gnarly stunts, and a teleportation-heavy edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It’s a manic Satanic panic this week on Kill By Kill!! Check it out!! NOTE: We apologize once again for missing last week. We have yet to recover all of the audio from our Friday the 13th's Worst Couples episode. Hopefully, we will have it back before next Friday the 13th next month!
