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.
