The Protector (2005) and The Long Weekend (1978)
from Kicking and Screaming Podcast Hosted by Vanessa Gritton
In this animal-loving episode, Elijah challenges Vanessa to find the perfect horror pairing for what is easily the best martial arts movie about a man trying to find an elephant, The Protector. After finally determining her favorite animal at a truly unfortunate time, Vanessa counters with another movie about the dangers of interfering with animals, Long Weekend. But how can a slow-burn relationship drama/psychological horror hold up to a bone-crushing masterpiece of Muay Thai? What’s the greatest single take in all of film? And does Vanessa have rabies? The answers to all of these and more, in this week’s double-feature discussion! The official snack pairing for The Protector and Long Weekend is animal crackers and a hardboiled egg that you dye red. This episode was brought to you by the sort of manic energy you get when you’re doing something you love for the first time in a while.
