Tourist Trap

My brother always makes me wear this stupid mask. Join PJ and Derek as they take a detour to the wonderfully bizarre roadside attraction of David Schmoeller’s Tourist Trap (1979). In this episode the guys explore the film’s uncanny atmosphere, its unsettling use of mannequins and telekinesis, the oddball performances, and the strange space it occupies somewhere between slasher, supernatural horror, and fever dream, and why its particular brand of weirdness has earned it a devoted cult following decades after its release. 📺Please vote daily for Third Channel Podcast as Best Podcast for Best of the Bay 2026! https://vote.cltampa.com/entertainment/best-podcastPlease vote daily for FLYY GUY TY as Best Hip-Hop Act for Best of the Bay 2026! https://vote.cltampa.com/entertainment/best-hip-hop-actJoin us on Third Channel Patreon to support the show and gain access to bonus content!Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.
