Episode 99 – Venom (2005)

from Dark Night of the Podcast · host Troy Escamilla, Roger Conners

For their 99th full length episode, Troy and Roger head on down to the Louisiana bayou where they prepare to tackle the illusive and practically forgotten 2005 slasher offering Venom, a title that all but faded into obscurity following its overwhelming unsuccessful release. Is the practically unanimous poor reception from reviewers and moviegoers alike for good reason, or is there a hidden gem here buried in a suitcase beneath the dirt along with all of those godawful cgi snakes? That’s for the gays to decide, so jump inside Ray Sawyers shitty old tow truck and listen along as they banter over their opinions on related topics such as whether or not facial scars make white trash truck drivers more or less appealing, the problems with introducing major points of character development that ultimately serve little to no purpose, the questionable decision of killing off all of the African American actors in a movie focused around the intricacies of voodoo, the ongoing curse that is Agnus Bruckner’s acting career, and the many MANY issues they have with the usage of CGI blood. So does Venom deserve the bad wrap, or can it be milked of all of that bad juju and earn its rightful place in the slasher hall of fame? You’ll just have to listen to find out! Tune in now, or else the boys will have to turn you into their very own human voodoo doll! Find out more at http://www.darknightofthepodcast.com
