Description

The pinnacle of Holocaust movies is featured in our 114th episode. Steven Spielberg was not the obvious choice to direct this devastating picture, but Mister Blockbuster found a way to merge art with commerce...and make another blockbuster! It remains revered in most critical circles and you really must see it if you haven't. Buy some Sparkplug Coffee and then settle in for the List.

The blockbuster legend was an ideal choice to adapt Ernie Cline's best-selling page-turner, itself a story that's drenched in nostalgia for a pop-culture era that Spielberg helped to create and shape. So when we were given the opportunity to have Ready Player One screenwriter Zak Penn on the show, we jumped... and it led to one of the best movie-geek conversations in ReelBlend history. by ReelBlend

John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness (w/ Josh Hollis): We have a message for you… and you’re not going to like it. Well, maybe you’ll love it!! We’re investigating the 1987 John Carpenter classic, PRINCE OF DARKNESS with Returning Champion and Kill By Kill artist-in-residence, Josh Hollis! Along the way, we scientifically examine why critics feel that horror movie characters need to be aware they’re in a horror movie, discuss painted on polos, wonder if Meatloaf is filming a video on the same set, we pitch a “buddy cop” flick for Jerry Seinfeld and the Vlasic Pickle Stork, consider demonic facials, and ask - is this movie a secret sequel to THE VISITOR? All that and we play a swirling round of Choose Your Own Death-venture and talk mirror fingering. Like adults do. Never fear - new episodes of Kill By Kill are made available every other Friday!
