Description
Spooktober rolls along as Troy and Brad welcome back the charismatic Charlie Gonzalez to the show. On this episode, the gang tackles the 1997 horror/sci-fi film Event Horizon. This Paul W.S. Anderson movie finds the titular Event Horizon abandoned near the planet Neptune. Listen as the guys discuss the wonky science within the film, the spooky haunted house tropes littered throughout the script, the paper folding space travel explanations, a character called Baby Bear, and Laurence Fishburne doing……..well………cool Laurence Fishburne things!Paramount Studios rushed Event Horizon into theaters because a famous director couldn’t get his movie about a ship hitting an iceberg completed on time. Ultimately, the filmmakers had to cut a lot of corners and audiences may never get to see the complete version. The film failed to recoup its $60 million budget and critics were not impressed. Does this film deserve to be labeled a "bomb"? Listen and find out!Event Horizon is directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson , RIchard T. Jones, Jack Noseworthy, Jason Isaacs, and Sean Pertwee.Let us know what you think of Event Horizon!
