Just in time for Halloween, THE MILKSHAKE BOOM bring you a monstrously spooky episode on 'Creature Features'!
We define what 'Creature Feature' means to us, talk about some of our favorites including the old-school Universal monster movies, delve into the tropes of the genre, and answer once and for all if zombie movies can be considered 'creature features'.
We also answer some listener questions, formally apologize to Christian Slater, and accidently invent the 'killer trucks on a raft' subgenre!
Despite three of the four hosts being very ill, THE MILKSHAKE BOOM down a bottle of Nyquil and skip our vacations just so we could unpack this highly explosive action/sci-fi/buddy cop/drug dealing alien extravaganza directed by Craig R. Baxley! This 1990 film, starring Dolph Lundgren and Brian Benben, might be better known to most of the world as 'Dark Angel', but we here in North America call it 'I Come In Peace'!
And you can forget about Chuck Norris facts, because we lay down the truth with some amazing Dolph Lundgren facts, like for example: Did you know that Dolph Lundgren dated Grace Jones? Google that shit!
Promise us that you'll listen to this episode and not just disappear for eight days. A week we could understand, but eight days?! C'mon!
This week THE MILKSHAKE BOOM take our troubles to Madame Ruth (you know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth?) and drink in 'Love Potion No. 9', a romantic comedy from 1992 written and directed by Dale Launer and starring Tate Donovan and Sandra Bullock!
And while we discuss topics like our favorite Sandra Bullock movies, we mainly focus on the incredibly dark under current that is this movie's premise! For the most part, this is just a fun little rom com, but then again...
Wow, who would have thought a catchy little tune for the 1950's would inspire such a perverse nightmare?
