Bit of a spooky one this week. Another Horror by John Carpenter that focuses on religious aspects to make it just that little bit more chilling. Apart from that, in this weeks episode you can expect a lot of characters who are as thick as the fog, a backstory that seems like a more interesting movie and ZOMBIES......actually I don't think they are zombies, don't really know what they are.

Episode 46 - Sex, Lies and Videotape (1989)

80s Cinema Club ·

2024/02/04

Now this week is a strange one. As you may be able to tell from the title this film is about 3 specific things. And in that sense the film is definitely telling the truth as there is literally nothing going on expect people talking about sex, lies or funnily enough videotape. You can expect an extended conversation about 'garbage' with a therapist, some of the blandest acting ever seen and your two hosts a bit out of their minds because of the unusual recording time of this episode.

It's hard to put this weeks film into words.
