Minisode 175: Blades (1988)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/10/20

No it's not the sequel to the 1998 hit Blade where they add another Wesley Snipes; it's the golf course lawnmower parody of Jaws. Brought into homes by Troma, of course, and inflicted upon this show by Bigfoot Ben. Brian and Steve suffer through this no-Pro, only Am joke that should've been a 3 minute fake trailer instead of full length film over 90 minutes. Plus our November Showdown topic announced!

2025/09/29

The final days before we dive full force into the reason for the season, Brian and Steve are watching a new to ScreamBox Indonesian horror. It's called The Draft! aka Setan Alas! And it's not what you think. Our review is full spoilers, but also adds context to some of the things lost culturally. It's both a movie that deserves to be seen completely cold, but also can be enhanced by context, so listener beware.

What if The Terminator and Robocop were mostly stern phone calls? What if the main android of those films was your stepdad after a couple beers at your little league game? Boy those movies would suck. Thankfully, R.O.T.O.R. was stupid so the other films didn't have to be. Depressed robots, American Gladiators, pre-Buc-ee's craze Texas, and nary a line of original dialogue.
