Episode #763: Leprechaun 4: In Space (with James A. Janisse & Chelsea Rebecca of DEAD MEAT)
Added 2024-10-15 04:00:03 +0000 UTC“It’s a very specific kind of dumb…” - Chris
On this week’s SPOOKTACULAR episode, we welcome back our Dead Meat buds, James A. Janisse & Chelsea Rebecca, to chat about the outrageous sci-fi FOUR-OR movie, Leprechaun 4: In Space! How cheap are these computer animated ship effects? What was with that Ray Charles joke? What’s going on with this Mittenhands character? Does having this extra bug monster crowd the field for our beloved monstrous Leprechaun? And how about those exploding genitals, huh? PLUS: Captain Picard turns down the offer to install a disco ball in 10 Forward for… reasons.
Leprechaun 4: In Space stars Warwick Davis, Brent Jasper, Jessica Collins, Gary Grossman, Rebecca Carlton, Tim Colceri, Guy Siner, Debbie Dunning, Rick Peters, Geoff Mead, Ladd York, and Miguel A. Nuñez Jr. as Sticks; directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith.

Loving this. Brief explanation of leprechauns in space: people arrived and found an Irish pub already there. Renowned explorer Livingstone discovered many African countries in the 1800s and all of them had an O’Donnells or Connelly’s with Guinness on tap when he arrived.

2024-10-17 17:40:47 +0000 UTCThe new Children of the Corn is one of the few movies I've started watching with my gf where she has quit halfway through and told me that I would have to finish it without her.

2024-10-16 23:19:14 +0000 UTCThis is one of those movies that I feel must have been pretty depressing to actually be on set for.

2024-10-16 12:35:29 +0000 UTCChris is right that Bug isn’t as popular as their other records, but “Freak Scene” is a great opener and still slaps.

2024-10-16 12:35:21 +0000 UTCStop spoiling recent movies like Cuckoo with details I had no f'ing idea about! Seriously!

2024-10-16 02:30:39 +0000 UTCWhen they finally do "Willow" I hope they bring DM back since it's Leprechaun-adjacent.

2024-10-15 22:38:19 +0000 UTCI believe this and Space Mutiny share the same night club.

2024-10-15 18:11:49 +0000 UTCHey, leave Space Mutiny out of this!
Hard To Gwil
2024-10-15 18:10:37 +0000 UTCThis is true. I now can live my best post-big leprechaun life.

2024-10-15 17:20:16 +0000 UTCThis movie seems like it was porno script they took out all the sex scenes and threw in the leprechaun.
Brittany Mitchell
2024-10-15 16:45:32 +0000 UTCFun fact, there is a Leprechaun themed band out of Seattle called Green Cross. They put out an album in 2013 that you can listen to on bandcamp.

2024-10-15 13:09:57 +0000 UTChell yeah, I hope you keep bringing on Dead Meat even after you run through all the Leprechaun movies
Alex Murica
2024-10-15 08:37:55 +0000 UTCI instantly recognised Dr Mittenhands as Lieutenant Gruber from 'Allo 'Allo, a great 80s WWII sitcom here in the UK. He clearly had a bit of a nazi niche!
Tony King
2024-10-15 08:19:13 +0000 UTCBut you would have missed big leprechaun!
Ray
2024-10-15 08:06:40 +0000 UTCBooks is actually from a nearby city in Oregon and still lives there. Maybe he'll be at the live show!
Ray
2024-10-15 07:50:26 +0000 UTCThis was, for me, the roughest movie to watch for the podcast in a long time, lmao. Rarely do I feel the urge to quit before the movie ends but it was deeply tempting here. Turns out I was right to peace-out on this franchise after the third movie when I was a kid. And yet movies like this make for some of the best episodes of the podcast.

2024-10-15 06:36:16 +0000 UTCMy favorite yearly tradition. Period.

2024-10-15 05:22:20 +0000 UTCSo excited for this one!!
