Episode #725: Leprechaun 3 (with Dead Meat's James A. Janisse & Chelsea Rebecca)
Added 2024-02-27 05:00:05 +0000 UTC“I think Vegas is the place where you also go to bury your mistakes and make new ones…” - Chris
On this week’s episode, we welcome back our Dead Meat buds, James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca, to talk about the completely entertaining, direct-to-video horror sequel, Leprechaun 3! How amazingly does the Leprechaun fit right in, in Las Vegas? How hysterically naive is this Scott fella when playing in the casino? Why does the Big Boss at this casino have his big, fancy, Boss Suite… on the third floor? And why does it take the Leprechaun so long to kill that pawn shop owner? PLUS: Where can we get a copy of this amazing folklore encyclopedia CD-ROM?
Leprechaun 3 stars Warwick Davis, John Gatins, Lee Armstrong, John DeMita, Michael Callan, Marcelo Tubert, and Caroline Williams as Loretta; directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith.

This is the Citizen Kane of the Leprechaun franchise. I was so happy to see them finally do an episode on it. It did not disappoint either.

2024-03-01 23:12:08 +0000 UTCFor whatever reason Leprechaun 4: In Space was on cable a lot when I was in college. I came home one day to find my roommate 2/3 through it. He tried to explain what he’d watched so far with no luck. So we sat and watched again later that day. Has to be one of the weirdest divergences that any film franchise has ever taken.

2024-03-01 14:18:44 +0000 UTCGreat episode! Can't wait until Lep in Space and hope we get episodes for all the Warwick Lep movies. Vegas is probably the best, but Lep in the Hood close second.

2024-02-28 20:56:09 +0000 UTCI’d like to think Pilleggi didn’t have a script for that Fox magician’s show and they just recorded his live reaction

2024-02-27 22:01:21 +0000 UTCMy wife's mother just asked her last week if she could fix Grandma's old Nano which apparently was still getting daily use. So there's your untapped market, Steve.

2024-02-27 20:35:17 +0000 UTCThe only other Brian Trenchard-Smith movie I’be ever watched is in my WHM wishlist, an early 80s ozploitation flick with Olivia Hussey called TURKEY SHOOT
Felipe Sobreiro
2024-02-27 20:34:25 +0000 UTCIt really endeared me to Art when he told Mitch that if he could wish for anything it would be healthcare for all Americans Also I didn’t think they did anything bad with the secret gay relationship between them, I think they were doing it as a wink and not a joke, since it’s too subtle for the people who would find that funny to get

2024-02-27 12:04:28 +0000 UTCI just picture Steve’s Pawn Shop Guy looking up from the Nano to Steve’s eyes with disgust like “out of here, scum!”

2024-02-27 11:27:33 +0000 UTCYou guys have great energy together. I say you start a bi-annual podcast where fans of both shows can pick the movie.

2024-02-27 08:50:57 +0000 UTCPimpin pee wee is on Tubi of course. I just watched Transylvania Twist (89) on YouTube. A comedy horror that has vampires zombies, and somehow Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Pinhead, Boris Karloff who died 30 years earlier, and Angus Grimm but they misspelled his name. It's more funny than any real scares and corny but I got a few laughs from it and it's under 90 minutes https://youtu.be/ECFLik5eYS4?si=374sKYToyEoww1-d
