Episode #703 - The Purge
Added 2023-10-24 04:00:03 +0000 UTC“We need to institute the Purge so Tom Six can finally release The Onania Club!” - Steve
On this week’s show, the 2023 Halloween Spooktacular continues with an episode on the half-baked horror sensation that started it all, The Purge! Why couldn’t they figure out some way to get the movie out of this house for a few scenes? Does this film universe presuppose that all of us have hidden serial killer desires? Why couldn’t we see some white collar Purge-related crimes? And how are so many people getting lost in this stupid house? PLUS: During the Purge, be on the lookout for Houdini: the Beastiality Fiend!
The Purge stars Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder, Adelaide Kane, Rhys Wakefield, Tony Oller, Chris Mulkey, Arija Bareikis, and Edwin Hodge as Bloody Stranger; directed by James DeMonaco.

Think the guys would like the series (at least season 1), it's more about life between purges and more interesting than this movie.

2023-10-24 18:23:32 +0000 UTCI like when I go in blind, get a good episode, AND avoid having to ever waste 2 hrs on a trash film. Maybe I'll do the sequels. Thanks for taking the bullet!

2023-10-24 12:55:37 +0000 UTCThe Forever Purge scares the shit out of me, because it could potentially happen for real.

2023-10-24 12:42:10 +0000 UTCThe Mystery Science Theater 3000 jokes were chefskiss perfect. It cracked me up on my way to the gym. Thank you. This movie is such hot garbage. I saw it opening weekend because the premise was interesting but what a waste of time. 🙃

2023-10-24 10:39:30 +0000 UTCI *unfortunately* was into this franchise enough that I did catch the TV show. You guys were actually mostly on-point. Season 2 jumps around through other points in the year but Season 1 was all within the span of a single Purge night and it's a real snooze-fest. At a certain point I realized it must've been 3:00am on the show and I was just wondering if anyone was going to maybe consider just going to bed.
