Summary

Protect your wallets from suspicious drifters because we're ending April with a boring, unsexy vampire road trip movie: J.S. Cardone'sThe Forsaken! Joining us for this torturous venture is Hellbent director Paul Etheredge! Join us as we try to determine whether the film is unintentionally homoerotic or just plain bro-y. We'll delve into Simon Rex's '90s porn career, discuss some of our own porn preferences and discuss the heavy vampirism-as-AIDS metaphor the film incorporates. A discussion of The Forsaken can't be had without discussing kinda-sorta lead actress Izabella Miko and how the film mishandles her character. She's nude in her introductory scene, has maybe five lines of dialogue and isn't given a name until the end credits. Yay, feminism! Plus, title card titties, Johnathon Schaech giving a performance, new (terrible) vampire lore, waitresses who are really concerned about the coffee bill and just how many times can these characters run out of gas? Spoiler alert: a lot. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Letterboxd and/or Facebook, or join the Facebook Group to get in touch with other listeners > Trace: @tracedthurman > Joe: @bstolemyremote > Paul (Instagram): @dogheaddog And don't forget to support the boys on Patreon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
