This week, join us for one of our favorite movies to watch during the Halloween season, 1979's Phantasm! We watched this movie together as teenagers and spend this episode comparing notes after 20-odd years. The movie holds up as a 70s time capsule and a teenage nightmare; plus, it spawned a decades-long franchise that's still going strong with writer-director Don Coscarelli. If you haven't seen Phantasm, you're truly missing out! On this episode: a very tall man (made taller by platform shoes and too-small suits), a cool-kid-hero, an homage to (or plagiarism of) Dune, killer dwarves, front porch sing-a-longs, a heroic ice cream man, an angry red planet, flying driller-killer spheres and one of the greatest horror movie scores of all time!
