Let me start by wishing all of you a safe and happy St.
Patrick’s Day! If you listened to the show already then you know we were
drinking, notably me. I typically don’t and this episode demonstrates why, so enjoy that.
While mixing the show and listening to the last third, it was as new for me as
it was for you. I don’t even remember that courtesy of Evan Williams. At a few
points in this episode I sound like Seth Rogen’s mother in Observe and
Report. I love this holiday and come from a family that embraces much more
than the drinking that comes with it. However, I do tend to get a little over
zealous when celebrating. Hopefully, it was tolerable for you!
Now, I was rather harsh on these 6 Leprechaun movies but to
me that is deservedly so. I tend to form my opinions weighted with what the effort
was. Typically low-budget goofy films don’t warrant being ripped apart from a
traditional standpoint. The first film is the only one I was excessively abrasive with, but it was because it has the feel of effort and money to a certain
degree that was not put to proper use. I can find entertainment in horror films
from the 1980’s and 1990’s that have no plot or money, just as long as they have a
little charm (pun intended). My problem is that this movie misses the charm it
could have. It just stays uninspired and lacking of its own identity as a film
from start to finish. But it made money, and that is the end all in the film
industry. This turd of a film uncovered the proverbial “pot of gold”, so it was only natural to see that it was time for sequels. Sadly there would be 5 in total that would
take us to varying city landscapes, space, and even the ghetto (twice). I will
not be talking about them, because I have had enough at this point. Watching
them in preparation for the show and then talking about them on it was enough
for a life time.
Whether St. Paddy’s is tomorrow, today, or has passed for
you; we hope that you safely enjoy yourself, your company, and some traditions.
Please come back to the show again, we won’t be out of control next time. Until
then…

PS – Thank you to my patient co-hosts for not beating me down
physically or verbally during the show. I
really enjoyed hearing me explain my thoughts on Leprechaun 5 twice without
being aware I had already done so or hearing myself say “juxtaposition”
incorrectly on different occasions and “4 loaf clever”. I will be back next
show stone cold sober! Thanks for listening!
