As we put the nail in the coffin of 2020 and step into a new coffin a.k.a. 2021, we're celebrating two New Years cult classics: the 1980 ball dropper slasher "New Year's Evil" featuring an unhinged white dude embarking on a festive killing spree through Van Nuys, and the Gen-X 80s nostalgia fest "200 Cigarettes" starring a cast so stacked it can only be described as "The Thin Red Line" of broad studio comedies (Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Paul Rudd, Courtney Love, Christina Ricci, and Dave Chappelle just to name a few of the stand-outs in the ensemble). We're once again joined by film professor Macy Todd to discuss campy New Yawk accents, bad screenwriting, and the legendary Gene Shalit, who is still alive!
"New Year's Evil" is streaming on Amazon Prime and "200 Cigarettes" is streaming nowhere because the music royalties ran out, so you might have to get a little creative if you wanna see Kate Hudson covered in shit for 90 minutes.
