Sometimes things in cinema history, as in art and in politics and in life, don't repeat but they rhyme. A good question to posit now: is the new HALLOWEEN, which we have to distinguish between the other *two* films out there in the past forty years named that (perhaps they got scared off by adding names after Halloween after two particular dud entries in 95 and 2002 that we shall not name here - though we may get to it on this podcast), rhyming from the John Carpenter original? What made Carpenter's so excellent that it stuck out for people? How does it hold up?
In this episode, Jack and Korey look at the major inspiration - what David Gordon Green and Danny McBride have said is a direct sequel to the first movie - and the results of taking Jamie Lee Curtis and making her a ... bad-ass? Sure, why not?
