Ep270: Lifeforce – WGT

Posted on by

Saaaaaaaah, dudes! So remember last week, when like, we went to space? Well, we decided to stay for a week. Lots of tight space type things out here. While we’re here we’re going to discuss another space movie. Isn’t that nice of us? Yes, yes it was. 

Last week was Cthulhu type sex monsters; this week, it’s naked space vampires. That’s right, ya chuckleheads, we’re talkin’ ’bout Lifeforce! (Review starts at 26:52) This movie was made to show how Tobe Hooper could make a movie on par with Alien. It’s uh… it’s something! 

Let’s get weird on some space rocks before we head back to Earth. Next week we head to Japan and get weird as fuuuuuuuuuuck!

Posted on by

tcmThis year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which had its world premiere on October 1st of 1974, in Leatherface’s home state of Texas.
