Casting The Net Episode 197: Fear Street Trilogy [SPOILER SUPREME] 1:45:11

1:45:11

We're finally diving deep into Netflix's Fear Street Trilogy and it is long overdue. Beginning in 1994, we're introduced to the rival towns of Shadyside and Sunnyvale, as a group of high schoolers are being terrorized by ghostly spirits tied the legends of a vengeful witch from the towns' shared history, Sarah Fier. This eventually puts them in contact with a survivor from a camp massacre in 1978 who witnessed a similar attack, with their shared horrors tying back to the origins of Sarah Fier in 1666. We had plenty to talk about when it came to this adaptation of the works of RL Stine, from the music to the fashion, and the surprisingly graphic kills. From start to finish, the team behind these three films did not pull any punches!…

I guess it was only a matter of time before we covered some good old fashioned Japanese splatterpunk on the show, as we discuss Psycho Gothic Lolita this week. Led on a path for revenge by her father, Yuki hunts down an assortment and formidable foes, dispatching them in increasingly absurd and gory fashion, all while dressed to the nines and carrying a handy parasol.…

Gone far too soon, Val Kilmer recently passed away at the age of 65, and we thought it only fitting to cover one of his most underrated performances in the David Mamet-directed film Spartan. After the president's daughter is abducted, military instructor Robert Scott is called in to investigate, leading to a series of events uncovering possible corruption within the Secret Service in addition to stumbling upon an international network of human traffickers.…

We've been threatening to cover the Netflix film Uglies for month, and now it's time to make good. Based on the YA dystopian future novel, Joey King stars in this film where all teenagers get operations on their 16th birthday to look more physically attractive and be elevated to a higher societal status, and not be deemed "ugly". But there are those who choose not to have the operation and live out in the woods away from the cold conformist rule of the city. Thankfully, most of them are already ridiculously attractive even without the benefit of surgical enhancement. Trust me, we get into it with this one!…

Realized we had this one in the archives since last fall, but we're finally putting out our episode on Sophia Coppola's The Bling Ring, a dramatization of the true story of a group of teenagers who decided to break into the homes of a handful of young celebrities, seemingly out of sheer boredom. As you can probably guess, the recommendation to cover this came courtesy of the Adorable Lil' Hypebeast herself, who loves her a good "Be Gay, Do Crime" flick!…

So how does this straight-to-streaming reboot of the Dark Horse Comics character Hellboy measure up against its two previous theatrically released interpretations? I'm joined on the podcast by my good friend and Hellboy fan Will Austin to discuss Hellboy: The Crooked Man, as our favorite demonic paranormal investigator crosses paths with witches and demons in 1950s Appalachia. Teamed with a rookie agent from the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, and a young war veteran, the trio will have to face off against a sinister entity known as The Crooked Man, and make no mistake, he is as creepy as he is crooked . . .…

In the wake of The Matrix, A LOT of virtual reality-themed movies went overlooked in the late 90s/early 2000s, but this week we're talking about one of the strangest which came courtesy of one of Canada's most certified freaks David Cronenberg. eXistenZ takes gaming to a new level, but when its game designer and her security detail are targeted by anti-virtual reality extremists, they'll have to go inside her game to find out the truth behind the attempt on her life. And because it's Cronenberg, there's gonna be a lot of weird stuff with orifices . . . just warning you right now!…

I know some of us out there have been hating this winter season, so allow us to heat things up as we talk about the Netflix original holiday romance film Hot Frosty. Lacey Chabert plays a widowed diner owner who inexplicably transforms a snowman in the center of her town into a living, breathing hunk who just wants to make her life easier. It's certainly something we don't usually see from the Holiday Movie Industrial Complex.…

1:20:40

Too much blood? Or not enough? That's the questions we're asking on this week's episode, as we cover one of the most "2000s" indie genre movies of the year 2000 based on a cult indie comic from the 80s, Faust: Love of the Damned. Contemplating suicide after the murder of his lover, John Jasper's is given the power to exact bloody revenge, and all it will cost him is . . . HIS IMMORTAL SOUL!!!! Make no mistake, even if you think you know what you're gonna get from a movie directed by the guy who produced Re-Animator and a special effects lead named "Screaming Mad George", trust me you have no idea! Definitely don't play this episode, or watch this movie around children!…

When people talk about hidden gems, you really don't get more hidden of a gem than a 1940s supernatural crime noir thriller from 1991, starring Fred Ward, Clancy Brown, David Warner, and Julianne Moore, produced by Gale Anne Hurd, directed by Goldeneye and Casino Royale's Martin Campbell, and we an HBO original movie! This week, we dove deep into Cast A Deadly Spell, as Fred Ward plays private detective Harry P. Lovecraft, who's been hired to find a sacred text known as the Necronomicon. And being one of the few people in the city who doesn't use magic nor is he a supernatural creature, it may just be his toughest case yet.…

After 30 years, Axel Foley as at it again, as Eddie Murphy returns to arguably his most famous role for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. This time Detroit's "finest" must return to the west coast after his daughter is threatened and Billy Rosewood goes missing after they start digging into a drug case. But after all this time, can Axel's old tricks still get the job done? And can Eddie Murphy still bring the funny while balancing the thrills we remember from the earlier entries in the franchise?…

From the director of Dead Alive and Meet The Feebles comes . . . the true crime tale of two teenage girls' burgeoning friendship leading to straight up matricide in 1950s New Zealand? This week, I'm correcting a major blind spot the films directed by Peter Jackson that I've seen, with Clarissa's first recommendation for the show, 1994's Heavenly Creatures. The cinematic debut for both Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey, this is easily one of the most fascinating biopics that I've seen in a while, and definitely one of the most imaginatively shot films of the 90s.…
