So I Married an Axe Murderer
Listen now
Description
Back in ’93, or Before Shrek, we call it, BS for short, we were treated to a soft entry into the spooky dark comedy basement with So I Married an Axe Murderer. This flick was directed by Thomas Schlamme and features Mike Myers as the star character, but includes some familiar faces in bit-roles throughout. As the title suggests, Myers finds himself in a relationship with a woman he begins to suspect may be a murderer, and then we watch the comedic outlay of that. Also, he’s a beat poet, so, you know, poems… This flick did not make any money at all. However, it did secure a cult following afterwards. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent try to figure out if axe murderers have to use axes and if beat poets deserve beatings as we decide if this flick should get married or murdered.
