Description
After a summer of legendary audio issues, Bree and friend of the show Frederick Blichert cap off the season with a playful romp through a home viewing favourite (“favourite” might be generous for Bree), Urban Legend. The movie obviously apes Scream every chance it gets, which might make it the ultimate movie through which to explore the context of late 90’s blockbusters. In the fun of figuring out exactly what about this movie doesn’t work – when in fact there’s a bit about it that does work – we also look at what sets it apart from the horror movies it was trying so hard to imitate, and how its themes fits into the 2020’s era of misinformation. Also, lots of love for Brad Douriff and Loretta Devine.
