Episode 242: 'Killer Nun' (1979)/'Demonic Toys: Jack Attack' (2023)

Adventures in Movies!

Last year was supposed to be the end of Halloween. It would have been the worst possible way for the celebrated franchise to end, but it was time for it to go away - at least for a lonnnnnng time. Hollywood is never afraid to keep recycling ideas, so we start the show with a talk about the future of the series.

Netflix has been a major player in the streaming wars from the beginning. What few remember and even fewer know is that it got it start as a DVD rental company with a novel idea. As that era ends, we reminisce about the early days of Netflix and the internet in general.

Video Nasties are an important part of horror history. A list of movies that were deemed as obscene and morally irrelevant were soon banned and their distribution became criminal. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the laws relaxed, if ever so slightly.

Killer Nun is an interesting inclusion. There are enough scenes that justify the decision to place it on the list, but it stands our from the rest. Less over the top and gory, the plot is based on true events. The mix of outrageous moments and grounded storytelling gave us plenty to talk about.

Full Moon Features is responsible for some of the most loved and disregarded franchises. One of the most overrated is the Demonic Toys series. We talk the latest addition and wonder what appeal it will have to modern audiences.
