Top o the mornin to ya and welcome back to another episode of the only podcast that is reliving the trauma of youth. This week we have a treasure for you and you don’t need to follow the magic rainbow to capture it. We have it here for you, at no charge. This week, Gabe is here to share a deep trauma from his younger days and the boys are ready to examine the horror/comedy(?) film Leprechaun. In this weird, uniquely 90s film, we get to see Warwick Davis doing an insane job and bringing a ridiculous amount of life to a character that really doesn’t need it. Listen as Andy and Gabe rewatch this movie and comment on how many times Warwick is forced to hide and jump out of random places. Honestly, it’s WILD! But shockingly, not as wild as the acting choice of Mark Holton, who plays Ozzie Jones. Let’s just say, you can’t make an acting decision like this anymore. Come for the pot of gold, but stay for Jennifer Aniston’s original nose!
