About this episode
This week we take a step back to 1984 for a movie that couldn't possibly be anymore 80's if it tried. It's Thom Eberhardt's Night of the Comet starring Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney. Through shit luck two Valley Girl sisters miss out on the once-in-a-lifetime passing of a comet what's tail bathes the earth in deadly cosmic radiation, reducing people out in the open to nothing more than a pile of red dust and those who stayed in under less than ideal conditions to monstrous cannibals. A think tank of scientists, hidden in an underground base, are looking for a cure to the condition but at what cost? It's at one time a fun teen horror comedy and a movie that tries to get a couple of young women to tangle with the reality of being the last living people on earth and while it doesn't always land in one piece, it's a tremendously fun piece of cult. Dave loves this movie tremendously and makes a case for it being an unexpected piece of feminist horror and Bryan, never really taking it too seriously in the past comes out the other side a believer. Together, we both hate the movie's ending with a furious passion. Let us tell you all about it!
