For reasons discussed in this episodes preamble, Happy Death Day was a movie that fell off of my short list pretty quickly, falling into the flotsam of the cinema slush pile, most likely never to be heard from again.  Mr. Bean however, who is much less adversarial with movies with a modern disposition, caught it recently and suggested it would indeed be a movie worth doing on the show.  Essentially, if you've listened before, this meant he thought I too would enjoy it, and I'm happy to say I did!  (Not out of any sense of obligation to the film itself, or even the crew that worked on it...but who wants the experience of a bad movie???)

While not a bloodbath, or even a particularly horrific movie, Happy Death Day succeeds in being a fun time jumping movie that uses the gimmick from the classic comedy Groundhog's Day in a lightly Hitchcockian (in spirit, if not execution) murder mystery featuring an excellent young lead in Jessica Rothe and a cast of heretofore genre unknowns in a subtly dark comedy that I found satisfying.

We hope you enjoy the episode, and look forward to hearing what you thought of the film.

Cheers!
