Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996, 1997) is the greatest cinematic crime against both Ireland and outer space! Starring Warwick Davis (with a great performance), the Leprechaun somehow manages to be the only serious character in this muddled mess of a movie.
All that being said, this film does give us the first appearance of the green light saber! Move over, Yoda... Here comes Lubdan the Leprechaun!
In this episode, we continue following our favorite Leprechaun as he continues what will now be direct-to-video adventures. In Leprechaun 3 (1995), he makes a stop in Las Vegas, where he loses one of his gold shillings and spends the movie punishing those who make selfish wishes!
Also, please note, the beginning of the episode's introduction is lost to history. But don't worry, we promise the show is about Leprechaun 3!
Ready for more green-tinted mayhem? Grab a bottle of Irish whiskey (not Canadian!) and join us as we take an up-close look at Leprechaun 2 (1994), where the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) returns dead set on taking a bride!
"She sneezes once, she sneezes twice, she'll be me bride when she sneezes thrice!"
Serving as a soft reboot of the series after the disastrous Leprechaun: Origins (accidently released in 2014), Leprechaun Returns (2018) finds Linden Porco taking over the role of the leprechaun.
Ignoring all the previous sequels, Returns is a direct sequel to the 1993 film. Regarding the plot, we see the daughter of Tory Redding (Jennifer Aniston's original role) encounter the leprechaun as she works with her new sorority sisters to remodel the farmhouse from the original movie. We also see Mark Holton return to the role of Ozzie Jones!
"Try as they will, and try as they might, who steals me gold won't live through the night!"
What better way to get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit than starting a new series: the Leprechaun movies featuring Warwick Davis!
Starting with the original (Leprechaun, 1993), this film is also significant as one of Jennifer Aniston's first roles, a role she may or may not be proud of. Either way, we're confident that her and Warwick remain f.r.i.e.n.d.s.
Based on the failed Superman musical, It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman! (1975) is one of the oddest forgotten relics in Superman history. A made for TV special, the musical was doomed from the start, airing (only once) at 11:30pm EST.
Thankfully, at least one person recorded it and we found it. Come join us as we reflect on yet another identity crisis in the DC Universe!
Ever wondered what happens when Superman (George Reeves) swaps his cape for a sales pitch or Uncle Sam?
In this obscure 1954 short film, Stamp Day for Superman, Superman busts a burglar who is basically just a guy who didn't have a budget, and Lois Lane gets snagged by his accomplice (who literally just asks her to come get captured, to which she obliges).
The moral of the story? Kids should support our country by buying US Savings Stamps!
Time for some Shaq-Fu! Well, not actually.
Today we re-visit Steel (1997), which sees Shaquille O'Neal portray a not-so-super supporting character from the Superman universe. Unfortunately, this movie completely ignores any Superman connection (other than Shaq's real life tattoo).
Ultimately, this movie had an identity crisis, which perhaps shouldn't surprise us considering it was a DC property. A PG-13 movie with a script that could have been written for Nickelodeon, Steel was no Space Jam, opening to $870k its first weekend in theaters.
"This looks like a job for . . . Superman!"
Before George Reeves became an iconic Superman, gracing the silver screen and fighting for the rights of mole people, two serials were produced by Columbia pictures.
Today we look at the second serial, which originally ran as 15 weekly chapters before a feature film. Starring Kirk Alyn as Supes, we see Luther (Lyle Talbot) blackmail the city of Metropolis as he threatens to nuke the city with the help of Atom Man (who wears a glittery stormtrooper helmet before stormtroopers existed!).
Picture this: It's 1988, the height of the slasher era, and a seemingly innocent Good Guy doll - freckle faced, red haired, sweet voice - becomes the vessel for one of the most ruthless serial killers ever. Merry Christmas, Andy! Enjoy your new toy!
"Hi, I'm Chucky...wanna play?"
Directed by Tom Holland (not Spider-man!) and featuring the incredible voice work of Brad Dourif, Child's Play (1988) spawned one of the more enduring franchises in horror movie history!
