Dive into an offbeat discussion about Warwick Davis and his unforgettable roles, from the iconic leprechaun battling gangsters in Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood to the magical world of Willow. We explore the quirks of his monster leprechaun character, his humorously exaggerated persona in HBO's Life’s Too Short, and even a bootlegged sequel to Willow. Along the way, we reminisce about St. Patrick's Day traditions, question Ireland’s snake-free status, and reflect on how pinching classmates for not wearing green might be considered assault today. It’s a sarcastic, witty journey through nostalgia, green shirts, and Warwick Davis’s eclectic career.

What happens when a reality producer from The Real World hits you up on LinkedIn at midnight? I share the unpredictable chaos, including a pitch for a parody show that goes off the rails. Plus, we explore the latest home video headlines: ghost reality shows gone wrong, Vikings drama Bloodaxe, and the new Neuromancer adaptation.

In the spirit of the full moon, we dive into werewolf movie lore:

• The overlooked Spanish Wolfman, Paul Naschy
• A triple feature of The Howling franchise highlights
• The wild new werewolf flick Werewolves (2024) featuring practical effects, Frank Grillo, and Lou Diamond Phillips

And yes, I’ll let you know why Gladiator 2 might not be worth your Paramount Plus subscription—but hey, it’s your $9! Join me for all this and more in a vlog packed with humor, entertainment, and some serious werewolf nostalgia.

Welcome back to the show where romance gets roasted, movies are rated, and the tangents fly faster than Jeff Goldblum in a red leather jacket. Here’s what’s cooking this episode:

• Romance, Ruined: Johnny Spoiler admits he’s a romantic who doesn’t believe in romance. Confused? So is he. But he’s happy to break it down with terms like "micromancing" (tiny gestures over grand ones) and "DMWs" (dating with Johnny in the middle, because why not?).
• Male Archetypes: Ever wondered if you’re a "sex pig" or a "toxic turkey"? Johnny doesn’t hold back on playful commentary about male casting in real life and pop culture.
• Buffy’s Back: Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to reprise her iconic role in aBuffy the Vampire Slayer reboot on Hulu. Cue the nostalgia!
• Headlines and Movie Trivia: From Dave Franco to Peter Dinklage, a road trip comedy calledThe S**heads is already stirring up title trouble (looking at you, MPAA). Plus, Johnny dives into the indie gemBetween the Lines, a 70s flick about scrappy journalists and life’s inevitable changes.

Binge-Worthy or Not?
Johnny rates Between the Lines as a "binge later." It’s got heart, but its smooth jazz pacing might make you sleepy unless you’re in the mood for something mellow.

Listener Shoutouts:
Fan "Nexfyful" chimes in withDemolition Man as a top pick, but does it hit Johnny’s sweet spot? Listen to find out.

We kick things off with a cold open and a dash of humor before diving into the heart of the show. We discuss the long-form content that often turns into non sequiturs, followed by the latest home video headlines, including Netflix's upcoming animated series In Case of Emergency set in a British hospital and the surprising renewal of Billy the Kid for its third and final season.

Moving on to our main feature, we explore Jason Lives (Friday the 13th Part 6), where Tommy Jarvis unwittingly resurrects Jason Voorhees while trying to cremate his remains. With recurring themes and characters, we touch on the film's influence, notable trivia, and why this installment stands out in the franchise. Highlights include the director’s clever nods to other horror films and the unique kills that make you actually care about the characters.

Additionally, we react to They Live, a John Carpenter classic, discussing its themes of artificial consciousness and subliminal messaging in the context of our current media landscape.

Lastly, I introduce my rating system: Binge Now, Binge Later, and Binge Never. Spoiler alert: Jason Lives gets a solid Binge Now from me!
