Episode 164: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge" (1985)

1 hour 3 minutes

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

This week on the show Ryan and David are digging into "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge" from 1985. We’re back in Springwood for one of the most talked about and debated entries in the franchise. David feels that die-hard Freddy fans might not enjoy this one as much since it plays more like a haunted house movie than a true Nightmare on Elm Street flick, but we’re breaking it all down.

We also watched and discuss "Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street" where actor Mark Patton shares his story of being a closeted gay man while starring in Freddy’s Revenge, a film he began to suspect had more than a little homoerotic subtext.

Radical Ones, is this the gayest Freddy of them all? We’re also introduced to one of the calmest, most no-emotion final girls ever, Lisa, and we wonder how she managed to keep it together while facing Freddy. So grab your school bus pass and your leather jacket because it’s time to get radical and face Freddy all over again!

"Jesse Walsh moves with his family into the home of the lone survivor from a series of attacks by dream-stalking monster, Freddy Krueger. There, he is bedeviled by nightmares and inexplicably violent impulses."

Stars: Mark Patton, Kim Myers, Robert Rusler and Clu Gulager.
