It's a bad night to be a nurse in Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II. Sean discusses urban myths, gore in films and the lighting chosen for this film.He discusses Jaws and Jaws 2 way too much for a review about Halloween II and rates the film as "good as it could have been", given how the original Halloween, like Jaws, was like lightning in a bottle-impossible to recapture.

October 11, 2021 John Carpenter's Halloween (1978)
In this review of John Carpenter and Debra Hill's Halloween, Sean praises the realism of the film, leading to asides about being over-cheery in the morning and crediting your audience by giving them intelligent writing. Sean also learns a valuable lesson, if you are going to review a film, remember to make notes regardless of how engrossing the film is. Thanks for listening!

October 11, 2021 Starship Troopers (1997)
In this review of Starship Troopers, Sean battles not against Arachnids, but against background noise. He mixes up the name of a character (again) partway through the podcast, forgetting that the name is Diz not Dix/Dixy. On a positive note, he thinks that the 1997 CGI is cracking and holds up well, and draws some historical parallels with the society present in the film. Sean then forgets the ending of the film, which clearly wasn't particularly memorable. Thanks for listening!
