Twin Picks: FROGS x SLUGS


Listen Later

It’s about that time…the time…for SLIME… Comparing two swampy creature features, Noah and Eliza wonder if there are some animals that simply are not scary enough to power a horror movie. Juan Piquer Simon’s 1988 movie SLUGS sics millions of black, writhing, gooey gastropods on a small town of hilariously hateful and rude characters, resulting in some gnarly SFX moments and sexual subtext. But 1972’s FROGS doesn’t have nearly enough critters!! It’s got Sam Elliott and an interesting bayou mansion setting, but not enough actual webbed-hands-around-throats action :(

Which film is the scariest and the squishiest? Do these movies actually make us care more about the environment or just wanna stomp it to death? How did Noah overcome his childhood leech fear ? All good questions but u won’t get answers today, we’re talking about other frog and slug stuff you couldn’t possibly comprehend. U can listen in and try though. ribbit.

SHOW NOTES:

TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC:

  • Noah’s critter movie recommendations: The Bay , Long Weekend, Tremors
  • Eliza’s assorted shrieking frog memes (sorry I could not find the actual amazing clip in question of one chill frog and one loser frog battling one another maybe it was a dream who knows): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM-GEnvlkRM + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaLTeyPFP_0&list=PLxCZu_T6u7IYWUsagWNHr7kWGe8O9kFrf&index=378 + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV5o1E8NPMQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV5o1E8NPMQ)
