Movie Meltdown - Episode 645

This episode we’re coming to you “live” from WonderFest as we hang out and talk about movies, toys, models and eventually a bonus, full horror club discussion of Fear Street: Prom Queen directed by Matt Palmer. 

And while we determine the specifics of how you know you are in the 80s, we also bring up… Godzilla Minus One, Midnight Mass, Summer of 69, Empire of the Dark, Demon City, Chris Klein, using profanity, hugging Tiffany, Stuck in the Middle, everyone's a suspect, the kills, Space: 1999, comedies that should be traumatic but are just fun, monsters called up from hell and murderous ninja assassins, the dance off, time-appropriate clothes and hair and make-up, being attacked by angels, a satanic cult from another dimension, the bloody crown, a dude wearing a scrunchie, changing the mascot, trying to open the door, Mike Flanagan, there was a lot of sword fighting going on and where’s the street?!

Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for “Fear Street: Prom Queen” so go watch the movie before you listen. 

“If I have to tell somebody that this movie’s taking place in the 80s - then you are not doing the 80s correctly.”
