#the stuff
Ten years ago Emmet had the opportunity to interview Larry Cohen, to promote a visit to Australia as part of MonsterFest October 2012. This episode features segments of their conversation, released as a tribute to mark the 4 year* anniversary of Cohen’s passing.
During their conversation, Cohen raises his feelings about the use of CGI effects in horror cinema, how his themes have allowed a new generation of film-fans to rediscover his films, as well as shout outs to Bruce Campbell, Quentin Tarantino, and The Big Lebowski.
Also for no apparent reason Emmet decides to shit on Sydney as a filming location!?
I watched this movie last night and I can’t stop thinking about the fact that the satire sticks to the bones much more than it did in 1985. The concept is this: Someone finds a white liquid coming out of the ground, tastes it, and finds out it’s really delicious. Then it starts being sold in the mass market, becoming a favorite of millions of people. Just one problem: The Stuff is actually a parasitic monster that takes over the bodies of anyone who eats it.
