BLINDSPOTS EPISODE 17: FREAKED, LIFEFORCE & DEAD ALIVE
Film Inquiry presents Blindspots with Jake and Kristy. In this new podcast series, Film Inquiry staff members and fast friends Jake Tropila and Kristy Strouse will each recommend a film they like that the other person has not seen. They will then watch the other person’s selection and come together to discuss their thoughts and reactions to both films. For those who seek hidden gems and new findings in the world of cinema, this is the podcast for you.
Hey, all you freaks, zombies, and sexy space vampires: the party’s over! On this episode of the podcast, Jake and Kristy revisit some of the more gruesome films that were a formative part of their childhood years. Up first is 1993’s Freaked, the twisted brainchild of Alex Winter that become a part of the regular viewing rotation in Kristy’s household. Then, it’s on to Jake’s recommendation with 1985’s Lifeforce, the Cannon Films-produced, Dan O’Bannon-penned, Tobe Hooper-directed intergalactic horror apocalypse. Not content with stopping there, the podcast hosts break format to gush over a film they love: Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive, the ultimate film in zombie horror-comedy carnage. All that and more on an all-new Blindspots!
Music in this episode is from openings of the films Freaked and Lifeforce.
