Don't Point That Horror At Me Don't Point That Horror At Me

Becky and Jill are feeling sleepy and delving into the world of Sinclair Smith's Dream Date (1993). Katie's bored and a bit boring, and all she wants is to find some excitement at her new school. Plus preferably a cute boyfriend to sweep her off her feet. But what Katie doesn't realise is that dreams really do come true and greasy biker boy Heath is here to turn her life into a nightmare. Will Katie escape Heath's coersive control and find true love with classmate Jason? Will bestie Raquelle ever wear a bad outfit? Will Bopper the aged bassett hound make it out of the book alive? In the second part of this two-part episode, we find out!
Plus nineties film fun with Becky's Box Office.
Listen to Part One of this two-part episode first.
FYI it gets a bit sweary so even though Point Horror books are suitable for younger readers, our podcast might not be.

Becky and Jill have time-traveled back to the year when Ziggy Stardust hung up his platforms and Sergeant Howie kept his inevitable date with The Wicker Man, to investigate Pamela Sykes' memorably unsettling novel COME BACK LUCY (1973).
In 1978, an award-winning TV show based on the book came out, and it has just been released on DVD. We recorded a special episode of our podcast to appear as a special feature, and here you can hear a snippet of that chat.
The DVD of Come Back Lucy (1978) is on sale now https://networkonair.com/popular-products/3469-come-back-lucy-the-complete-series

Jill and Becky join Joanna and her boyfriend (?) Dex in R.L. Stine's 1992 classic The Boyfriend. Joanna is a priviledged young lady with her pick of the lads and Dex just isn't cutting it for her. But is dying the best thing he can do for their relationship or will Shep still come out on top? We dive deep into zombie love, pranks and bestie rivalry with this quintessential Stine Point Horror.
Plus all the usual nineties fun with Lipgloss Jill’s Nostalgic Number Ones and Becky’s Box Office.
