    Totally Recalled: Episode 47 - Leprechaun 2

    Hey there, Cracking Cryptids and Curios fans. Matt and Angel here to let you know that if you made it to the end of Cracking Cryptids and are still yearning for our special kind of humor, continue to listen to us on Totally Recalled, our show where a movie may or may not be recalled totally from memory. Just go search for Totally Recalled on whatever platform you listen to podcasts on and catch up on like 80 hours of content. So here is our two year anniversary episode on Leprechaun 2. Enjoy! ---- Remember Leprechaun 2? Join Matt and Angel in this very special 2 year, 2 month anniversary episode! The whole show started with Leprechaun, and now we celebrate everything with the biggest 2,2,2 event ever! 2 Years, 2 months, Leprechaun 2.  In this episode find out what our favorite, least favorite, and most disappointing movies we have covered so far are!  Following that, we discuss the insane back of the box quote that states this movie is better than the original. Eventually we even discuss what would happen if Zach Morris from Saved By the Bell was in this movie and used his time-stopping powers to talk to the audience. Really, there is no other place in this universe where these things have ever been talked about in relation to Leprechaun 2. Likely they will never be repeated by a human ever again. Seriously, there is a whole conversation about David Copperfield living in the tree the Irish gifted Harry Houdini and how that could relate to the movie. These conversations are not healthy.
