"I'm your biggest fan." - No movie, I'm YOUR biggest fan.
Kat has returned and as promised in our last episode together we're going back to Stephen King's Misery (1990)
Paul Sheldon is the very successful author of the acclaimed period romance novels - the 'Misery' series. He's grown tired and dejected with the series and so in his latest book (which is about to publish) kills off the titular Misery Chastain to write a brand new book, something that means more to him. He finishes the manuscript but as he drives back to New York he has an accident on the road. He's saved by his biggest fan Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) who's elated to have her favourite author staying with her...but what's sweet Annie's reaction when she reads his latest book?
So grab a pencil to write in all the 'n's, take a trip down memory lane and make sure the penguin is facing south as we wait eagerly for the latest installment of Misery (1990)

All life begins with a single cell.
Aboard an International Space Station the crew eagerly awaits the return of a pod which was sent to Mars. Among the soil samples they find a single cell, dormant but with the proper atmosphere they coax it back and thus life is born. David (Jake Gyllenhaal) can't imagine going back to Earth after being in space for over 1000 days. Rory (Ryan Reynolds) and the rest of the crew get comfortable in their success as Kalvin (the previously single-celled organism) continues to grow. But an accident at the lab puts them, the ship and the whole planet at risk when Kalvin grows beyond the bounds of its pen.
So layer up on Firewalls, breath deep as the oxygen gets thinner and say 'Goodnight moon' as we marvel at the wonders of Life (2017)

"They're under the ground Burt...they're under the God-damn ground!!"
We did it! At long last we get to one of my all time favourite Creature-Features and I get to share it with Dylan as we watch - Tremors (1990)
Valentine (Kevin Bacon) and Earl are the 'do-it-all' handymen of the middle-of-nowhere town, Perfection. Times have been tough and it all comes to a head when they realise they've hit rock bottom. In a spur of the minute decision they pack up and get ready to make it big in the city. Only problem is they've made the decision just one day too late as something is coming for the town. An accident blocks the only road out and before long it becomes evidently clear that they've got a real puzzler of a problem coming their way.
So be as quiet as you can, go check on the generator and thank the lord they don't fly as we shake, rattle and roll to a series of unstable Tremors (1990)

"GET BACK YOU EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS!!!"
Bronwyn is back this week to help me re-live a movie I've not watched in over a decade - Eight Legged Freaks (2002)
Chris (David Arquette) is returning to his hometown, his Father having tragically passed away and leaving him the owner of the town's mine. Sam the town's Sheriff, and as a single mother, is working hard at keeping her neighbours and her kids in order - her son of which has made friends with the town outcast. Joshua runs a spider-farm on the outskirts of Prosperity and has made fast friends with the eager Mike (Sam's son) and shares with him the drastic growth of his spiders thanks to some unusually sized crickets from the local lake. Little do they know that toxic waste has spilled into said lake and the spiders are only going to continue to grow until the town itself become the deadly arachnids' hunting grounds.
So get ready....no seriously - Get Ready!, hop on your dirt bikes and keep the taser handy as we peel back the webbed cocoon of Eight Legged Freaks (2002)

We all need a friend.
We're back in the 80's this week as I get to show JP a movie they've had on their list for a while - Pin (1988)
Leon and Ursula grew up in quite a strict home. Their Mother was obsessed with keeping things clean and their Father, well, they had to earn his love. As such Leon became increasingly lonely, right up until the moment he made friends with his Father's anatomy doll - Pin. Years passed, tragedy ensued and soon Leon had set Pin up with his own room and a place at the dining table. Ursula knows there's something wrong with her brother...but is there? Or is there something more to the Pin doll?
So bring a box of chocolates, ask Pin for help with your calculus and read aloud from your poetry as we learn our anatomy with Pin (1988)

It's all fun and games until the glowsticks are covered in blood.
Anje joins me again and this time they wanted to show me Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)
Sophie and her girlfriend Bee are in the beginnings of their relationship when they decide to attend a 'hurricane party' at Sophie's oldest friend's house. Tensions are high right from the get-go as several of her friends never expected Sophie to show never mind to bring a date. Drinks are had, glowsticks are snapped and champagne is opened as the storm rolls in...that's when they decide to play Bodies Bodies Bodies - only it isn't too long before the bodies start hitting the floor.
So let's giggle and slap, rummage through the boardgame cupboard for our hidden stash and cut a slice of zucchini bread as we play Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)
