154: Valentine's Day Movies Actually: My Bloody Valentine (1981) - feat. Patrick Ripoll
The second Valentine's Day Movies Actually episode takes a strong left turn from the warm and fuzzy feels of the Garry Marshall ensemble rom-com they covered a couple years ago. This time, Kerry and Collin are joined by their resident slasher movie expert, Patrick Ripoll, to discuss the 1981 cult classic, "My Bloody Valentine" (later remade in 2009). What makes this particular masked killer so distinct from the likes of Jason, Freddy, Michael, Ricky, Chucky, et al? Why was there never a sequel to this film when there was clearly a lot that could be done with it? How does the remake hold up against the original? They get into all of these issues after Patrick and Collin talk about the coincidental movie project they both happen to be working on separately. Also, the latest and greatest in physical media with the Blu-ray Gift Exchange.
Listen to Patrick Ripoll on 96 Greers and follow his Hitchcock project throughout the year on Director's Club.
