JJohnny Spoiler Takes on Personal Parasites, Evil Goo, and the Return of Saturday Morning Cartoons
Johnny Spoiler kicks off with a light-hearted but slightly controversial take on personal relationships, comparing them to "positive parasites." After getting personal, he dives into some home video headlines, including a lawsuit involving the actress who played Tina in Return of the Living Dead.
Johnny also shares his thoughts on Bruce Campbell's upcoming Ash vs Evil Dead cartoon, wishing for the return of Saturday morning cartoons for millennials.
The movie of the week is Prince of Darkness, a 1987 John Carpenter film that blends quantum mechanics, religion, and horror. Johnny breaks down the film's plot, its unique mix of science and supernatural elements, and why it's a "binge later" despite its intriguing premise. He highlights Carpenter's atmospheric style, the movie's memorable effects, and how it stands out in the saturated subgenre of religious horror.
For those interested in tech and comedy, Johnny gives a nod to Silicon Valley, celebrating its 10th anniversary. He reflects on the show's use of the Pied Piper metaphor and shares his disappointment over the departure of the character Ehrlich Bachmann.
