Prom Night 1980 (w/ Janel Schermerhorn) redux
About this episode
The episode explores the 1980 slasher film PROM NIGHT with guest Janel Schermerhorn, discussing its themes, characters, and a wild fan theory.
Thank Jason we're taking a quick break from our FRIDAY THE 13th franchise revisit and getting our boogie on! That's right, it’s 1980s PROM NIGHT, and everything is alright! Kinda. We're digging into this singular Canuxploitation slasher classic starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Nielsen, and “the oldest teenagers since Grease.” And our date for the special episode? Why its Janel Schermerhorn, the very woman Patrick took to his own senior prom! Oh, and the truth comes out!! Along the way, we wait in vain for the eventual disco-pocalypse, discuss why a dead body would be retrieved by a rope truck, dig into the reason why every Canadian couple wants to have sex in a locker room, propose a Prom Night/9-to-5 crossover, and bear witness to “man-on-van combat.” We also delve into a wild Prom Night fan theory to begin and end them all! Plus, a Promposal in the form of Choose Your Own Death-venture. Make memories with this special episode that will last a lifetime. Or at least feel like one.
