Welcome to the Horror Project Podcast. Join hosts Laura and Phil as they review Lake Placid (1999).

This was a first time watch for both us, and it wildly swerved every expectation that we may have had going into it. (We've only waited 25 years to check it out).

With an incredibly strong cast delivering performances which left us scratching our heads, Brendan Gleeson we are looking at you!?! With an odd accent which travels from Dublin to Maine, plus everywhere in-between.

We also discuss Betty White’s disregard for her own cattle and the CGI / animatronic hybrid which creates the giant killer Crocodile. We couldn’t help but compare it to the dinosaur’s featured in Jurassic Park which was released only 6 years earlier. 

Plus we shall be finding a place on the leaderboard for the movie during our Ranking.

We hope you enjoy the show, thanks for listening!

We've always loved Julian Sands, and were saddened to hear of his disappearance and the revelation of his passing in 2023. To celebrate his life and career, we discuss a personal favorite, along with a pair of campier entries that, if nothing else, are fun to laugh about.

What happens when a warlock escapes the clutches of death, travels through a portal three centuries into the future, to locate three parts of The Grand Grimoire to undo creation? Well, you'd better believe that a determined witch-hunter follows to try to stop him! Julian Sands is Warlock (1989)!

Not into warlocks and all that stuff? Well, how about Julian Sands as an infuriatingly meek surgeon who opportunistically uses a hit-and-run accident to imprison, and physically alter,  the woman of his dreams? Probably not a particularly healthy thing to do. It's a story of obsession and possession, with some questionable acting. But hey, if Boxing Helena (1993) is a match for your fetish, you do you.

And then from there, if you thought that the acting in Boxing Helena was bad, get ready for some of the most remarkably poor acting you have ever seen from a complete cast. Thankfully, Julian Sands returns as the warlock, the one marginal bright spot. Though it probably would have helped if these actors had some decent dialogue to work with. However, as it stands, Warlock: The Armageddon (1993) is probably best used as a device to torture your enemies.

The coming of the Eclipse marks the end of our "Spooky Penis Season" but as the runes need collected, the druids gather the sparkly Disney juice, and a Sands is born. Yeah, that's right! We're covering one of the late Julian Sands seminal roles as the eponymous WARLOCK! As a trilogy of films, Julian Sands plays the WARLOCK in the first two movies, alongside Richard E. Grant in the original Steve Miner film and Chris Young in the Anthony Hickox sequel. This is the film that we're uncovering this time, in WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON! And we brought a friend, Tighe, ready to speak over "the rudest that ever troubled daylight!" in the most congratulatory and nostalgic episode in a long while. It's a shame that not only is Julian no longer with us but within this month, Anthony, the Director, is sadly no longer with us. Rest in Peace Kings!

A Friday the 13th has landed in October, so Matt and Garret thought there was no better time than to rank the movies in the Friday the 13th franchise! Also, it's our 666th episode. No joke.

It's another bonus Friday the 13th episode, and this time we're in 3D! Scotty is once again joined by Stanley, of Stanny Boy Reviews and The Gory Gays podcast. Together, they take a trip to Higgins Haven next to Crystal Lake as they discuss "Friday the 13th, Part 3D"! They also talk about movies Stanley has seen lately, as well as his new podcast with his partner, Alex. And stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear Andrew join Scotty to announce what he chose for their next movie!

"Friday the 13th, Part 3D" is once again directed by Steve Miner. Picking up directly after the events of Part 2, it finds Jason Voorhees once again killing off people near Crystal Lake, as well as donning his iconic hockey mask for the first time!

⛸ "This summer, terror won't be taking a vacation" or so they say with Halloween H2O, which was oddly released at the beginning of August 1998, which marks this week as the film's 25th anniversary. Of course, we at The Cherry Picker like to celebrate Halloween 365 days of the year, so now is just as good a time as ever to revisit this nostalgic little darling. In this episode, we really deconstruct every aspect of Jamie Lee Curtis's initial triumphant return as Laurie Strode, where we talk about everything from the film's extremely flawed production, the 90s Scream influence, and why this is the arguably the best version of Laurie Strode. And as always, you should also stick around til the end so you can help us choose which character you think deserves to die the most.

What’s better than watching Betty White curse out a bunch of cops? We can’t think of much — other than getting the chance to gush about it for an hour and a half. And we knew that if we were going to do that, we had to bring in the experts. So we invited Out on the Lanai, the first Golden Girls podcast, to join us on a new Spooky Tuesday as we covered Lake Placid (1999). Half a creature feature and half a Bill Pullman rom-com, this flick features Bridget Fonda mid-breakup spiral as she drags her butt out to the boonies of Maine to flirt with lady cops, banter with eccentric billionaires, and hunt for prehistoric monsters. Whether you’re comparing it to The Meg or to Nope or to Ally McBeal, there’s no denying that this movie makes for one golden time with the girls.

Follow Out on the Lanai on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Check out their new episodes weekly on Apple and Spotify.

You can find Kerri Doherty on Instagram and Twitter, and H. Alan Scott on Instagram as himself and as Sadie Pines.

With the unfortunate passing of Julian Sands, we wanted to honor this incredible and magnetic actor by releasing a special Patreon episode where we covered 1989's WARLOCK with the film's #1 fan and Returning Champion Megan Sunday (Let’s Get Weirding podcast)! Along the way, we dig into the film's hostile attitude toward cats, stay on the lookout for a Steve Miner Butt Shot, learn to use a purse like a Dutch Oven, and generally lust after the hotness that is Julian Sands!! All this, plus we examine the Warlock's complicated relationship to windows, Megan opens up about the kinds of smut she enjoys reading, and Patrick finally explains what the Santa Ana winds are to Gena!! We've conjured a good one out of the Patreon vault for you today!!

On a special bonus Friday the 13th episode, Scotty is once again joined by Stanley of Stanny Boy Reviews. Together, they take a trip back to Crystal Lake as they discuss the logistics and kills of "Friday the 13th, Part 2". Scotty also talks to Stanley about their favorite entries in the "Friday the 13th" series.

"Friday the 13th, Part 2" was directed by Steve Miner and stars Amy Steel. In the sequel to the surprise 1980 hit, a new group of camp counselors returns to the Camp Crystal Lake vicinity 5 years after the events of the first movie, only to be terrorized by the son of Pamela Voorhees.

House. Tea or coffee? Sit by the fire. Join Donovan and Rick to a picturesque table-side chat where they discuss if this film has more than just a few monsters in the closet.

"The prettiest sight in this fine, pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges."

The Next Reel’s Speakeasy is an ongoing series of ours in which we invite an industry guest to join us and bring along one of their favorite movies to talk about. In this month’s episode, director Steve Miner joins us to talk about one of his favorites, George Cukor’s 1940 film The Philadelphia Story.

We talk about the nature of this story and how it’s so much more than a screwball comedy, which is how it’s often billed. We look at how Katharine Hepburn was intrinsic in getting both the original play and this film made, what it meant for her career at the time and how well it holds up today (despite one potentially nasty depiction of abuse). We discuss Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart and how well they work together in this story. We look at what director George Cukor brings to the table, finding the right ways to bring the script to life. We talk about the nature of the media and paparazzi and how things really haven’t changed all that much. And we look at how the film did not just in the box office and during Awards season, but more importantly how it’s really proven that it can stand the test of time.

It’s a marvelous film, one that’s well worth watching. We had a great time talking about it with Steve and hearing his perspective on why it’s one of his favorites. So check out the movie then tune in!
