Episode 084 - Tourist Trap

What a time to be alive! Here we are in 2020, quarantined up, podcasting from home and dreaming of a day when we can take a random road trip with our friends to check out a roadside tourist trap (the titular type of attraction of this week's film, "Tourist Trap")!

What a time to be alive! Here we are in 2020, quarantined up, podcasting from home and dreaming of a day when we can take a random road trip with our friends to check out a roadside tourist trap (the titular type of attraction of this week’s film, “Tourist Trap”)! Now maybe we won’t encounter a mannequin-hoarding, dead-wife-obsessed, telekinetic psychopath with split personalities… but one can always hope! The time capsule of a movie gave us a lot to enjoy even if there was a ton of incomprehensible nonsense, especially the smile-inducing, indelible lead performance by Chuck Connors. Earning a double “stream,” it definitely reached the level of “background movie” at one of Tim’s imaginary house parties.
