(pod)Casters of Horror: 'Pick Me Up' (Larry Cohen) Ep. 11
Update: 2024-10-25
Description
"Pick Me Up" isn’t just a great episode of TV, it’s an underrated gem that Bennett and Jim both recommend highly to all genre fans. Michael Moriarty delivers a performance for the ages in Larry Cohen’s final directorial effort, the high-concept thrill ride, 'Pick Me Up.' Moriarty is one of two roving killers who menace a bus full of passengers before trailing our final girl (The Waterboy’s Fairuza Balk).
One killer’s a trucker who picks up passengers before dispatching them. The other’s a drifter who thumbs rides to make his kills. Come for that can’t-miss premise and stay for the inventive kills and one-of-a-kind acting choices.
Created by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Follow along as Bennett and Jim are forced to spend no more than 20 minutes discussing each episode from the first season of the series or face a room full of poisonous gas.
