Peter Jackson's The Frighteners (TPTT Episode 87)
Description
This week we're talking about the 1996 horror-comedy, The Frighteners. We discuss the film's star, Michael J. Fox, and the bizarre but fun supernatural premise about a con man who uses his ability to see and communicate with ghosts to scam people.
Join us as we dive into Peter Jackson's early career, with this frightfully good time that lead to his work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy. We also talk about the film's tonal balance of horror and comedy and its groundbreaking CGI effects that lead us out of the Shire and on the path to mordor just a few years later.
As always, don’t miss out on the Retro Ramble, Stale Popcorn and Gum Under The Seat
If you're a millennial who grew up quoting this movie, or just love a good nostalgic conversation, then this is the podcast for you!
Join us as we take a LIVE trip down memory lane, every Thursday on YouTube!
