Season 9 Episode 5: Dreamcatcher
Description
How can the guy who wrote The Empire Strikes Back go on to direct this unmitigated disaster of a cinematic abortion?? I'm still in denial. Blame it on drugs, maybe? The drugs that Stephen King was on while recovering from multiple surgeries after being hit by a distracted motorist while he was out for a walk. The novel he eventually churned out, Dreamcatcher, should have credited Oxycontin as co-author. It was sort of kooky, but in a King style. The movie version, courtesy of Lawrence Kasdan, is a whole different kind of horrible. Sitting through it is only marginally preferable to being eaten by a Wampa. Dreamcatcher is such a nightmare even Freddy Krueger can't stand it. But please....by all means, give it a look! Listen to my podcast as I lavish everything but praise upon it. It's almost too bad to resist.
