Michael Myers is back, babyyy! This week on “Bad Days in Haddonfield” Bryan Dressel, Matt “Zombie Dog” (oops, “Tall Man”) Dykes, Ryan “Dr. Giggles” Looten, and Joel “Clownzilla” DeWitte sit down to discuss “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.” How did Dr. Loomis and good ol’ Mikey survive their last outing? Yes. Now let’s get to the discussion, shall we?

Bad Days in Haddonfield Ep. 3: Halloween III Season of the Witch (1982)
Hi and welcome to the (somewhat late) next exciting episode of Bad Days in Haddonfield, our look back at the Halloween Franchise over the years. Bryan Dressel, Matt “Zombie Dog Ghostface” Dykes, Ryan “Harry Warden” Lootens, and Joel “Grant Grant” DeWitte sit down to talk about the divisive “Halloween III: Season of the Witch,” which features no Michael Myers and has nothing to do with the movies surrounding it. Bonus: the crew breaks into an impromptu performance of “Silver Shamrock” and it goes about as well as you would expect.

Welcome to the next exciting episode of Bad Days in Haddonfield, the Binge Buddies retrospective on the Halloween franchise. Join movie nerds Bryan Dressel, Matt “Zombie Dog Leatherface” Dykes, Ryan “Roman Bridger” Lootens, and NOT Joel “Headless Horseman” DeWitte as they talk about Halloween 2, a film which does something interesting for its time and picks up right where the previous movie left off. Does the rest of the film hold that same level of genius? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out.

Jamie Lee Curtis: Prom Night (1980)
We decided to wrap up our Jamie Lee Curtis retrospective by reviewing the classic horror film Prom Night, the film that has inspired many horror movies since it was released and continues to inspire today. What did we think about it? Well, perhaps we should have watched Terror Train instead? There’s some interesting stuff in Prom Night to be sure, but so much of it is either boring or just doesn’t work or is just plain confusing. We even brought in our pal Matt Dykes to help us work through this thing and he had similar problems.
But hey, if there’s anything we learned from this it is that Jamie Lee Curtis is a cinematic treasure. If nothing else, watch the movie for her…and then watch Terror Train.

Jamie Lee Curtis: Halloween h20 (1998)
We continue our Jamie Lee Curtis retrospective with Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, her celebrated return to both the horror genre and this franchise in particular. We have a lot to say about the film as it’s quite flawed and makes some odd choices throughout. The body count is low, and the mask changes partway through the film into something you might find at a pop up Halloween store. The film introduces Josh Hartnett and his messy hair baggy clothes combo to the world, and we see a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt get a skate to the face. Everything with Jamie Lee Curtis is quite good and she makes a traumatized Laurie Strode believable. Worth watching? Listen to find out.

Jamie Lee Curtis: True Lies (1994)
We’re traveling back in time to 1994 to talk about True Lies, James Cameron’s take on Bond starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and our lady of the month Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s quite the adventure, filled to the brim with action, humor, and fun performances from everyone involved. The only weak link is Tom Arnold, but he manages to hold on to the harrier jet, as it were.
To assist us in our review of such a classic film we invited our pal Matt Dykes onto the show to give us his perspective.

Jamie Lee Curtis: Knives Out (2019)
October has arrived, and we decided it would be a great idea to do a retrospective on the top scream queen herself – Jamie Lee Curtis. We start the month with her most recent turn in the Rian Johnson film Knives Out. It’s a tightly-paced and well-written whodunnit with really fun performances. And even though Jamie Lee Curtis doesn’t have as much screen time as we would have liked, she commands every moment and makes this a great way to start our month.

Episode #281 – Halloween (2018)
This week on the podcast we talk about the sequel to the first Halloween movie, which is also called Halloween. Not confusing in the slightest! There’s a lot to like here, if you can get over the movie doing that annoying thing where it negates all the other sequels. Jamie Lee Curtis is back and in full Sarah Connor mode and guys, it really works. You’ll want to join us for this one.

Episode #273 – A Fish Called Wanda (Mini Episode)
This week it’s a more intimate podcast as Bryan and Chewie talk about A Fish Called Wanda…all from the comfort of their marital bed! The film sports a stellar cast, including John Cleese, Michael Palin, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kevin Kline, who practically steals the show. An overall fun romp, the likes of which don’t get made today.
