info_outlineAnd we're back!
What, did we just record two shows in one week? Did we just become best friends? That's right dear listeners, it is the shockingly early return of High and Low Brow. Since we needed to re-record our last episode, we decided to get the jump on this episode and record both episodes back-to-back-to-back-to ... I think I lost track there.
This fun little episode is brought to you by James' guilt, as he somehow has never seen the film Killer Klowns from Outer Space. So, in a shameless attempt at rectifying that, we dcided we'd go with the theme of Aliens for this episode of High & Low Brow. As you know we always have a theme for each episode, and review two movies. So our other film is the far less known Progeny. Now Killer Klowns from Outer Space has a cult pedigree but Progeny has a pedigree of its own. Written and produced by Stuart Gordon and Directed by Brian Yuzna, you have the creative team of Re-Animator behind the film. As if that isn't enough, yuou've also got Wilford Brimley and and Brad Dourif in supporting roles. That's a veritable bonanza for genre film fans. So it makes you wonder why has no one heard of this aliend abduction film?
Thankfully, you have High & Low Brow to do the dirty work for you. Thankfully, we enjoy this kind of "work".
