Still Watching the Skies: Episode 126 Still Watching the Skies: Episode 126 "Mr. Stitch"

Still Watching the Skies

I think we all consider ourselves fans of Rutger Hauer which lead Cody, Robert, and Nat to 1995's MR. STITCH by Roger Avary. Given what we've heard about this movie, I think it's fair to say that the cast and crew of Mr. STITCH aren't fans any longer. Nevertheless, we try to give MR. STITCH a fair shake and will even grant there are some good ideas here that maybe could have come to fruition in different circumstances. Time tracks: 0:00:00 - MR. STITCH Discussion 1:11:38- Next Movie and Outro

Nat, Cody, and Robert are joined by Angela Fabbrini to take a look at three movies that didn't really set up sequels, but they made them anyways, with PSYCHO II, HOWLING II: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF, and POLTERGEIST II: THE OTHER SIDE. Second time's the charm? Finally, we get to a sequel to one of the biggest horror hits of the 1980s with POLTERGEIST II: THE OTHER SIDE. Tellingly, neither Tobe Hooper or Steven Spielberg are back. But, the cast returns. And it made real money in 1986. So we delve into POLTERGEIST II, talk about Craig T. Nelson getting more to do, what works, and what doesn't...
