A hard working businessman recently finally finished his townhouse renovations only to find that he’s not the only one who moved in. What starts as a simple game of cat and mouse turns into obsession. Quentin, Roger, and Matthew discuss how their opinions on the film have changed over the years, the connections to other films like Shock to the System and American Psycho, and the theories on just who the invader truly is.
Then, over on Patreon, the guys continue the conversation. Second on today’s billing — we’ve got a third world hitman gone berserk! Quentin, Roger, and Matthew pull the apartheid-sploitation Funeral for An Assassin off the shelves. Starring Vic Morrow, the guys discuss how they discovered this film from trailers on another tape, the muscularity of the directing, and which side this movie is really on. And, to bring it all together, we’ve got a Canucksploitation sex comedy that will have you begging for special treatment.
