Episode 213: Filmmakers Jenn Wexler & Sean Redlitz and Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1978)

Scarred For Life

Spoilers time tags: 3:04 - 7:30 where we spoil one of the big moments in the movie.

On this special Christmas episode, we're incredibly excited to chat with Jenn Wexler and Sean Redlitz, the filmmakers behind the new Christmas horror film The Sacrifice Game, currently streaming on Shudder! We chat about the inspiration for The Sacrifice Game, demonic summoning (Terry has an epiphany) and dig into their horror histories before exploring an apparent Canadian classic. Jenn brought with her Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1978) a fever dream of a movie based on a book series by the amazingly named Mordecai Richler. Slime Squads, monstrous humans, Child Power!, musical numbers, the prison industrial complex...this movie has it all. It's not readily available in the states, but there is a copy on YouTube if you want to experience the lunacy and see for yourself why this movie has lingered in Jenn's brain for decades.
