Episode 207: There's Nothing Out There...Except Nix Eclips

The primary audience for horror movies has been told to laugh at itself once ⁠Kevin Williamson⁠ penned "Scream" in 1996. But as ⁠L7⁠ wrote four years prior, "The Masses are Asses". Horror nerds were being treated to this message since the founding of ⁠Troma Films⁠, but never so directly as in the ⁠Rolfe Kanefsky⁠ horror comedy, "⁠There's Nothing Out There⁠".

⁠Nix Eclips from the "Cinema Shitshow" podcast⁠ suggested that ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ give the 1991 film a watch. He felt it had that vibe of "Scream". Our host would disagree with that since the film's hero is essentially the Jamie Kennedy character from the Wes Craven feature. It is more along the lines of "Final Girls" or "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon". We have a lead who knows this is a horror movie, but will anyone else believe him. The boom mic "Gymkata" suggests they should, but the feature needs a body count.

Aside from splitting hairs in regards to what "There's Nothing Out There" is trying to be, this episode is a first time meeting of two podcasters. We find out about Nix's experience in entertainment and his surprise on how wrestling and podcasting has taken ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ on a tour as far west as Rolla, MO, as far north as Milwaukee, WI, as far east as Jacksonville, FL, and as far south as New Orleans, LA. Give it a listen if you want to hear about similar trauma caused by PG Eddie Murphy cinema. There will be tangents, so prepare yourself.
