   Animal Room (1995) (The Cult Of...Matthew Lillard)

   On today's episode of The Cult Of... Matthew Lillard, we are heading down to the basement and we're going to get in a fight with hot gothic Matthew Lillard as we delve into this strange little movie from 1995, Animal Room!!! This movie is like if A Clockwork Orange was set in a high school in NJ, but you know, maybe not as good. This movie has it all!! Carnival on a pier! Catherine Hicks! Slightly naked Matthew Lillard! The Misfits? This is also an interesting movie to cover right before Scream because Matthew gets to be the big baddie in this one, so check it out on Vimeo and then come back and listen to the episode :) Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram (http://www.instagram.com/cultcinemacircle), Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/cultcinemacircle.bsky.social), and Letterboxd (http://www.letterboxd.com/jessekremp) Hosted on Acast.
