Join friends, Jake and Madison, as they discuss films! After every episode there is a film prescription for listeners to watch then come back the next week for the chat! Through rants and banter about many different types of films, Jake and Madison hope to give positive therapy to listeners!
Session 67: We'll Have Our Revenge - Deathstalker 2
You ever just feel in the mood for a campy, over-sexualized fantasy movie, politically correct for its time? Well, this is the one for you! In this 1987 sequel to the original Deathstalker, a princess's clone takes her place and she and Deathstalker must battle the evil wizard to restore the good princess to power. It's a mix of comedy and action, akin to Conan the Barbarian and even more than the first Deathstalker.
*SPOILER ALERT* We recap and discuss this movie in full. So, if you haven't seen it and don't want to know how it ends, we recommend watching it before listening to this podcast.
