The Movie Lovers: The Official Podcast of The Gibson Review

Episode 158: The Week in Review

Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985)

This episode is once again horror themed episode where I am joined again by Jonny Long, a visual artist and filmmaker, to discuss and dissect possibly one of the queerest horrors ever, Nightmare on Elm Street2: Freddy Revenge.

The film is the second installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise  and features  antagonistic figurehead Freddy Kruger, a malevolent spirit of a child killer who usually plagues and kills people in their dream. His signature burnt face, red and green stripe jumper and trademark metal-clawed, brown leather glove has become the symbol for 80s horror.

A film very characteristic of this golden decade horror, but not just in its horror but also in the setting of the high school and the subsequent stereotypical high-school dynamics, depicting teenagers as high highly sexualized. Yet simultaneously inadvertently or maybe not so inadvertently as we will discover, Freddy’s Revenge is a very gay film, with a copious examples of examples not so subtle subtext, touching upon anxieties present in the time of release in 1985 in the backdrop of the AIDS crisis and a Republican conservative America

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 6/6/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Non-violent conversation! 

Teenage campers explore a collapsed tower in the woods containing the rotting corpse of a killer. When one of them takes a locket off the body, its vengeful spirit is resurrected and summarily rips through all of them to reclaim it. IN A VIOLENT NATURE is an arthouse slasher throwback from the killer's POV and we talk with lead ensemble actors Ry Barrett & Andrea Pavlovic. 

A motherless newborn, a diary, an old assault and the Russian Mafia all play parts in EASTERN PROMISES, in which a man becomes enmeshed in a complicated and dangerous chain of events. We sit down with actor Viggo Mortensen (director/star/composer of THE DEAD DON'T HURT) and director David Cronenberg.  

Plus, "Screen Scene" movie reviews (in theaters, if not specified) including YOUNG WOMAN AND THE SEA; THE DEAD DON'T HURT; IN A VIOLENT NATURE [also on Shudder 6/14]; THE GREAT LILLIAN HALL [Max]; JIM HENSON: IDEA MAN [Disney+]; SOLO; KUNG FU PANDA 4 [4K][Universal Home Entertainment]; BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE [Paramount Home Video]; THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAGICAL NEGROES [Universal Home Entertainment] and COMMON LAW WIFE & JENNIE, WIFE/CHILD [Film Masters].

THE SYSTEM FUCKED BACK.

414. Inner Tube Attitude & the Wetfuss - JAWS 2 (1978)

[Intro – Spoken, distorted voice]
Came in on four paws… left with the town in flames.
You thought it was just a cat?
Think again, meat puppet.

[Verse 1]
Midnight bell, the sky turns red,
Something wicked’s crawling through your flowerbed.
Slick black fur and a nuclear glare,
She purrs in static, glitching the air.

Mirror melts, the clocks unwind,
Streetlights twitch like they’ve lost their minds.
She walks on graves with a voodoo sway,
Reality bends when she wants to play.

[Chorus]
Black Cat Overdrive, claws in your brain,
Twisting your world like a runaway train.
Neon eyes, nine lives to burn,
She’s god now, baby — it’s her turn.
Black Cat Overdrive, fate in her grin,
She’ll unmake your town from the outside in.

[Verse 2]
Children hum in reverse on swings,
The mayor’s howling, chewing on rings.
She rides a drone made of butchered dreams,
Painting the sky with infernal beams.

Churches crawl, the trees wear masks,
Time’s a joke and she’s up to the task.
Milk turns black, the sun don’t rise,
The postman’s limbs are multiplying.

[Chorus]
Black Cat Overdrive, claws in your brain,
Twisting your world like a runaway train.
Neon eyes, nine lives to burn,
She’s god now, baby — it’s her turn.
Black Cat Overdrive, fate in her grin,
She’ll unmake your town from the outside in.

[Bridge – Whisper-growled, layered voices]
She whispered to the static...
“Let them meow before they scream.”
A tail like a blade,
She purred — and split the dream.

[Breakdown – heavy groove, robotic chant]
BLACK CAT — (Glitch the frame)
BLACK CAT — (Erase your name)
BLACK CAT — (Tear the veil)
BLACK CAT — (Begin the tale)

[Final Chorus – shouted with gang vocals]
Black Cat Overdrive, claws in your brain,
Twisting your world like a runaway train.
Neon eyes, nine lives to burn,
She’s god now, baby — it’s her turn.
Black Cat Overdrive, she’s in your skin,
She don’t want worship — just let her in.

[Outro – fading]
Paws on pavement, thunder cracks,
She left with nothing…
But she’ll be back.

BLACK CAT OVERDRIVE
