EP 16: Cherry Falls (2000)

May 07, 2017

If every extra was named in the credits, this movie would include “Blurry Asian Kid #1” because our very own Minki Kim stars in this teenage slasher flick...which means he pops up in the background for a split second during a high school fight scene between a boyfriend and girlfriend. Don’t blink if you watch it to find him! But hey, the actress in the scene was Cybill Shepherd’s daughter and he was on set with the late great Brittany Murphy, and that’s pretty cool. So, this episode begins with a discussion about Minki’s brush with Hollywood and how Tracy “FALLS” all of the time. The two get into how this movie (which seems to be influenced by Psycho, Scream, and Prom Night), takes the typical horror trope of “only the virgins survive” and flips it on its head. The premise is promising but given the handful of ridiculous scenes and poor writing decisions, it’s no wonder why this movie was rejected by the MPAA for theatrical release and forced to go straight to VHS/DVD for distribution. In any case, the hosts enjoy talking about awkward sex-seeking teens who do their best to not get hacked up by a mystery murderer in this made up town in Virginia. Grab a cherry blossom lager and join this cherry poppin’ party. And don’t forget to email us and give us a movie recommendation!
