EPISODE 194: Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! We are back in the world of Leprechaun as we venture to the bright lights of Vegas to see what shenanigans that Leppy boy has in store this time with 1995's LEPRECHAUN 3. Hailed as the best of the franchise, does it really deserve that moniker, or is it again, just another forgettable horror sequel?  @OfficialJoeyC  is back AGAIN to join us on this wa...

Looking back at the first month of Season 3 and looking forward to what March 2025 has in store of us here at Dissect That Film!

Burt I. Gordon was a savant when it came to giant animal attack movies, bringing live animals on a massive scale to the screen in ways not seen in Hollywood. In 1957 he directed the GIANT locust movie BEGINNING OF THE END with legendary actor Peter Graves, bringing forth what he could do in this genre. We look back at this now almost 70 year old movie wondering if it still brings the magic, or if...

In 1976, 2 giant gorilla movies hit the big screens. One being the giant ape we know and love KING KONG, and the other being one from a U.S./South Korean production called APE or A.P.E. or Big Horn...nevermind. With one having a high production value and some solid leading actors, this one was not that at all. But, the question is, was this a solid rip-off? Or does it belong in the "forget this ev...
