Episodes

Bent Wookiee Ep. 23: The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 29.06.2023 18:20

A savage, revisionist take on zombie lore that's a perfect example of horror-comedy done right.

Bent Wookiee Ep. 22: The Silent Partner (1978) 31.05.2023 23:49

With a screenplay as intricate as a Swiss watch, The Silent Partner is one of the greatest (and most underrated) thrillers of the 1970's. https://www.nickkarner.com/post/the-silent-partner-1978

Bent Wookiee Ep. 21: The Boogey Man (1980) 29.04.2023 13:16

A combination of autobiography, folklore, and fantastical elements set in the most mundane of locales results in a film with limited means that's almost elegant in its uncomplicated approach to a very disturbing story.

Bent Wookiee: Ep. 20 ParaNorman (2012) 30.03.2023 11:51

Ghoulishly-realized and imbued with an obvious love of horror, ParaNorman is a macabre and poignant cry for acceptance and a rebuke of bullying.

Bent Wookiee - Ep. 19 - Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985) 28.02.2023 27:21

Cheesy. Ludicrous. Offensive. These three adjectives can be applied to practically any action film of the 1980's, but Remo Williams deserves a special place amongst the glut of whiz-bang pyrotechnic wonders Hollywood produced at the time.

Bent Wookiee Ep. 18 - The Stepfather (1987) 25.01.2023 29:00

A fine horror-thriller featuring a towering performance by Terry O'Quinn. Full Review: https://www.nickkarner.com/post/the-stepfather-1987

Bent Wookiee Ep. 17 - Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (1964) 24.12.2022 19:25

Attention URTH-lings! The greatest of all bad Christmas movies gets the Bent Wookiee treatment!

Bent Wookiee Ep. 16 - Blood Rage (1987) 24.11.2022 23:16

Watch out for that cranberry sauce! Happy Turkey Day! Here's a demented and rare Thanksgiving-themed horror comin' at ya during the last vestiges of the 80s slasher boom.

Bent Wookiee Ep. 15 - Every Children of the Corn Movie (1984-2018) 30.10.2022 26:07

I watched the entire Children of the Corn series for you. You're welcome.

Bent Wookiee Ep. 14 - Bill and Coo (1948) 23.09.2022 16:11

AN ALL-BIRD CAST?! This month, we cover a genuine, bonafide oddity that somehow survived for over 70 years. Winner of a special Oscar, Bill and Coo spins a simple tale of love and bravery. The only difference is...everyone's a bird!!!

Bent Wookiee Ep. 13 - Venom (1981) 31.08.2022 15:42

A highly underrated thriller with a fantastic premise. A trio of would-be kidnappers not only have the police to worry about, but also one very pissed-off snake. www.nickkarner.com YouTube Mini-Review https://youtu.be/FbtvlhMEsNg

Bent Wookiee Ep. 12 - A Goofy Movie 31.07.2022 20:31

One of the most underrated animated Disney films ever.

Bent Wookiee Ep. 11 - Raw Deal (1986) 30.06.2022 11:44

Mid-tier Schwarzenegger fare that finds Ah-nuld attempting to infiltrate the Chicago mob.

Bent Wookiee Ep. 10 - The Spook Who Sat by the Door 01.06.2022 18:25

A smart, exciting, and sadly underseen gem filled with daring satire and incendiary wit. Twitter: https://twitter.com/nickkarner Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bent.wookiee/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bentwook Official YT Page link: https://www.youtube.com/c/BentWookiee

Bent Wookiee Ep. 9 - Lost Horizon (1973) 30.04.2022 29:05

This month, I explore the infamous Ross Hunter-produced Lost Horizon. A would-be epic musical that failed on an epic scale.

Bent Wookiee Ep. 8 - Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker 01.04.2022 26:21

AKA Night Warning (what the hell is a night warning?), this nasty little flick features a great asshole turn by Bo Svenson and a phenomenal performance by Susan Tyrrell. A highly underseen and underrated horror gem.
