Ep 26 - Student Bodies

Crackpot Cinema: Ep #26 —“Student Bodies” (1981) Craft your horsehead bookends, watch out for gum on the steps, and DON’T drink Malvert’s prom punch! Crackpot Cinema is here to salute writer-director Mickey Rose’s bombastically brilliant slasher spoof, STUDENT BODIES! Jenny Nixon of The Museum of Home Video busts out her finest paperclips and chalky erasers to join Mike and Aaron in discussing all things in the uproarious orbit of this first, best, and of funniest of ’80s horror parodies. Among our topics: • Richard Belzer as Richard Brando as The Breather! • Richard Belzer as Richard Belzer in CAFÉ FLESH! • MTV’s Martha Quinn misconstrued as Prince Valiant in a Plum Sweater! • Woody Allen convulsing over somebody talking through a rubber chicken! • Why STRIPES should have been rated “J” — as in, “Light a J!” • How choosy moms may choose Jif, but Cool Moms rent you FACES OF DEATH from Madman’s Video Vault! • The kid who claimed, “STUDENT BODIES was so gross, it made a dog puke!” — and then Jenny’s dog proves it!
