Bad Movie Night

Joe Piscopo left Saturday Night Live in 1984, a move that paid off in spades 4 years later with Dead Heat. The movie set box office records for movies called Dead Heat, destroying the previous 1926 record holder and since deflecting a 2002 Kiefer Sutherland movie that forgot to come out in theaters. It also outgrossed his friend Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop II from the previous year by negative 150 million dollars.



Roger Ebert said of The Hidden, "The movie was directed by Jack Sholder, whose last film was "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2." I don't know what I was expecting, but certainly not this original and efficient thriller."

Turns out it's an actually good movie from the guy who made the worst Elm Street movie, a movie we watched on Inadvertently Gay Bad Movie Night.

The weirdest thing about The Hidden is that Kyle MacLachlan plays an FBI agent with supernatural leanings pretty much making this the prequel to Twin Peaks. It also has Bill Haverchuck's mom, Claudia Christian, as a stripper. A job she alluded to having on Freaks and Geeks. Therefore proving my long held belief that Freaks and Geeks and Peaks inhabit the same universe and that the Giant is Bill's absent father:


It is happening again, buttpatter.
