Episode 72 - Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
Welcome back listeners! We have another spooky episode to get you in the Halloween spirit! On this episode of Not A Bomb, we learn that perseverance and being related to one of the hosts will finally get your request moved to the top of the list. Troy’s daughter, Angelica, joins Not A Bomb to discuss one of her favorite spooky films - Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. The Scream Queen herself deserves a giant show and the gang also invites fan-favorite, John, to give us a little bit of history on Horror Hosts and this fascinating sub-genre of film.
Angelica finally gets her moment in the sun to talk about Elvira and her ability to empower women while providing consistent laughs during the film’s runtime. Brad, on the other hand, gets to display his typical “Bradness” and crap all over somebody else’s favorite film while still exuding tons of charm and charisma. The gang discusses everything from boob jokes, temperamental dogs, feminism, the dangers of buffets, Troy’s first date with his wife, and how to pass a class in college without actually attending the class. Ultimately, they decide if Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is a bomb or another cult classic!
Also, while at Baltimore Comic-Con, Troy found an amazing artist. Do yourself a favor and catch out - Jusscope.com.
