SSP Cult Classics 7 - Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

D.K's Cult Classics Episode 7 - "I'm just a mean, green mother from outer space. And I'm bad!" Welcome audience. D.K is back with another long (but fun) deep dive into a cult classic movie & more. This episode things are getting musical as we're heading downtown to Skid Row. But look, what's that strange and interesting plant in the corner of a shop window? That's right, we're turning our sights to 1986's 'Little Shop of Horrors'. D.K is joined by usual co-host Mike, semi-regular returnee Sandy Eavenson and brand new first-time guest and fellow uber-geek Allison Rentz. They'll be hitting on entrepreneur playground bootleggers, inspiring both Disney & the Joker, hoarding old garbage cans, singing to a slowed-down track, eating the Press, alternate endings, animated spin-offs, whether it holds up, tolerance for SNL skits in your musicals, the music itself, the direction from Muppets/Yoda legend Frank Oz, possible overindulgence, uncomfortable tropes, Corman and Broadway roots, Family Guy homages and more! But first it's the return of the semi-regular Cult Classics Quiz! Mike has again gathered 30 sets of lyrics from movie musicals that he'll read with no inflection or musicality, challenging the three contestants to identify the film and song. That's right, you may recognise it from our 'Chicago' review, it's the return of "Once More, Without Feeling". But this time there is an extra twist as Mike is forced by peer pressure and lacking recognition to attempt to do some actual singing. We can only apologise. Play along or just see who wins the day. The quiz is from 19 mins in to 50 mins if you'd like to skip straight to it, or indeed skip past it in favour of a pure 'Little Shop' review. So watch out for any total eclipse of the sun, steer clear of florists and dentists and just sit back and enjoy this weeeeeeeiiiird podcast.
