We actually designed a lot of T-shirts for this at the time. One of our biggest sellers was one called, "Do Ya Wanna Pardy." https://www.cafepress.com/profile/204085

Just watched this full reaction. I hope you watched the post credit sequence. Also, if you dig this, you .ight want to continue with EVIL DEAD. Also, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD is a comedic classic. Be great to squeeze that out before this year's Jloween.

Tbc, I love this movie and I think its funny the villain shares my name. It just seems like an oddly specific choice (in a film where EVERY name is a reference) and his name gets repeated a lot, especially as he descends into a Carpenteresque blob. Some ahole exec maybe? Maybe its nothing. (Of course I would note this more than most people.) Thanks for the reply and the info!

He was my head guardian in Destiny 2 until they killed him last year.

Awesome callback with the Toxic Avenger being watched. James Gunn's first writing credit was Tromeo And Juliet for Troma films (who also made Toxic Avenger) a, in my opinion, highly superior movie to this (And his brother, Sean, has some great scenes in Tromeo.). But great to see the mention of his roots. I'll never get the love for Nathan Fillion. I've never liked him it anything I've seen him in. I just don't get his appeal.

What I remember about when he wrote it was that he said it took a year and a half from when he started writing to the film's release. He said the production moved along quickly. I don't think he has any issues with anyone named Grant. I started working with him when SLiTHER came out on DVD. It was also at a time he was thinking about leaving the industry. The movie didn't do well at the box office. He was married to Jenna at the time and she pushed him to make SUPER which changed the trajectory of his career.

So James Gunn is your buddy? Cool! Any idea if when he wrote Slither...was he angry at someone named Grant? I ask because Grant Grant is nearly the *only* character named "Grant" in cinema history, and he's not a flattering character. (And its my name too. 🤗)

James Gunn also appeared in the movie towards the beginning, he was talking to Elizabeth Banks outside the school when Yondu first made an appearance.

This was my pick everyone!! My Halloween present to all. :) Brother J, I am so happy you enjoyed this one. Slither is my jam! Def my type of horror film. This film helped propel James Gunn and lead him to eventually do Guardians of the Galaxy. He is a very good director. I too love Nathan Fillion, I am currently binging The Rookie which he stars in. It's so good! You should really try to check out Elizabeth Banks' directorial debut film Cocaine Bear (2023). It's a lot of fun.
