Episode 113: The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

A live action heap of fun! This week, Peaches and Michael get trashy in celebration of 1987’s THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE ! In addition to discussing this contested cult classic’s place as a prime piece of gateway grossness, our hosts ruminate on the popular trading card series that inspired its creation. Joining the conversation is legendary film programmer and critic Jesse Hawthorne Ficks , who recounts his own storied history of bringing these refuse-laden tykes to midnight movie audiences. Then, iconic horror host John Dimes (aka Dr. Sarcofiguy ) stops by to shed some light on why his love for the puerile antics of the titular characters endures, despite a much-maligned history. From toe-munching gators to frothy projectile vomit, this episode has it all! Go!
