GBW #27: Resistance is Futile (Slither / The Faculty / Night of the Creeps)

<p>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!</p> <p>This week, Chris and Ryan dive into alien assimilation films; most specifically of the "slug" variety, and even more specifically, all three films more or less have the same skeleton plot. We start with 2006's "<strong>Slither</strong>," <strong>James Gunn</strong>'s goopy, gross-out horror-comedy that cemented early on that he has a skill for treating something like a complete lark and then disarming you with the human element. Then, Chris and Ryan have a slight disagreement about the placement of the next two films. Listen to the episode to find out, but the next films in question are cult favorites "<strong>The Faculty</strong>" - the <strong>Robert Rodriguez</strong>/<strong>Kevin WIlliamson</strong> joint from 1998 that homages '50s B-Movies while having that "hip" postmodern feel - and "<strong>Night of the Creeps</strong>," <strong>Fred Dekker</strong>'s beloved 1986 oddity that too homages '50s B-Movies, albeit much more directly.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can find this and future episodes on our website&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegoodbadwhat.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thegoodbadwhat.com</a>.
