It’s St. Patrick's Week on Pod Sematary and Chris & Kelsey drink a leprechaun under the table!

The Classic Film: Leprechaun 2 (1994)

"On his one thousandth birthday, an evil leprechaun selects the descendant of one of his slaves to have as his bride, leaving it up to the girl's boyfriend to save her” (IMDb.com). Oddly the only film in the franchise to actually take place on St. Patrick's Day, this sequel isn't good enough to deserve following the first installment, a film we didn't even like that much in the first place.

The Modern Film: Muck (2015)

"After narrowly escaping an ancient burial ground, a group of friends find themselves trapped between two evils, forcing them to fight, die, or go back the way they came” (Steve Wolsh). A story with no beginning and no end (and not all that much in between, now that we come to it), this movie was just an expensive excuse to film some Playboy models in their underwear admiring themselves in a mirror. Featuring Friday the 13th's Kane Hodder as... Grawesome Crutal? No, that can't be right.
