It’s Stephen King Sequels Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey go back to the well to revive Stephen King adaptions in the form of sequels!

The Classic Film: Pet Sematary II (1992)
"A teenage boy and his father move to his recently-deceased mother's hometown, where they encounter the ancient Native American cemetery with the power to raise the dead” (IMDb.com). This bonkers sequel is fairly lovable in its weirdness, even if the ending goes a little off the rails.

The Modern Film: It Chapter Two (2019)
"Twenty-seven years after their first encounter with the terrifying Pennywise, the Losers Club have grown up and moved away, until a devastating phone call brings them back” (IMDb.com). Having enjoyed Chapter One in episode 15 of the podcast (or “liked okay” in Kelsey’s case), we were surprised to find that Chapter Two was massively hobbled in what appears to be an attempt to end the story and include every popular ingredient from the first chapter at the same time. Simply put: it does not work.

Plus! Our spoiler-free thoughts on the Netflix adaptation of King and Hill's In the Tall Grass!

080 - Night Of The Lepus (1972) & Beaster Day (2014)

CW: Animal Cruelty

Worst of 2019 - #4 Night of the Lepus

It's Easter on Pod Sematary and that means Chris & Kelsey are talkin' all about killer bunnies! (Oh, and the Pet Sematary remake...)

The Classic Film: Night of the Lepus (1972)
"Giant mutant rabbits terrorize the south-west" (IMDb.com). Thrill as regular-sized bunnies hop around miniature sets and old people act tired!

The Modern Film: Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell (2014)
"A giant bloodthirsty Easter bunny starts viciously killing the local townsfolk. When the Mayor refuses to act and the attacks grow more gruesome, the town finds its very survival in the hands of a wannabe actress and a crazy dog-catcher" (IMDb.com). From the nonexistent siblings that brought such classics as Girl Explores Girl: The Alien Encounter and Lust in Space: The Erotic Witch Project IV comes another movie.
