The Forsaken (2001) feat. Paul Etheredge
Episode 123
Protect your wallets from suspicious drifters because we're ending April with a boring, unsexy vampire road trip movie: J.S. Cardone'sThe Forsaken! Joining us for this torturous venture is Hellbent director Paul Etheredge!
Join us as we try to determine whether the film is unintentionally homoerotic or just plain bro-y. We'll delve into Simon Rex's '90s porn career, discuss some of our own porn preferences and discuss the heavy vampirism-as-AIDS metaphor the film incorporates.
A discussion of The Forsaken can't be had without discussing kinda-sorta lead actress Izabella Miko and how the film mishandles her character. She's nude in her introductory scene, has maybe five lines of dialogue and isn't given a name until the end credits. Yay, feminism!
Plus, title card titties, Johnathon Schaech giving a performance, new (terrible) vampire lore, waitresses who are really concerned about the coffee bill and just how many times can these characters run out of gas? Spoiler alert: a lot.
