- Examine the strategic use of release dates, like 6/6/06 for 'The Omen', as powerful horror marketing tools.

- Discuss the ethical and parental responsibilities highlighted in the genetic engineering horror of 'Splice'.
This week on Weekly Spooky, we delve deep into the annals of horror history, focusing on a particularly potent period from June 1st to 7th. Our journey through "This Week in Horror History" uncovers tales of domestic terror, chilling sequels, and the darker side of scientific ambition. Host Enrique Kuto guides us through a selection of films that explore the unsettling nature of supposed safe spaces and the societal constructs we rely on. Our horror history analysis kicks off with the surprisingly potent legacy sequel, Psycho II. This film masterfully revisits Norman Bates and the infamous Bates Motel, proving that a beloved villain can be humanized while still delivering thrills. We then descend into the suburban nightmare of Poltergeist, a film that transformed the idyllic American dream house into a terrifying supernatural trap. Its iconic imagery and exploration of domestic vulnerability solidify its place as a genre classic. The episode also revisits the chilling marketing phenomenon of The Omen remake, strategically released on 6/6/06, capitalizing on its Antichrist themes to create a cultural moment. Shifting to modern franchise power, we examine The Purge, the groundbreaking film that launched a mega-hit series with its provocative premise: a twelve-hour period where all crime is legal. This concept offers a stark look at societal control and its potential breakdown. Our Deep-Cut Spotlight shines on Splice, a disturbing 2010 sci-fi horror film that confronts the ethical quagmire of genetic engineering. The film probes parental failure and the profound consequences of creating life without embracing responsibility, serving as a cautionary tale about scientific hubris. Beyond these features, we celebrate the birthdays of horror icons like Danielle Harris, Keith David, Robert Englund, and Jessica Tandy, acknowledging their indelible contributions to the genre. The episode thoughtfully concludes with a thematic analysis, exploring how these diverse horror narratives collectively comment on control, family dynamics, the illusion of suburban safety, and the fragility of civilization itself. When our safe havens are invaded or our societal rules suspended, horror finds its most potent form. For those seeking more visceral scares, our weekly recommendation is Sean Byrne’s viciously entertaining prom-night horror film, The Loved Ones. This film is a masterclass in blending dark humor with unsettling themes of rejection and obsession. Join us for this comprehensive horror history analysis, where we explore how the genre continues to reflect and refract our deepest anxieties.

1
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:07.599
June arrives with sunshine, cookouts, school letting out, and horror
2
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:12.759
crawling out from under the suburban lawn. This week, the
3
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.719
scary stuff gets domestic. A motel reopens, a little girl
4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:23.199
talks to the television, a cursed child gets the perfect
5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:27.839
release date, and one night a year, the neighbors become
6
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.119
monsters because the law says they can so close the blinds,
7
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.520
check the TV static, and if someone says everything is safe,
8
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:55.719
ask who benefits from you believing that? Welcome back to
9
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.039
this week in horror history. Your weekly time is Ma
10
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:05.760
Sheen through the creepiest anniversaries in film, TV, books, and games.
11
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.599
I'm your host, Enrique Kuto, and tonight we're talking about
12
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:17.200
June first through June seventh. Coming up, Norman Bates comes home,
13
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:23.719
Suburbia discovers the mortgage can come with ghosts attached, The
14
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:29.719
Antichrist gets a release date, nobody forgets, and Blumhouse asks
15
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.400
what happens when violence becomes a civic holiday. Then, right
16
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.319
after the break, our deep cut spotlight shines on genetic engineering,
17
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.519
parental failure, and the moment curiosity stops being science and
18
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:57.959
becomes sin. June third, nineteen eighty three. Psycho two hits
19
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:04.959
theaters and on this shouldn't work. You're following Alfred Hitchcock,
20
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.400
bringing Norman Bates back after twenty three years and asking
21
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.360
the audience to return to the motel, the fruit seller
22
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.800
and the mother shaped shadow hanging over everything. But somehow
23
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.800
Psycho two becomes one of Horror's great Wait, this is
24
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.120
actually good sequels, and I really do stand by that.
25
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.599
Anthony Perkins makes Norman painfully human, a man trying to
26
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.680
build a normal life while everyone around him treats sanity
27
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.479
like a temporary costume. I'm happy to say that time
28
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.080
has been very, very kind to Psycho two. It's a
29
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.840
film that delivers in pretty much every way while not
30
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.360
being a total copy of the original Psycho. Anthony Perkins
31
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.840
is on point. The greenplay by Tom Holland, a man
32
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.400
who would go on to direct both Child's Play and
33
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.000
Fright Night, among many other films, checks all the right boxes,
34
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.199
and then Richard Franklin's direction does the job well while
35
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:18.919
not constantly trying to recreate Hitchcock, because who really can.
36
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.199
And it was a hit. It made about thirty four
37
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.159
point seven million dollars at the box office on a
38
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:31.000
reported five million dollar budget. If you've never given Psycho
39
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.960
To a chance because you felt like there was no
40
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.000
way it could live up to the original, and that
41
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.680
is a fair concern, you really should give it a watch.
42
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.800
And if you've seen it and felt like you were
43
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:47.159
underwhelmed originally, a revisit is just what you need. It's
44
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.719
currently streaming on Prime Video included with your subscription, or
45
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.639
to rent or buy on Prime Video, Apple TV, and
46
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:05.639
Fandango at Home. June fourth, nineteen eighty two, Poltergeist arrives
47
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.800
in theaters and the safest place in America suddenly looks
48
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.399
like a very well appointed trap. It isn't a rotting mansion.
49
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.040
It's a nice family house with toys, snacks, television, and
50
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:30.519
bedtime routines. Then the TV talks back, the closet becomes
51
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.199
the mouth, a tree becomes a predator. The swimming pool
52
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.319
becomes a grave. Someone built a normal life on top
53
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.879
of something buried, then acted shocked when the ground had
54
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.759
a memory. Poltergeist has every right to be a classic.
55
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.720
Not only was it produced by the legendary Steven Spielberg,
56
00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.199
but it was directed by Toby Hooper from Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
57
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.519
There are a lot of people who try to claim
58
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.519
Toby didn't actually direct the film, and I think it's scurless.
59
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.319
I really think Toby did direct Poltergeist. I think Steven
60
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.720
Spielberg had a lot of input, and from everything I've
61
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.199
ever heard about Toby Hooper, he loved to collaborate and
62
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.279
he was always open to suggestions, So I think that
63
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.759
it was just simply a solid collaboration that made a
64
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.000
monster hit. In fact, it made about one hundred and
65
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.439
twenty one point seven million dollars worldwide on roughly ten
66
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.959
point seven million dollars in budget, a major hit and
67
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.360
one of the defining supernatural horror films of the nineteen eighties.
68
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.439
So if you need to meet Captain Howdy for the
69
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.480
first time, or just want to catch up for old
70
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.399
time's sake, Poltergeist is available to watch right now on
71
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.920
MGM Plus with a subscription, and of course you can
72
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.639
rent or buy it on Prime Video, Apple TV, and
73
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:06.560
Fandango at home. June sixth, two thousand and six, the
74
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.079
Omen remake opens. That's right, that's on six six six.
75
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:17.120
Because sometimes the marketing department gets handed a gift from
76
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:22.360
Time itself. A remake of The Omen centered on Damien,
77
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:27.120
the child who may very well be the Antichrist, arriving
78
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.800
on the calendar's most obvious number of the beast. Gag.
79
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.959
This is the studio kind of whispering to each other.
80
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.000
Come on, you know you want to. The film is
81
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.680
a slicker two thousand's version of the nineteen seventy six
82
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:47.360
classic with Leave Schreiber, Julia Stiles, and Mia Farrow. And
83
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.680
it's a perfectly formidable remake. I mean it often played
84
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.199
with your expectations and awareness of the original movie, which
85
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.920
that alone really helped make the film stand out. That
86
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:04.199
and a very intense scene involving in embolism. Man, I
87
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.319
still think about that one. But the real hook here,
88
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.360
the reason it is horror history is because of the
89
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:16.399
release date. Horror loves symbols, and this one turned a
90
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.759
Tuesday release into an event. And I was there, my spookies.
91
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.360
I was there at the drive in movie theater the
92
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.639
Dixie Twin in Dayton, Ohio, seeing the Omen remake on
93
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:34.120
sixt' six o six, proudly ready to watch it. And
94
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.879
it really did pay off, because about one hundred and
95
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.079
twenty million dollars was brought in worldwide on a reported
96
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.920
twenty five million dollar budget, so whether you want to
97
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.480
revisit it or watch it for the first time. I
98
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:52.399
have often said two thousands horror films are aging pretty well,
99
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.360
so it's probably worth checking out. It's available to rent
100
00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:04.040
or buy on Apple, TV, Fandango at Home, and Prime Video.
101
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.600
June seventh, twenty thirteen, The Purge opens in United States
102
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:17.639
theaters and turns one sentence into a franchise machine. For
103
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:24.800
twelve hours, all crime, including murder, is legal. That premise
104
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.560
hits before the film even begins. It's got home invasion, dystopia,
105
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.600
political and social satire, and it's all squeezed into one
106
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:41.480
very blunt nightmare, a rich family, a bloody night and
107
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.840
the ugly question of who gets to feel safe when
108
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:51.840
society takes the mask off literally and figuratively. This was
109
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:57.159
a shockingly simple but brilliant concept that led to a
110
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.120
huge franchise with I think we're at five total Purge
111
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.519
films and two seasons of a TV series, a TV
112
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.840
series that was highly underrated. By the way, I do
113
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.759
really recommend checking that out, especially if you want to
114
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.080
understand the Purge world a little bit more. The TV
115
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:19.759
series dives deep into the dystopia and the realities Commercially,
116
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.000
it was a rocket ship made around ninety one million
117
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.679
dollars worldwide on a reported three million dollar budget. That
118
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.639
is Blumhouse math at its most terrifying. So if you're
119
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.879
ready for another Purge night, you know, to spice up
120
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.879
a date night or what have you. It's available to
121
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.559
rent or buy on Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and
122
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:54.000
Apple TV. This summer football season starts early last fall.
123
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.360
Eddie Peewee Richter became a Strickfield legend when he helped
124
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:02.600
take down a seven foot nightmare in a double zero jersey,
125
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:08.480
a monster everyone now calls the Demon. But now it's
126
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.840
June Camp. Redfeather has been turned into a college football
127
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:17.440
training camp. The heat is rising and pressure is building.
128
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.639
Peewee is waking up screaming from nightmares of the night
129
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:27.799
that Greg Branlake stopped being human. Only this time it
130
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:32.399
isn't just a nightmare. The Demon is back, and he's
131
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:38.200
stronger and crueler, and he has unfinished business with everyone
132
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.440
who stood on that field when Strickfield High won the championship.
133
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:47.720
Teammates are being hunted, bodies are dropping, and Peewee just
134
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:52.360
learned the terrifying truth. This may have all started with
135
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:57.120
a cursed jersey and a dead rival who never truly
136
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:01.120
left the game. Tomorrow Wednesday is the beginning of our
137
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.159
summer mini series titled Summer of the Demon, a brutal,
138
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:13.120
fast moving, strickfield nightmare packed with football camp terror, demonic revenge,
139
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.759
and the kind of monster you can never outrun. Part
140
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:26.879
one kicks off tomorrow, so make sure you're subscribed. All right, spookies,
141
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:31.080
Time for a quick breather. But when we come back,
142
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.559
we're going into our deep cut spotlight, heading back to
143
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.879
twenty ten. It's about brilliant scientists who create something impossible,
144
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.639
then realize the real monster might be what they're willing
145
00:11:46.720 --> 00:12:05.720
to excuse because they made it. And we're back, so
146
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.440
let's get into it. Come along, spookyes. On June fourth,
147
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:17.720
twenty ten, Splice opens in wide release and gives the
148
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:24.679
week its strangest and stickiest nightmare. Adrian Brody and Sarah
149
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:31.879
Pawley play Clive and Elsa scientists combining animal DNA. Then
150
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:38.799
they go even further human DNA added secretly and recklessly.
151
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.600
In horror, Just to see if We Can is basically
152
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.200
the same as reading Latin from a book bound in
153
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:55.000
human skin. What they create is Dren part experiment, part child,
154
00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:01.200
part creature, part mirror. And that's where Splice gets more
155
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:06.320
uncomfortable than a simple monster made in a lab kind
156
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:11.159
of movie. The horror is not just that Dren exists.
157
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.159
It's that Clive and Elsa keep changing what she is
158
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:23.679
depending on what lets them avoid responsibility. Science, child, animal secret.
159
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.919
Splice isn't really asking whether we should fear genetic engineering.
160
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:34.159
It's asking what happens when human beings get godlike tools
161
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:41.919
while still carrying human cowardice, jealousy, ego, and need. Dren's
162
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:48.879
design is unforgettable. It's graceful, but innocent and always upsetting.
163
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.360
The movie makes you care about something that shouldn't exist,
164
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:58.200
then makes you sit with how dangerous that care becomes.
165
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.559
At the box office, Splice underperformed about twenty seven point
166
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:08.159
one million dollars worldwide on a reported thirty million dollar budget,
167
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.840
which is a hefty budget for a horror film, but
168
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.399
as a deep cut, it is aged into a chilling
169
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:21.360
cautionary tale where the laboratory is clean, the ethics are rotten,
170
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:25.639
and the monster is born long before the creature hatches.
171
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:33.159
It's truly a memorable film and absolutely a worthy deep cut. Unfortunately,
172
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.159
the availability is not great right now. Your best option
173
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.720
is to get a hold of a physical copy on
174
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.799
Amazon or wherever you buy your physical media, and there
175
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.440
were rumblings that it might be available on DirectTV if
176
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:57.919
you're a subscriber, but otherwise I can't find it really anywhere. Now,
177
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.440
let's take a moment to celebrate so birthdays in the
178
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.519
horror realm, starting with one that is very synonymous with
179
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:10.799
my childhood. Born on June first, nineteen seventy seven, is
180
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:16.919
Danielle Harris, Halloween franchise survivor and Jamie Lloyd herself, a
181
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:22.039
modern scream queen with serious slasher credibility and one of
182
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.759
the best reputations with fans out there. A very happy birthday,
183
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:34.519
Danielle Harris born on June fourth, nineteen fifty six. Keith David,
184
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.519
not to be confused with my confusion a few weeks
185
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.600
back of David Keith, I know, I know, But Keith
186
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.279
David is a phenomenal actor. He has that voice, that
187
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:52.279
presence and genre immortality through the thing they live, Pitch
188
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.919
Black and so much more. Keith David has the voice,
189
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.279
he has the look, and In They Live, he brings
190
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.519
the film together and manages to hold his own with
191
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:07.240
Rowdy Roddy Piper, both in charisma and in physical fighting.
192
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:14.720
So Happy birthday, Keith David. Now we're talking just straight
193
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:20.559
up horror royalty because born on June sixth, nineteen forty seven,
194
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:27.000
Robert England Freddy Krueger, full stop, What more do you need?
195
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.840
I mean, he's Freddy Krueger. And they tried another Freddy
196
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.720
Krueger and it didn't work as well as Robert England
197
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.039
because he has the theatricality, the cruelty, the humor, and
198
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:44.320
he just pushes this mythicness about him. He's an actor
199
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.679
beyond Freddy Krueger. But if we're talking about horror history,
200
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.639
this is about as big as you get without playing
201
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:55.360
Dracula or the Wolfman for the first time, and he
202
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.000
has other great horror contributions, but come on, man, Freddy Kruger.
203
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:08.240
Happy Birthday, Robert England. And finally, born on June seventh,
204
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:14.920
nineteen oh nine, Jessica Tandy, elegant, legendary, and forever part
205
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.960
of Hitchcock history thanks to her contributions in The Birds.
206
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:28.519
Happy Birthday, Jessica Tandy, are then and now. This week
207
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:34.039
is horror moving into spaces that are supposed to be controlled.
208
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.720
Psycho two says the past isn't dead just because the
209
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:45.079
court says you're free and saying. Poltergeist says the dream
210
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.079
house can still be built on a grave. The Omen
211
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:54.519
says evil can be packaged, dated and sold like an event.
212
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.599
The Purge says the real monster may be civilization with
213
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:04.400
the rules turned off, and Splice asks the modern question,
214
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:09.319
what if creation is easy, but responsibility is the part
215
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:19.200
where not evolved enough to handle. For our weekly recommendation,
216
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:24.839
if you want something vicious, funny, and deeply uncomfortable to
217
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:29.960
pair with this week's horror history mood, give the loved
218
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:34.640
Ones a watch. Released in limited US theaters on June first,
219
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:39.559
twenty twelve, Sean Burns, Australian horror film takes the familiar
220
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:44.599
teen nightmare of prom Night and twists it into something nastier,
221
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:50.519
with rejection, obsession, captivity, family dysfunction, and one of modern
222
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:57.400
horror's most deranged special occasions. The setup is simple and brutal.
223
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.599
Brent turns down Lola's inn to the school dance. Lola
224
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.559
doesn't take it well. What follows is part torture horror,
225
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.960
part pitch black teen movie, and part nightmare fairy tale
226
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.960
with Robin mcleevy giving a performance that feels like prom
227
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:23.640
queen and spoiled child and monster all fighting for the
228
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.240
same crown. Give it a watch. It's available to rent
229
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:31.359
